An Adam Clayton Jazz in Sherwood Green Metallic. It plays great.

Yes, a bound neck would have been nice. Very good point.

There will be a full review and more pics incoming during the next few days (in short, it's glorious), but here's a lovely shot of my De Gier Bebop 5 to get you going:

Gulp! that's rather nice

[Clarky]

Wow, Rick. That is drop dead gorgeous! I presume this is the product of the multiple-part trade you mentioned to me?

Ohh... I've gone off Fenders somewhat of late, but that is truly exceptional. Nice, nice, nice.

Can you actually beat a pre-CBS Jazz Bass in sunburst? Not for me you can't

This page needs more stacked knobs.

Replaced the three knob control plate on my Chi-Sonic Squier with a two knob stacked one today.
More tonal control and it just looks so nice.

My old Fender Jazz Bass '78, original from neck up with the exception of refret and new saddle...


The original body is led heavy and literally broke my back...


The new beautiful body is made by luthier Tommy Bizzotto here in Sweden. (www.bizzotto.se)


The body is made of ash and "heavily chambered". The top is flamed Swedish birch. Some customisations: a nice cutout on the back of the lower horn allowing easy access to all frets.
The belly cut is made more... mature for a mature player...

Why mess up an original bass? Well, an original bass that is unplayed is no good to anyone. Due to its weight (8,5 kg!!!&!) it was retired. Then I met Maestro Bizzotto who promised to make a miracle.
The bass is still on the heavier side, but now completely managable. What about the tone, then? Of course it changed, but a silent bass that never is allowed to sing its heart out has no sound at all.
Now the tone is a bit more P-bass-ish but still with the bite associated to the late 70's Jazz basses.

I've owned this bass since '82 and now it is in my fleet again...

8.5kg! Do you still have the rest of it?

Yep! In a closet! I pick it out sometimes to frighten my friends. If you look under the thread with modified basses you'll find pictures of the original body. To be fair, it wasn't just the body that was heavy on this "monstrosity"; you could club an ox with the neck without that much effort. Then it had Badass bridge and three pups and solid metal knobs adding to that. Anyway, the neck have NO dead notes whatsoever due to that fact.
Happy new year, btw!

[/quote] That's a nice bass for sure! I've always wanted a bass like that but with five strings; now I am a bit closer to that. I got this one on the way home now - not a Fender, but you recognise the "origins"...

That Lakland is so nice, I love it!

I have a 2013 USA std Jazz V in the same finish and RW board as Rick's '61, I quite fancy an active preamp in it so if I stacked the knobs like that I would end up with a five string version of that just without the ashtrays....hhmmm food for thought

Here's my modded CIJ Geddy Lee Jazz bass. Mods are:-

- Entwistle Neo pickups
- Hipshot HB2 tuners
- High quality capacitor
- Alchemy amalgamation symbol
- Geddy Lee holographic neck plate (a bugger to photograph!)
- Fender straplocks

Now it rocks!!

Pictured with my only other bass.
