Took this in a trade against my Waters PBass.

My Second Geddy - the first was a Black MIJ, this is a Sunburst MIM.

now then, never one to leave things be. I have a spare Jazz Pickguard and must say I’m in a quandary...I wanted to put a montreaux celluloid shell jobbie on it (they’re about £70) but it looks great with the Parchment one (even though it has a truss rod route on it).

help me out...

Haha. I’m sold on parchment, just not with the truss rod notch. Will be putting a wanted ad up shortly

Was going to PMT to pick up some strings, but it’s warm...and I can’t be bothered as we’re out for tea later without the kids so I’m just relaxing.

stuck an order in for some Fender 40-100, tried some Roto 66 Blue/nickel last week on the CS jazz and I can see why I stopped using them.

The Black Pickguard has a lot of play wear on it - odd really as the rest of the bass is unmarked. 

Got some bits to list too before I continue spending.

I’m in no mad ‘Rush’ 🤦🏻‍♂️

Oh well. Boredom got the better of me. Just spent a ridiculous amount on 2 Pickguards.

The Pure Vintage ones had a shallower bevel and look lovely...the shell looks a bit dark really, but it may go on my white jazz if it’s noticeably nicer than the one already on it.

One of these...the bass itself is a Limelight that I commissioned as a replica of the main man's '72 Jazz.  I've got the plain aged white p/g too, but couldn't resist getting the pearloid white one with the amalgamation symbol he has on the US sig basses (with pearloid block markers on the neck).

I’m not a rush fan...and that probably wouldn’t work with Sunburst 🧐

Where's a good source in the EU (or ships to the EU) for Geddy guards? I've a white 3ply on mine but I've always wanted to experiment with a matte black one ply.....

@Bassmingo meet @Cosmo Valdemar

 

👍🏼

If nor...WD Music/Sims. 

@TimAl might do single ply matt, not sure.

The Fender strings didn’t come (a “stock error” amazingly...)

Luckily a mate was on hand and got me some d’addario 40-100 from Dawsons where I worked years ago.

light night and day compared to the Rotos, which are pissing me off; they feel stiff, rough and just don’t suit me at all.

Anyhow, Pickguards are in the post. Can’t wait. Have also got a chrome neck pickup cover on the way.

Set the action today and it’s great, missed that Miller-esque tone...it actually sounds more like a MM Jazz than I remember these doing.

Will be keeping this one. For now 😏
