Clarky Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 You're all missing the obvious - it cannot be a Jazz bass as it does not have a beret Quote
EssentialTension Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 Have you ever thought that you'd do anything for a bit of cheese? Quote
slobluesine Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 hmmmn.... sorry but 9lb is heavy as f**k for 70's Jazz, seriously is Quote
poptart Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 Hi guys - wow you lot are on fire!!! ;-) Actually - I am not convinced it is Alder, it could be ash, it is really hard to tell. I am taking it to my tech next week to confirm. ( You can check easier by taking the neck off but I am reluctant to do this) Mark PS - It is definitely not cheese! Quote

henry norton Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 [quote name='BoomBass' post='996727' date='Oct 22 2010, 10:36 AM']True, but if one doesn't know the difference between pre-CBS and CBS, he/she shouldn't buy basses from those periods :-)[/quote] Fair point, but I'll bet 99 out of 100 Basschatters couldn't tell the difference in a blind test....

However, alder has relatively little figure and Fender rarely used it on sunbursts for that reason. Quote

Surely you can buy whatever you like? Quote
