You would have to try pretty hard to damage a Jazz bass. Heavy strings won't hurt it.


I warped a 71 Jazz bass neck with Labella 760M Jamerson set. Mr. Jamerson warped the neck on his '62 Precision with them. So I would not say that the Jazz Bass s magically immune to string tension caused problems.

The modern USA reinforced necks are certainly stronger. But nothing is foolproof.
