Hutton Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 (edited) As my son is travelling in Australia and New Zealand at the moment I am the custodian of his gear. Whereas I am a precision fan he is into his Jazzes. There is one of his basses in particular that I have enjoyed noodling about on. It's a 2004 American Series Jazz with S-1 switch which has had an ebony lined fretless board added by legandary Scottish luthier Jimmy Moon. A black pickguard was also added to complement the black of the ebony. I think it definitely looks better than the white original. The finish is sunset orange transparent which just sets the whole thing off. Edited February 3, 2013 by Hutton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hutton Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Sadly, this bass is now for sale as my son has contacted me to say that he is in need of funds. It is posted in the 'for sale' section with new photos taken today (Feb 15th) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacqueslemac Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Any excuse to post another photo: I must put some black strings on it someday. It doesn't get used much nowadays, mostly because of this: my USA Jazz Deluxe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xilddx Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 [quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1347569860' post='1802682'] I just picked this up from BC'er Orbs (aka Tom). These are Tom's pics which are TBH better than I could do, hence I hope he doesn't mind me using them [attachment=118255:P1010140.jpeg][attachment=118254:P1010145.jpg][attachment=118253:P1010142.jpg] [/quote] Clarky, that's gorgeous!

ChickenKiev Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 (edited) Already posted this in a different thread, but I don't care because I'm a little bit proud of this bass (though it's nothing that special really) as it was my first attempt to mod a bass at the ripe old age of 17: [IMG]http://i1158.photobucket.com/albums/p611/jamesyjamesyjamesy/00ACC2D2-2B6B-4339-B502-8F940F53436B-2186-00000402906C993A_zpsbf9fa4d9.jpg[/IMG] It's a MiM Fender Jazz, but a chip of the nut flew out while I was playing live. I then fell out of love with it for a year and let all the hardware rust like mad. I then decided it'd be a neat upgrade project. I added a new nut and found some black and chrome hardware, a new pickguard (the original was white) and some Seymour Duncan Basslines, though I forget which model. It's currently sporting some Ernie Ball Power Slinky strings and set up in drop B. Love this bass. It's my current number 1.

Minty Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 (edited) Can't afford to buy a custom made scratchplate right now, so I routed my old one for the time being! Edited March 28, 2013 by Minty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3cina Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 (edited) My 83/84 jazz bass (body 83 neck 84) with modifications. As far I'm concerned it was the model with singlecut scratchplate with rosewood fingerboard and 5 digit E-serial number (most singlecut scratchplate basses had maple fingerboard). Other mods: badass II bridge and fender original 62 pickups. Edited March 29, 2013 by 3cina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bass-Driver Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Ahhh, the Jazz Bass. Probably the most versatile bass ever - the "one sound fits all" kind. Every man and his dog has one but there's a good reason for that Anyway - as a proponent of the thesis that a fretted Jazz sounds and looks best with maple board and 70s pickup layout (and as a man without enough spare change in the pocket to buy an original MIA 70s Jazz) I got meself a Geddy. And got rid of the pickguard immediately because black + maple = sexy. I've had this bass for a bit over 1.5 year now and this is the one that gets the most practice time at home. I also wish I played more stuff that doesn't require the B string because this baby definitely deserves to be gigged more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubinga5 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 (edited) this is one killer jazz bass.. 96 MIJ non export 75 RI Jazz bass.. now has Lindy Fralin single coil pickups.. the tone is very aggressive 75 jazz bass, but can be very smooth also, the fralins are fantastic pckups..its quite rare for an MIJ 75, as it has 70's spacing.. i now know that it was a special order MIJ 75.... stupidly was going to trade it recently..
