bumnote Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 I would like to try that combination of a Jazz Body with a precision neck, but with the normal jazz pickups. Quote

merello Posted January 22, 2011 Author Posted January 22, 2011 Can we start a Fender Swap Shop? Quote
jezzaboy Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 That is one ugly bass! A Jazz body without a pickup in the bridge postion? It`s just not right. And who is gonna play the Dog and Duck with a pink bass? Not me girls! Jez Quote
Doddy Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 Reminds me of when I saw a Cort Tim Stevens signature model in a shop. Quote

poptart Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 Well - I had not heard of Mr Hopper either! However this hybrid beast is actually pretty cool, the pink ones are rare if that is your thing ;-) Regards Mark Quote
MacDaddy Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 I've had a P and a J, but I always wanted a P with a J neck. Quote

Truckstop Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 No, it's not mine, but I really want it. I saw it in the flesh when I went to pick up my '83 P and, in person, the colour's actually quite acceptable. The pictures make the damage on the top horn look massive, but it's really not! I want it!!!!!! Truckstop Quote
ThomBassmonkey Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 [quote name='Johnston' post='1104078' date='Jan 26 2011, 05:31 PM']Why is it called a precision when it has a Jazz body?? If you put Three single coils on a telecaster does it become a strat?[/quote] IIRC the body shape is the only thing on it that resembles a jazz. If you cut a telecaster body into the shape of a strat, does it make it a strat when the electrics, hardware and neck are all still the telecaster specs? Quote
waynepunkdude Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 It's Fender's bass the could call it Jim if they wanted. Quote
MacDaddy Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 [quote name='waynepunkdude' post='1102892' date='Jan 25 2011, 10:20 PM']I have one, it's awesome.[/quote] cool, can you bring it to the next SE or London bash you go to? I'd quite like a reverse headstock so I could put a hipshot on it. I've heard the extra length of the E makes the downtuning to D better. Not sure if it's true though. Quote
