the cut out for the none existent truss rod adjuster
[/quote]Ehhhh... that's where you put the allen key to adjust the truss rod so you don't have to take the neck off.

I know your a Fender/conventional bass basher but I have to agree on one thing this time, the cut out for the none existent truss rod adjuster would piss me right off!

I have a Hartke bass with this design for adjusting the truss rod. Unfortunately because of the size of allen key required to do the adjustments the cut out wasn't sufficiently big enough to fit the allen key without taking the neck off anyway.

Doesnt look big enough to me, Just looks like a pickguard off a different bass.

Exactly, none wheel of fortune truss rod adjusters should be banned IMO

[/quote]Trust me, it is There's a channel routed into the body which gives plenty of room to get the allen key in and make adjustments.

[/quote]They use them on the guitars, stick to allen bolts on the basses. Not arsed either way, personally, once it works

[stingrayPete1977]

It's just a much better design, once some ham fisted get has muched the wrong size allen key in the bolt head and then leant it against the body cavity making sure to chew all that lovely pink wood up it will look poop

BTW that Tele is well nice!

Was it here or TB where some fella was complaining that shop shop had made sh*te of his wheel and chipped paint under it during a setup? It's easy to botch both designs in the wrong hand, but the point is this thing is pink and I like it!

[alyctes]

I like the pink Jazz. Not sure about the matching headstock though.

You've got to have a matching headstock. IMO you should have a matching neck too.

[Doctor J]

Agreed. The matching headstock is what makes it all work. A matching neck might be too Easter Bunny, though

I think that was on TB

Hot Pink Jazz, Maple fretboard with black blocks, or plain maple. Matching headstock, all matte black hardware. My dream bass, don't be ashamed.
