This jazz bass is a bit of a mystery.
The person I bought it off bought it like this so he knows nothing of it either.
Its an exceptional jazz bass.
Looks and sounds gorgeous.
It has had the following mods by the looks of it:
1. Metal nut.
2. New machine heads / Tuners.
3. New pick ups.
4. New active preamp.
5. Fender high mass bridge.
6. "Leo" decal.
It has a gorgeous wood and is beautifully finished.
The neck is one of the best shapes I've played. It's quite flat feeling and very easy to play.
The machine heads have been changed, I can tell as one is slightly proud, but doesn't affect anything.
The pickups are just lovely.
Mixed with the preamp this gives a ridiculous amount of tones available. The front does a decent p sound. The bridge gives that classic jazz sound.
The high mass bridge by Fender improves stability and sustain.
The jack isnt on the control plate, it's in the body position.
Its on the heavier side, I would say over 4kg.
As I say, I don't know what this started as, or what it is, I just know it's a beastly jazz. Plays and sounds lovely, is super versatile and looks beautiful. I'm guessing but the price for the upgrades would have been expensive.
Pick up Leyland Lancashire.
