BassAgent

Just ordered new intonation and bridge mounting screws for this beaut. I saw the bridge isn't on straight. Can't wait to put the original back on.

I have this 1973 Jazz Bass currently in to clean and setup. The bridge pickup is veeeeery very soft. The neck pickup is functioning fine. Is it just a matter of having the pickup rewound? The pots and all other solder looks fine and is original. The bridge is a Schaller, but I have the original bridge with it. It does lack two intonation screws and springs.

Limited editions for 2024. They're so hideous I want a VI.

Well yeah but it is, but cheaper. My 3 (body) refinished Fenders don't sound or play different from an original. I want the sound and feel of an old Fender, not the exact original finish. If the wood, hardware and electronics are original: sign me up. Oh and the refin has to be pretty. I mean: nothing wrong with a good refin.

I can confirm that adding lollipops will look absolutely stunning.

Oh wow, that looks stunning! Hope it sounds as good as it looks. But well, being a Squier CV, I guess it'll be fine.

Oh yeah definitely. However: most basses from that era are not really...ehm...my thing.

I see it now and then: people that own a birth year bass. It makes me a bit envious: being born in 1990 my options are not great, except for perhaps the Kubicki Jazz or a Ken Smith or something. Who owns a cool birth year bass and if you do, did you buy it because of the bass or because of the year?

Oh my, that looks perfect. I know the feeling: both my 66 and 70 Jazzes have had refrets that have made them absolutely immaculate.

I love the fact they have a page "Stuff that no one buys" on their website and that that page is empty.

But that's not a matching headstock.

I'd be surprised if 2 matching headstock black slab board 62s exist.

Aaaaaactually there are two things that Fender couldn't do: JMJ uses D'Addario longscale strings on his '66 but Fender didn't want to use those so they looked for Fender longscale flats that were the most similar to the D'Addarios. My contributions: -Dingwall NG. How many people actually know who Nolly Getgood is apart from Periphery fans? -Fender Geddy Lee, which is basically "just" a very good 1972 reissue with a heavy bridge -Fender Flea Jazz, which is basically "just" a very good 1961 reissue -Fender Sting, which is basically "just" a very good 1955 reissue -Epiphone Jack Casady -Sandberg Ken Taylor. I honestly do not know who Ken Taylor is.

Send it to Amsterdam, I'll take care of it until you want it back😁
