sblueplanet Posted June 27, 2014 Author Share Posted June 27, 2014 Just got my MIJ jazz back from paint. Not sure which look I prefer. Was white but after a little accident with some paint stripper I decided on a refin. Had all the holes filled in case I decide to use it minus the eye candy.

throwoff Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 In fact, how much you want for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeftyJ Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 I don't like the tort, it's much too red to my liking. Would probably prefer it clean, or with a black 3-ply. I always think that little white line adds some class . I love it on my '75 RI, very luxurious (especially with the B&B neck). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sblueplanet Posted July 3, 2014 Author Share Posted July 3, 2014 Gorgeous 75RI you have there LeftyJ. I tried the darker tort guard from my other jazz on the bass and it looked good but I'll keep it plain for a bit. Still to show it assembled to the guy who painted it.

Subbeh Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 That 75RI is just about Jazz perfection, had my eye on one at Ishibashi, beautiful looking bass, would be drooling over it even withnout the b&b neck which just makes it look amazing [size=4] .[/size] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blablas Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 (edited) My second F(ake)ender Jazz Bass V. As it came out of the box 2 months ago. And after all the modifications. It took a while because some parts I needed were not in stock at the shop where ordered them. What I've done to it: - Aligned the tuners. - Aligned the neck. - Widened the string spacing at the bridge. - Made a new pickguard. - replaced the electronics, with stacked knob controls. - (Hidden) proper grounding and shielding. Made two new saddles for E and D strings, they are 3 millimeters wider than the stock ones, 1.5 millimeters on each side, this gives a string spacing of 17.5 millimeters over each string, exactly what I prefer. It's quick and dirty, bur works and once the cover is over the bridge no one will see it. Edited October 13, 2017 by blablas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blablas Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 (edited) And the final modification is in place, a tort pickguard. The gold colored one was not bad but this is what I had in mind when I started working on it. Edited October 13, 2017 by blablas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
