Prosebass Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 (edited) Decided to put this together to see how it sounded and what Erno Zwaan (of Q-Tuner fame) thought of it. He quite liked the overall look and will hopefully be putting it in his gallery. It has a sound of its own , very lively and sounds more like an active set-up. One of the problems with the Q-Tuners is the 2 month wait for them seeing as they are handmade. I do have another pickup and was thinking of using a MM fretless ebanol neck on another black body. The pickup will be mounted in the bridge position and no scratch-plate or control bell plate. This one is for sale at £225.00 the fretless will be a little more. PM if interested for the full spec and more photos. Edited March 3, 2009 by Prosebass Quote

Buzz Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 It's not really a jazz though is it? It's more like a p due to the placement of the pup in the middle. Still, I'd be interested to know how it sounds. Quote

If I had called it a precision someone would have pulled me up on the fact its got a "Jazz" body.... In fact its neither as the parts are not from Fender, so its a "Jazz" style I suppose...with a better pup than anything Fender have produced..... if Carlsberg made pickups.......... Quote

I've heard sound clips of £1000 basses sounding like a Jedson from the 70's , or maybe it did.....? Quote
