Annoying Twit Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 These are el-cheapo basses. But, I do like the look of these Jazzes. I prefer the natural ones a bit more, but the solid colour ones are a bit less like those already easily available elsewhere. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/J-D-JB-Vintage-1975-Bass-Guitar-Surf-Green-Reference-201561-/251382796640?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item3a87951160 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderbird Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 I know but from where I come from a Jack and Danny means something else so the name puts me off for starters lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rapscallion Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Look very similar to the Probass Geddy Lee type that were around a few years ago. Weren't bad basses actually, though the blocks were stick on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karlfer Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Don't know how anyone can just guess without trying them Sea foam green is very tempting as a paint job would be over £200 and Fender don't seem to be able to mix that colour any more. Tempting to buy just for the body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
