    The Precision I recently put together from mix and matching all my Fenders and Squiers creeps in at a shade UNDER 7lb. It's so light that the MIM Fender/Mighty Mite 8.7lb backup feels like it's made of lead!

    No experience of Warmoth. Have two Precision basses, both of which have Jazz necks. One is a black-blocks-and-binding all maple Allparts neck, and is amazing. The other is an all-maple Mighty Mite neck, and while definitely a lesser neck, it is still very good indeed. The Allparts necks can be as expensive as Wsrmoth, or nearly so.

    +1 for Ronnnie.

    Culling the herd, so this has to go! For those that don't know, the American Specials are US built, but with MIM tuners, better than MIM pickups, Greasebucket tone circuit, and very slim C neck profile. In this case, the neck profile is VERY slim - if you like 'em skinny, this is your Jazz! Has the Posiflex graphite support rods and heel end truss rod adjuster, exactly as American Standards. W/B/W pickguard. Cosmetically not top-notch body-wise. Couple of dinks in the front, quite a lot of light scatching to the rear. Nothing major. Neck is in excellent shape, no dings, good frets. Strung with TI Jazz Flats. Includes Fender Deluxe gig bag. Weight: 8.9lb. Apologies, typo! [b]Includes delivery[/b], shipped in a standard Fender box. Piccies: [attachment=149881:DSC00004.JPG] [attachment=149876:Dsc00001.jpg] [attachment=149877:DSC00002.JPG] [attachment=149878:Dsc00005.jpg] [attachment=149879:DSC00006.JPG] [attachment=149880:DSC00008.JPG] Welcome to view, I'm in Tavistock, West Devon.Priced £25 cheaper if you collect in person!

    Pair of Jazz pickups, ceramic Mexican with raised A and D pole pieces. They are the unequal length set. Windings read around 5 to 5.3 kOhms DC. Covers are a bit scratched - good for a Road Worn style bass maybe? [attachment=149871:Jazz_pups.jpg] Includes postage.

    I made my own, albeit without the selector. Squier VM fretless and VM PJ, 20 minutes with a screwdriver and string winder, bingo! Although it's ebanol and lined rather than ebony and unlined. Standard VVT controls, works fine!

    As detailed in other threads, I have been on a massive frankensteining of all my Fenders/Squiers, so the fretless neck is now on a Squier PJ body! The fretless' original body was so light, I made it into my main gigging fretted bass. At one rehearsal, my fretted developed a fault, so I had to complete the nearly 3 hours out of four on the fretless. Baptism of fire, but it was fine, sounded good.

    I think it's a great bass for the money.
  14. Telebass
    That's good news - one of these is next on my list!

    Never understood this problem with high gloss necks. Prefer them, in fact!

    While I am certainly not a great (or even particularly good) bass player, when I picked it up again aged 50, I knew within weeks I was better than I'd ever been before. Why? Confidence? So I'd say that apart from raw talent, your circumstances at the time can have a massive effect too.

    My first P was a transition piece. 1975, it had black guard, E side thumb rest, sans serif logo. However, there was no serial under the logo, it was on the neck plate as normal up to that era. Of course, you never realise these tbings at the time...

    Bump?

    Forgot to say, brensabre, thst the American Special Jazz neck might be just what you're after!

    Strangely, I played this weekend's gigs with the unmodified Jazz. I'm REALLY not a Jazz man. It was great! Just need to change that white pickguard, though...
  24. Telebass
    If I had the cash, I'd own this by now! Not after an Alien acoustic, by any faint chance?
