Best noiseless picksup for 5 string Jazz Bass? | TalkBass.com
Apr 18, 2015 · Just wondering which noisless pickups you'd recommend for a (MIM) Fender Jazz 5? This particular bass seems exceptional for what it is but the standard pickups are limiting as any deviation from both pickups on at equal levels brings on the hum. FWIW, this bass has had an Audere pro drop-in preamp installed (if it makes any difference).
Learning slap: 4-string vs. 5-string Fender Jazz | TalkBass.com
Dec 25, 2007 · Ive played an ibanez 4 string for 3 years, and learning slap with that was fairly easy. but switching to my new 5 string ibanez was pretty difficult, because when i was unaccuate with my slaps on a 4 string, it didnt cause too many problems. if you are unaccurate on a 5 string, you'll often sound you're low b string unintentionally. your best bet ,in my opinion, would be to …
Fender American Ultra Jazz 5 - Pros/Cons - TalkBass.com
Mar 9, 2022 · Alembic, Pedulla, Warwick, Fender, etc.. The Arctic Pearl finish was glorious, as was the tone. It was a keeper I foolishly did not keep. The only possible negative was the weight, which I would expect for an active Jazz fiver and was not at all a deal breaker for me. Again, awesome tone, looks and build quality.

Nov 28, 2009 · On my 2006 MIM Deluxe 5 string Jazz Bass the dimension from the B string saddle to the G string saddle is 2 11/16" or 68 mm.

Fender Jazz Bass: What type/brand of strings do you use on yours?
Jun 23, 2014 · For example, a set of TI Jazz Flats for a 5-string costs about $100. That sounds like a huge amount. The current set of TI JF's on my four string have sounded great for about 4 years, at around 60-70 gigs a year plus frequent jam sessions and nearly daily practice. Conservatively, I've used these strings over 700 times.
Issues with the Fender Ultra Jazz 5 - TalkBass.com
Mar 27, 2014 · The string also did not align over the pickup pole pieces correctly. The problem is that the bridge appears to be 19mm as opposed to the typical Fender 5 string spacing of 18-ishmm. I think Fender just went to this bridge for whatever reason without making any other design changes, like making the neck wider or using pickups with the wider spacing.
Factory string gauge on a Fender Jazz bass - TalkBass.com
Jan 26, 2013 · I'm googling, but all the info that I find say the string gauge is a choice and it's up to whatever the bass player wants. That's all well and good, but I am specifically searching for the string gauge that Fender ships from the factory. My caliper only has 2 digits of precision so I don't know if mine has .045 or .040.
Fender Deluxe Jazz 5 - inline tuners | TalkBass.com
Jan 17, 2001 · So I wanted an inexpensive 5 string and I am a Fender guy in general but I had a really hard time looking at the 5-inline Gotoh tuners on the older MIM Jazz 5ers and the newer MIM Deluxe Jazz V models. A Fender without clover-shaped tuners just looks wrong to me. I spent a lot of time looking at tuner alternatives - Schaller, Grover, Hipshot ...
