I managed to tweak the truss rod on my Ibanez Talman bass, and now the fret buzz has been eliminated, and the action is still smooth, so I'm back with that again. I don't know what happened with it in the first place. Maybe the weather screwed with the neck, I don't know? The house isn't climate controlled, and I've had issues with other instruments because of that. I did still put some time in with the Ibanez CT series bass, so I can get adjusted to also playing long scale basses, besides the short scale ones.

That sure is great that's all it took to get those strings back in line.

I'm glad too, otherwise I would have had to smash it. :P I'm kidding, of course. That's one thing I could never bring myself to do, no matter how crappy a guitar is.

Agreed. I worked so hard to keep road gear looking good for the shows.

I'd rather give an instrument to someone that doesn't have one, instead of destroying it, theatrics or not. That's just me.

I got back to a Standard style Jazz, in the Player Jazz. I acquired the Polar White, Maple Board today.

I'm actually curious about that one, if it's any improvement over the Standard it's supposed to replace.

I think the biggest upgrade was to the Alnico V pups. Fender also mentions some hand work on the body.

Wasn't the pickups the main thing that interested you with this?

Yes, and I'm glad it did. This Player Jazz plays, and sounds like an Am. Std., for about half of the price the Am. Std.'s were going for. It does play great through the Rumble 800 HD, and the Ampeg SVT-410HLF cab also. Image Image

I like it. I wouldn't be too crazy about moving the HLF cab with out a truck, but the sounds are pounding with an 800 watt head playing through it. Image
