I agree.The Bb is right.It does clash with the guitar,which should be playing a B,but it still works as an instantly catchy bassline.

[quote name='andy67' post='281288' date='Sep 10 2008, 05:55 PM']What a journey! cool you got both though! Just noticed it has a fender precision decal, I recognise it as I bought one of the same myself recently. I would take it off and get the right Jazz one. I'm sure I've still got the email/website address of this particular manufacturer (decal) give me a shout if you want too. andy[/quote] I'm glad my Bass is going to somebody who really wants it!The thing is,it really is a Precision,but I've seen a lot of comments both on this forum as well as Talkbass,that it can't be a P bass because it has J type pups.It has a P bass body,and scratchplate,albeit with different cutouts,so if nothing else,it's a conversation piece,a bit of an oddity if you like and I suppose a Jazz decal would add to that.But she's(all basses are female,by the way)definitely a Precision.

Everything OK bridge-wise?Does it happen on all strings,or just one?

Check out the rest of his stuff!

Jase,I hunted through the book"The Fender Bass:an illustrated history" and could find no reference to such a beast.I must admit,it looks pretty sharp.Think I'll go for it!

I have FrankenJazz bass,sunburst,tort pickguard,rosewood fingerboard,the works.I really like this bass but I feel that the neck is not as good as it could be.I've seen a neck on the Bay,but heres the problem.It's maple,with maple fingerboard and dot inlays.Has anyone ever seen a Jazz with this combination.I'm trying to imagine what it might look like.Any sunburst Jazz with a maple fingerboard usually has block inlays,but I've never seen one with dots.Thoughts anybody?Is there anybody out there who's good at Photoshop who could provide a sort of preview?Cheers guys.

It's vastly overpriced.I bought one S/H of the Bay a year ago and paid £80 for it. PS I'm selling it now.

Normally if the wire is attached to the centre tag of the tone control,it should connect to the #1 tag on the volume control ie with the red pup lead,but the green wire seems to be over long for that,so I'm not sure.

I'm actually listening to my Short Wave radio.On 14195khz USB there is an Italian voice endlessly repeating what sounds like"Macaroni,bastardoni ,barchista!"I kid you not.Every now and then theres a burst of music over the top of him.Takes me back to my old CB days!

Looks like its perfectly OK Escholl.Thinman has put my mind at rest re the one volume control scenario,and also the pot type issue as well.I checked and it is a linear pot,so I've ordered an audio taper pot.Problem solved!Cheers guys.

Thanx Escholl but further to my query,I have installed the pot and now find the volume sweep is confined to the last 1/4 turn of the Volume control (neck pickup control).Also in series mode,the bridge pup control does not operate at all.In parallel mode everything is normal except for the aforementioned volume sweep problem.I may have got the modes mixed up as I'm not sure which is the default.Clear as mud?I followed the diagram from the Seymour Duncan website.Is the pot value critical.Pointers anyone?Ta!

Nice Jazz Marcus.I like the bridge you have there.Seems like the saddles are huge,a bit like Sadowsky.Tell you what,if you ever decide to change that bridge,PM me and I'll take that one off your hands.Good luck with the bass,but change the pickguard for a tort.It'll be perfect then.

His feedback isn't all that bad,and as regards the bass in question,it is the same bass as previously listed by him.Seems he was messed about by the previous buyer,for reasons that are all too obvious now,refunded him and got the bass back.I e-mailed him re the ply wood issue.He responded twice,but did not mention my comments on the subject.Anyway the bass is now withdrawn from sale.
