WingedWords Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 (edited) I wanted a budget Jazz to defret and found this CIJ Noel Redding Signature in Colchester in Feb 99. I don't think it's any different from any other 65 Reissue and Noel Redding isn't a particular favourite of mine, but the association was a nice bonus. I remember seeing a picture of Noel signing a stack of pickguards at the 1997 NAMM, in the old Bassist magazine. It's a nicely made bass, too nice for me to muck about with, so it's still fretted. I never played it a lot - I think it showed me I'm a Precision sort of person, but it makes all the right Jazz Bass noises and I still think the Jazz is the most elegant design Uncle Leo ever came up with (especially in sunburst/tort.) It's staying with me. Edited June 9, 2020 by WingedWords Factual correction. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m a jazz bass man so the neck suits me. 😃👍🏻 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dov65 Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Yesterday out of the blue my wee mate sent me a text saying he was on leave from being offshore, he's a keen bass player and got some collection. I know he's had a Flea for sometime but the way things work out we never get a chance to catch up, anyway jokingly i asked if he was up for selling it...and he said yes...so after a belly full of McEwans export the deal was done. The neck is glorious bigger than a Jazz nut but the compound radius doesn't make it feel any bigger, lovely honk from the pup & pre all in very happy. Was saving up for a Spector aswell so it'll have to wait a bit longer 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As expected of a Sei, it’s a great bass, sounds and plays really like you would expect! Owned a good few Jazz basses in my time, but VT VT is a first for me, do prefer VVT, so that may be first upgrade! Slight change! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dov65 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Received this 2015 standard Jazz today and it sounds immense came with a Fender strap and lead all unused so fair happy 🙂 on the other hand the "new" Professional been sent back, it had a ding some marks at the back end a gnarled scratchguard and neck pocket was a Monday morning job & was made in 2017. Eventually the company decided it was a demo model took a bit time mind..but imagine sending a bass out like that eh!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 (edited) Nice, @Dov65 was that the one at Bassdirect? Edited August 22, 2020 by Lozz196 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dov65 Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Yeah m8, i bought it on Sunday past but somebody beat me to it..then the 1st buyer backed out or something like that and became available again. Everything in the case is minted as is the bass, it's been well looked after for a 5 year old 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dov65 Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 @Lozz196 did you have a go at BassDirect on it ? Sure they have a Deluxe model in black or did with a Kiogon loom in it too..block neck looks fine, maybe someone from here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Yes the first buyer was me, but I found the neck much chunkier thank my US Professional Jazz so my bad fortune is your good fortune. I preferred the sound of the CS pickups in the 2015 to the V-Mods in my Professional but time will tell if I replace them, at present I don’t think I will. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
