theyellowcar Posted April 13, 2014 Posted April 13, 2014 Don't these look lovely! If my Jazz is anything to go by these will be decent basses. Just a shame they don't have maple fretboards! http://www.dv247.com/guitars/jandd-pb-vintage-1963-4-string-bass-guitar-fiesta-red--208552 http://www.dv247.com/guitars/jandd-pb-vintage-1963-4-string-bass-guitar-vintage-white--208551 http://www.dv247.com/guitars/jandd-pb-vintage-1963-4-string-bass-guitar-black--208553 Quote
tom1946 Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 I'm REALLY glad they don't have maple boards I'd have to buy one if they did Quote

Captain Codpiece Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 I'm with tom like..... If those were maple I'd be on that white one like dog poo on an 80's street Quote
hamfist Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 Does anyone know if these J&D basses will take a standard Fender replacement neck ? If not, could someone measure their J&D bass's maximum neck heel width please. Quote
yondergo Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 Yeah, this could help me justify buying one for my pet jazz neck... Measure away! Quote

[/quote] Ah OK. However, the P's linked to in the OP certainly still have 20 frets. The neck heel width certainly is a bit of info I would like to know. Quote
bigsmokebass Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 They're ok I guess for £120 but not something I'll be looking to pick up any time soon Didn't J&D make ibanez SR looking basses? Quote
lee4 Posted April 18, 2014 Posted April 18, 2014 Aaargh!!!! Stop giving me GAS,you shameless cheap bass swines! Quote
