GreeneKing Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Prompted by the need to photo my Jazz for a BCer and the fact that it's a beautiful day here in Lakeland here's a few basses for you. Thunderbird in the back yard. Previously mentioned Jazz deluxe Another of the T'bird Yes, it's the Ultimate Flea Japanese non export Aerodyne As nice a Bass Collection as you'll find Les Evans And my newest aquisition, Aria Pro II CSB-450, dinky The Les Evan and T'Bird are for sale and the Jazz may be. They don't seem to be attracting any interest in the 'For Sale' section so maybe here? Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
queenofthedepths Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Nice! Even better than what I was hoping for when I first spotted this thread... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 The jazz deluxe looks a like the body has been squashed in the vertical slightly. I really like it. Is this a trick of the eye/camera/monitor or can I buy a jazz that looks like this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreeneKing Posted May 15, 2008 Author Share Posted May 15, 2008 I suspect it's due to Irfanview defaulting to a size reduction format. As Irfamview is free yes you too can reconfigure all your basses for nowt Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreeneKing Posted May 17, 2008 Author Share Posted May 17, 2008 (edited) [quote]isn't it just one of these? they all have downsized bodies like that.[/quote] It certainly is one of those, in that case ut's not Irfamview's fault. It's for sale at £800 plus P&P and its only seen about 30 min home use being bought new in Nov 2007. The Epiphone and the Les Evan's are also for sale. Why? I just have too many basses and I'm off to Uni in Oct Peter Edited May 17, 2008 by GreeneKing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul, the Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 What do you think of the CSB-450, Peter? Feel free to describe its tone in comparison to your other basses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreeneKing Posted May 17, 2008 Author Share Posted May 17, 2008 Well Paul, it's a surprise. I expected the tone to be a little limited but in fact it's really good. A great 'bluesey' feel with the tone turned down and a lot of brightness added with it turned up. The original strings that were old and have now been replaced were very light gauge and with the medium scale they seemed like 'butter' to play, shame they were past their best really.

Tait Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 is that a replacement pickguard on the thunderbird? i thought they had a little logo on them? forgot to say, i adore white non export aerodynes! they're just soo cool, with the black binding... mmm...

OutToPlayJazz Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Excuse me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the USA Deluxe Jazz have a slighly different body shape to the Standards? I know the neck is a little longer at 22 frets... Loving your Modulus Flea, Peter! That's definitely the colour to have. Is it the same as the new one Beedster bought the other week?
