Brummiejon Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Hi all In my youth I had a brand new sunburst fender jazz bought with an insurance payout after an RTA..... I played it till the frets wore out, I modded (butchered) it by installing a ric pickup near the fretboard, I ended up getting my local luthier (jay dee) to sort it out cos of my butchery.. I traded it in about 1984 for a custom built guitar doctor... I don't know the serial number but the bass would be identifiable by the mod..... If anyone discovered that under the pickguard of their beloved 70's jazz there was a ric pup sized route created (butchered) with wood bits and chisel, it's likely to be my old jazz...... Ring any bells? I'd be fascinated to know what happened to it.... BJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brummiejon Posted May 4, 2012 Author Share Posted May 4, 2012 Hmm.... Looks like its either gone, or it's owner has never taken off the pickguard... BJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gub Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 (edited) Could be anywhere , not all bass players come here , be nice to track it down though ! Good luck Ps I know If I had one of that vintage I would be having a good dig around in all the right places and defo before parting with any cash would want to have a look under the pick guard Edited May 4, 2012 by gub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
