Yeah. The “78” is getting there…

[AndyTravis]

I’d say that’s a wrap…well until I add the screws…

 

thanks @walshy

I picked this Mike Lull J5 up from Bass Direct a few months back.

so glad to be back on a jazz, it just feels so right!

I bought a proper 'F brand' bridge cover for the VM - I'm a happy bunny. 😀

Now that I've got a decent pair again, decided to get em out...

 

2011 American Standard Jazz and my newly-acquired 2004 American Deluxe QMT Jazz

 

Both remind me that no matter how much I am mostly a P or Ray guy these days, I do love a good Jazz.

Still on the hunt for a nice passive model with a rosewood board. Maybe like an American Vintage or something...

Can't forget this one either... A bit growly. It's a Harley Benton JBFL and I cannot believe it was less than £160 new.

I still love him even though he's chewed my SWR amp!

Naughty boy. But very hard to be angry with a charmer like that.

Lovely colour! Is the protective film still on the pickguard and pickups a conscious choice or more of a  "ah yeah that's something I still have to do" kind of thing?

Haha well I am pretty sure I had the film off the pickups before the gig but it is the kind of thing I'd forget. It only arrived a day or two before that gig. All stickers are well and truly off now, 10 months later.

 I bought this '94 jazz off here from Ramsey777 as I was looking for a project. It was originally red and had been converted (very well) to have P pickups. I wanted to add a PJ to the collection but with jazz neck/body, so really glad this came up. 

Stripped the body back and resprayed in Gulf Racing blue. Added a new white pickguard. 

Really happy with the result. Took my time setting it up how I like it and plays and sounds great.

MIJ Jazz in Maui blue. Arrived yesterday but only got around to testing it out today.

Fit & finish are superb, pickups fine normally I would change them but I’m going to dabble with a Frank Bello pedal and see how it goes with the Geddy settings that are covered in the Bello pedal, *tuners feel fine too* might stick a Hipshot extender on tho. All in very happy…..*famous last words 2 tuners really stiff in turning so looking for a set of HB10’s*

I don't pick up this bass as much as I'd like to, because it has 70's pickup spacing. But boy, is it a pretty bass.

Hello everyone!

Here are mine: got the Contemporary recently & a friend is keeping his 40th Anniversary Jazz for me, so i will have it in a couple of months when i move to France! Can't wait!

[BassAgent]

For the first time ever, 3 5-string Jazzes in the house. And boy, are they great.

Here's my Harley Benton JB75 NA Jazz Bass. I picked it up in march and I really love it. She's a heavy girl but I have a nice 3.5" Padded strap to distribute the weight.

 

I've done a few upgrades to it since I've had it and I'm happy with where it is now. I just want to change the scratch guard for a B/W/B one and she will be finished.

 

I've fitted Gotoh GB640 Reso-lite tuning heads, Dimarzio Area J's and a John East J-Tone preamp and Schaller style strap locks. I've also done the shielding, and grounding on it too. Strung with Dunlop Marcus Millers Stainless Steels.

'06 VM after I'd been out with it the other day - it's 'only a Squier' but there's no doubt that this is a 'real' Jazz.. ❤️

A good jazz bass is a good jazz bass! 

 

I've played affinity's that were better than some USA standards I've also played.

Agreed - 100%. 💯 ❤️

[SurroundedByManatees]

The 2 jazzes I currently own; Custom Shop '66 in aged firemist silver, and an ESP 800 series (messe '91). Both are terrific.

Couple quick photos of this Japanese Reissue I picked up on here this week - reversed Geddy?

 

Been after a nice clean one for a while that hasn't been drilled for a bridge cover. Already upgraded with a nice Gotoh bridge and Seymour Duncans, plays great!
