I know Les Paul’s always have what they call “medium jumbo”, but I don’t know if Gibson used a smaller fret size similar to what Fenders used on their guitars in the 50′s. I’ve never been able to see or feel a real Gibson ES-150 or a vintage L-5. I think the newer L-5 models and ES-175 have frets similar to a current Les Paul.

I was looking for a nice light bass, and the ’62 Jazz Bass seemed just fine.

What’s the difference between the Fender Vintage ’62 Jazz Bass and Fender ’62 Reissue Jazz Bass? They are both Fender-Japan, by the way.

I’m a high school jazz band guitarist looking for a tube amp. How much power/watts do I need?

Guitar: American Vintage ’52 Reissue
Current Amp: Fender Princeton ’65 Made in Mexico

Looking for a tube amp with fat jazzy sound that can pierce through a high school band. Budget around $600~800.
