Mine is one of those "Vintage" brand "Icon" basses, with the maple fretboard. All Wilkinson hardware... Loving it so far! It's so fast to play... all growly and very toppy sounding at the moment... perhaps that's because my amp is set to maximum funk mode!! 😁 Edited January 12, 2019 by Ricky 4000 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pics or it didn't happen! Mine - early b-day present from Mrs Teebs: Squier Jazz 70s mod. Easy to play neck, some nice tones, fab finish for the pennies. Just need to get a white pearl scratchplate & job done! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus you've got black binding and blocks. But it ain't my bass is it Guv'nor, so whatever makes ya sun shine Sunshine 😊 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've modded mine a bit with new pickups , wiring loom and bridge, but even as stock it was a damn fine playing and sounding Jazz Bass. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shall be modding mine in due course - bridge, scratchplate, but I quite like the stock tone. So far only new design Schaller strap locks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cato Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 (edited) This is mine. Apologies for the dodgy pictures (I was standing on the bed trying to get as much of the bass into the frame as possible - not the most stable platform) I actually think, visually at least, that swapping the stock metal knobs for classic black plastic ones may be the favourite mod that I made.

(I'd keep the black plate too, but there's nothing wrong with having a couple in different colours). 😎 I wouldn't have chosen the "battlefield" finish for my J, but second hand choices are more limited. So I now have a false P and a false J for less than 200 quid for the pair... just need some orange paint now! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'll put some stickers on it! 👍 What I should do is sand the bugger down and Danish oil the body, but I'm having too much fun slapping the fosters out of it for now. 😁 edit: haha, when I type "fosters" the swear filter changes it to fosters. 😁 edit edit: Buggery is much more rude than just doing a wee. 😪 Edited January 12, 2019 by Ricky 4000 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teebs Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 (edited) Naaah, the bass is cool you'll wear it in & it'll be ace! You do know that slapping is the work of the devil 👿? A deviance.

Frank Blank Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 3 hours ago, Ricky 4000 said: I wonder, Frank - Did you go for the instant gratification of playing the verse riff down by the nut, or the long game of playing it properly at the 7th fret? 😁 Oddly enough for me I did start off playing it down by the nut (I play higher up the neck usually) but my tutor soon had me up on the 7th! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
