Breaking my jazz bass for parts. Looks good, sounds good and plays well but unfortunately a little neck heavy.

Bought the parts from the states ([url="http://www.guitarfetish.com"]http://www.guitarfetish.com[/url]) as a last ditch attempt at making a lightweight jazz and it turned out really well (even had it professionally set up). Tried to mitigate the nose-dive by screwing a lead weight into the control cavity and extending the strap button on the top horn (good trick that, have to remember to do that again in future), which helped a lot but didn't solve it.

Went together really well, so nothing is mangled. Guy who set it up moved the bridge back by 1 cm to get the intonation spot on but he tells me he filled the old holes before putting the bridge back on. Not an issue, as will be hidden by any bridge you put on there. Don't think the holes will be compatible with 'standard' Fender bridges as there's 4 instead of 5.

EDIT: Neck heel and body neck pocket 62mm.

So here's the list with prices [b]including [/b]postage to mainland UK.

Jazz body (recommend you buy the bridge as well):[b] £[s]40[/s] £30[/b]
High-mass bridge: [b]£10[/b]
[s]Jazz pickups (Alnico 5, 5mm pole pieces, wires soldered but not cut)[b]: £20[/b] [b]£15[/b][/s]
Jazz control plate (with pre-wired pots and knobs): [b]£25[/b]
[s]Jazz pickguard ([b]black [/b]perloid, 10 hole, slightly filed at neck pocket): [b]£6[/b][/s]
Jazz pickguard ([b]white [/b]perloid, 10 hole, new, unfitted but not pictured): [b]£10[/b]
[s]Jazz Neck with string retainer: [b]£30[/b][/s]
[s]Fender neck plate, with screws and plastic backing plate: [b]£6.50[/b][/s]
[s]Bass tuners, generic x 4 (only 3 fitted on bass):[b] £8[/b][/s]


Comes to a total of about £190 but if you want it all (or most of it), I'll send you the whole bass for [b]£160[/b]. Obviously, does not reflect the time and money I put into it but that's the way goes.

Any questions, just ask. Open to sensible offers and trades: currently after upgrades for my Fender precision lyte: EMG P/J pickups and preamp and maybe a lightweight Ibanez.

EDIT: If you buy the whole thing, you get the strings for free! I must be crazy, quick buy it before they take me away!

Pics of the back of the pre-wired control plate.


Can't really tell what the values are of the pots but the volume ones have 'CF' on them.

The capacitor looks like it has '473J' and '100V'.
