custom Jazz

[Joebethell]

Bit of an odd one this and a hefty price to go with it.

If Billy Sheehan had used a Jazz instead?

[Joebethell]

Billy would know better! 62 jazz refin and refret with some major mods plus the neck joint gap looks pretty poor all yours for 6grand!

Well, if I really, really wanted a YOB bass - it wouldn't be that one.

It's a bit of a bodgefest - and I cannot help wondering why a Mudbucker that's apparently been there since 1969 is so much cleaner & shinier than any other bit of metal on the bass.

I saw this a few weeks ago - this caught my eye...I could only count 4 knobs.

The fifth knob is on the lower horn.

Traditionally the other knob is behind the bass

ouch. I thought there was one more, further back, behind the kit?

People have been dragged out onto the street and publicly flogged for doing less than that.

I don't see what the problem is. I suspect at the time if you needed a bass that would cover both Fender and Gibson tones this was the cheapest and most convenient way of doing it. Besides there was nothing special about the bass just another Fender.
