Apothem Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I thoroughly understand you, as I am also looking for the strings to be virtually sitting on the frets (well, almost...) Good luck with the sale, it looks fab!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardinaljay Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 A stunning bass - Some please snap this up before I sell a member of my family to fund this! Raise the action and dig in... Hard! Alright!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjones Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 (edited) I always thought the 70's jazzes had a neck tilt function operated by an small screw on the neck plate. Have you tried this? It might help you get the action lower. Edited November 26, 2011 by gjones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machinehead Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 [quote name='gjones' timestamp='1322269652' post='1448904'] I always thought the 70's jazzes had a neck tilt function operated by an small screw on the neck plate. Have you tried this? It might help you get the action lower. [/quote] Correct!! These are really, really great basses. My advice would be to keep it for a while and gradually adjust the set up until you like it. You've bought a bargain bass there. Spend some time with it. Don't sell too quickly. It'll come good.

mckendrick Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 (edited) [quote name='jimbobothy' timestamp='1322928646' post='1457424'] Hi folks, Guessing it's due to Christmas that there are so many basses for sale with so few buyers? Last bump for a while, don't want to force the issue.[/quote] I'm looking to buy all the time, Jim.... this one just isn't on my radar. I am curious however, and have a couple of points: What happened to the original scratchplate/pickguard? You say it's high at the first fret although the adjustment is good. Maybe it just needs the nut filing out a little...? Edited December 9, 2011 by mckendrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
