It's a tugbar below the strings, thumbrest above.

Can't go wrong with a CV Jazz, they really are super!

My 62 had rusty pups when I got it... sounded great... why oh why did I swap them for DiMarzios?... cry.

Superb! There's some mojo there. It will get silly...

Ahh... got the wrong end there, thanks Jon. Didn't clock the dates... FWIW I've a Jap Squier Silver Series Precision that my wife bought for me in 1990 (ish)... It's a superb bass, my son has it now. Bob.

JV's are very nice and quite sort after... I'd say that's a VERY good price. Can we have some piccys?

Yes... just treat it with a bit of common... they really are great once you've dialed in the tone you like.

Operator error... the preamp's output is surprising, I also lent it to someone who decided to run everything flat out. Doh.

I've a J-Retro on my 62 fretless... it's sounds absolutely monster... be careful with the output though, I've blown a couple of MAG 300 speakers with it!

Yes... I should have said - another expensive Fender copy.

Ahh... another Fender copy... no thanks.

Get those frets off now!... I defretted my 62 Jazz, rosewood board... no probs. It's only a Wal... blimey.

That's nice bigjohn, if it plays anything like mine it's a killer. Would look great with some vintage mojo, covers, tugbar...

You'll only make it 200% more complicated to use!

They had some great colours for MIMs around then... mine is a 2002 in Teal green metallic, looks blue and grey depending on the lighting...

I'm looking to get a CV P as a project bass... here's what I have in mind... Vintage reverse machines, matching headstock, pup cover, flat top knobs, poss light relicing... 7 neck plate, 3rd strap button (back of headstock) Or I might get the CV Jazz and do the same...

Walked past PMT again today... sunburst RW Jazz hanging in window... arrgghh!

You could do worse than a trip to Oxford (PMT Cowley Road)... they have a nice selection of 7enders inc RW P and J, or, better still, the Guitar Gallery where you can pick up a loverly eighties fretless SB1000 for £700!

Hmmm... interesting... the last Ricky I tried was awful... just awful, so I'd have to go the 7ender route. I'm nuts about them anyways. I've tried the RW and they're damn fine although I suspect the resale value won't be so good. You might find a CS for around the same money... I quite fancy the 62 Jazz RI as well. Try before you buy of course. I wish I had some cash!

I've stared at that Jazz for hours!

heh... they're both bloody good but that sonic blue does it for me.

I fitted one below the G just for the vintage vibe... it's a tugbar in this position... might move it to above the E but I'm a floater...

Brown tort... goes with anything.

Sounds great Steve! I always have my tone set to the halfway position so I can easily roll off or on some top or bottom, but use the amp for the main eq... enjoy.
