Has anyone ever had to buy one of these to ground the bridge on their Jazz bass? Looking to fit one to a bass but unsure where to get them? Basically it’s just a bent bit of copper, no?
I think it would be a bit disappointing to discover that you didn’t have to pay someone to damage a musical instrument, and that you already had the necessary skills to do it yourself.
I’d be livid!
Squier Jazz bass body in Tobacco sunburst with scratchplate and bell plate of unknown origin.
If memory serves it’s from a Squier bass and has all the holes for standard BBOT bridge and Fender sized neck (~63mm).
UPDATE: Just wired the scratch plate to a pair of aftermarket no-name pickups and an output jack. Just needs a neck, bridge and strings - the wire sticking out of the body is for the bridge ground and doesn't need soldering.
There are a couple of ‘doubles’ where it looks like an earlier scratchplate hasn’t quite lined up, but these are hidden when the plate’s on.
SOLD.
Barefaced Compact with Roqsolid cover. In excellent condition and original handle. It came to me with a replacement handle but it’s not been needed.
collection preferred but not a deal breaker.
I play finger style (mostly) in a mix of rock, metal, pop covers and (only sometimes), Jazz.
I don't use a specific compressor as most of the time I play with overdrive on (pedal or amp), and that compresses the signal enough for me.
