goblin Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 (edited) Well after selling my 4 string fretted Corvette I realised it may have been a mistake to get rid a 4 string. 5 isn't always the way forward and a 4 is a lot easier to teach on. So had a scan around with the intention to build, and decided to have a look at the cost of Japanese built Jazzes from the 80s / 90s...and I ended up stumbling across this beauty: [url="http://s88.photobucket.com/user/goblin92/media/Basses/E0EB0B9A-DBEC-431D-AB3F-3D0287F58F28-6974-00000358F1A20188_zps297acf19.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s88.photobucket.com/user/goblin92/media/Basses/4978DB5C-FC55-45EC-A4F9-2D5CB81D3919-6974-00000358FDCB6AB2_zps8f639fd1.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s88.photobucket.com/user/goblin92/media/Basses/4FDA320B-5094-49D4-A8D9-A4CA8D80EE12-6974-00000358E7454CFE_zps82e39724.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s88.photobucket.com/user/goblin92/media/Basses/46C5585B-4960-48ED-931D-E0D0AB378F47-6974-00000358DDC62F48_zpsc2c01e6c.jpg.html"][/url] Built in the 80s in the Matsumoko plant, not sure if it's Fender or not, but given where it was built, the quality is all that of an American Fender so I'm not really fussed. It's only got one or two marks on it, it looks great and it sounds fantastic, although I'm not really struck on the Rotosound Nexus strings it came with.
