TheGreek Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Generally not a big fan of Jazz basses but this one looks sooo nice - scratchplate and stain match so well.. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fender-Jazz-Bass-/272349747887?hash=item3f694f5aaf:g:8Y8AAOSw65FXuzjb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 That finish is so nice that it makes me wonder why there's still a red tort p/g. It clashes horribly! I don't do Jazz basses, but if it were mine I'd have replaced that with a black p/g or none at all (routing permitting, of course). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemmywinks Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 The Fotoflame is just photgraphic film stuck on the front and not actual wood, they all look fantastic though - as you would expect being a picture of incredible looking wood! More info here: http://xhefriguitars.com/page7.html Although it's a cheap way of getting a fancy flame top they all look stunning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Well why didn't they take a photo of a [i][b]nice [/b][/i]piece of tort then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemmywinks Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Fair point! This one doesn't seem to have the flame on the neck so no hamburglar either! I'd think the Japanese Fenders would have proper routing (seen some shockers on USA stuff), would be nice to see what this one looks like naked so to speak. Always fancied one of these, by all accounts they're super basses as well as being lookers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Pretty sure it will have correct routing. Would look good with a transparent scratchplate, to avoid all the screwholes. In fact the finish & flame remind me of a lovely Moon J someone was selling back in the early days of BC - might even still have been BW back then. That had a transparent scratchplate & maple/dots neck - clearly made a big impression on me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
