LeftyJ Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 I'm guessing Custom Shop 1966RI? Lovely basses, all of them! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnR Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Time for me to share. Left to right: MTD Kingston 6 string. My frankenbass which has been customised beyond recognition. USA Barts and a Mike Pope preamp with Hipshot hardware. Pickups have been moved into several positions over the years, the router is now my best friend. I installed the luminlays myself which was tense fun. ACG Recurve. Beautiful beyond words. I went for a completely flat radius and the fingerboard and it is hilariously easy to play. Fender American Professional II Jazz. PLEK'd by Peach Guitars. Babicz bridge, highly recommended. John East preamp. Ramp from Luca Merlatti at Finger Ramp. I also have a set of Nordstrand Big Bladed waiting to be installed. Fitted with flats which give this bass a very distinctive character. Hohner B2A. New EMG pickups and preamp make this bass great. Jimmy Egypt did some fretwork and it plays beautifully. I'm very happy with the way the basses all complement each other with little overlap of tone. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeftyJ Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 I had one too and loved it, but I much preferred the active tone. Mine sounded dark and dull when switched to passive. It had the regular Hohner-labelled Select by EMG pickups. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnR Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 I replaced the preamp and pickups with full fat EMG ones. EMG were nice enough to send me a proper left-handed preamp from the USA. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like my Schecter dUg. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers hope your well👍 still got that Jazz great Bass has a really nice slap tone for a passive I actually have another MIJ with rosewood fingerboard that I've had for quite a few years I have a love hate relationship with 4 string Jazz Basses And mainly play 5 string so ordered the overwater last year The build quality is amazing and plays great it has the extended neck so playing the B string on the higher frets isn't a problem 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Front, l. to r.: Right-handed [b]Kingston[/b], strung left-handed; 1977 [b]Fender Precision[/b]; 1999 Mexican [b]Fender Jazz[/b] (since sold); 2010 or so - [b]Hofner V62[/b] reissue; 2007 or so - [b]Indie[/b] custom finish electro-acoustic (32" scale); 1987 [b]Hofner 187 "Shorty"[/b] travel bass (one of only a handful known to exist; 28" scale). Here's what I replaced the Mexican Jazz with: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v30/mcarp555/PS5UG/DSCN7167A_zps0c3203b6.jpg [b]1967 Fender Jazz[/b], w/bound neck, block inlays & lollipop tuners. Non-original pickups. And as seen in the [i]Reviews[/i] section, the [b]Gaskell Thunderbass [/b](2013): http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v30/mcarp555/Guitars/DSCN7474A_zpsa96d00ce.jpg Wow! You have a similar story to me. My first Bass (I'm a lefty) was a '78 Fender P, and I didn't replace my Mexican Jazz but bought a '68 Jazz on which I replaced the cream pick guard with a tortoiseshell pickguard.

It's a nice bass, I love the preamp on these. I gigged it the same week I got it, I think. Its very comfortable to play. Still doesn't beat the Stingray though.

I'm thrilled they finally made a production run of the Casady model. Would have been all over it 10 or 15 years ago, but I can't bring myself to buy any more instruments.

uk_lefty Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 It's a lovely bass. Fantastic old school tone with flats on it. I've developed a bit of a thing for Epiphone now. I sold off my acoustic guitar and telecaster and acquired this to keep the jack Casady company... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent 00Soul Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Jefferson Airplane did indeed use a lot of hollow & semi-hollows between their Guild Starfires, ES-345s, and Rick 360-12s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
