My 75 Fender jazz

[SkinnyMike]

iv been meaning to put this up for a while now and finally, here it is;

My lovely 1975 fender jazz.

Enjoy:






This is no doubt the best bass i have ever owned and its sad as it is probably the nicest jazz i will ever own.
Its got some wizard 84's, cort tuning heads and its just had some new frets and strings put on it.
It plays like a dream, especailly with thoes pups. They are hands down the best pups you can get for a jazz bass. Believe me on that one!

Cheers
Mike

I'm not normally a fan of blue without tort, but the blocks make it.

[mr_russ]

That's nice- I like the colour combination.

I'm assuming the body is a replacement of some description?

[beerdragon]

Not a big fan of blue, but that looks really nice.

[SkinnyMike]

Cheers for the reply guys and correct Mr russ, it is for now.

Im deciding getting a swamp ash body off warmouth for this to completly finish it off.

Sweet bass man. Is it all original 'cause it looks like the pickups are in the 60's position not 70's?

[Jase]

Yet another top bit of porn.....third Fender this morning, what a way to start the day!

Afraid not, the body is actually a 92'. However thats about to get swapped out for a swamp ash Warmouth body in transparent blue

mmmmmm

Dont let the idea of the 92' body fool you though, this bass is an absolute monster!

[Nino Valenti]

Nice bass. It's gonna look killer with the T-Blue Body.

[Kiwi]

Nice bass but what bits of it are actually from 1975?

[SkinnyMike]

only the neck. At the moment its a sort of 75'-92' Hybrid with new hardware. :blush: I need to source some more "original" hardware aswell at some point but for now, its good enough for a lazy student like me

The colour is great... loving it!

Looks great, amazingly low action for a Jazz, no?
