Basscabman Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 (edited) Picked this up yesterday, ICS serial says a FSR? Who knows.. 2013 and In mint condition. It just a little gem! Lightest Jazz I've ever owned, soft maple body In dark amber. It plays superbly, really low action, no sharp frets. Got a new loom, bone nut and standard jazz control knobs on the way. May stick In a set of pickups too. Anyone else got one of these and did you do any upgrades? Quarter pounders or Antiquity's? Or what? Want the growl of a jazz with a bit more bottom end... Well happy with It. It plays better than my MIM Jazz and CV Jazz! Edited April 1, 2019 by Basscabman 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky 4000 Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 (edited) Nice! Very 1970s. 👌 I like those knobs. They're nicer than the silver ones as seen on many Squiers. 👍 Edited April 2, 2019 by Ricky 4000 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gary mac Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 The stock pick ups aren't bad but I put a set of Wizard 64s in the one I had, really added to the oomph 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
von Braun Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 I have one in black, with black blocks and binding I bought on here years ago. I stuck a pair of SD quarter-pounders on it to start with but wasn't getting enough bite from the bridge, so swapped that out for a Tone-rider which gave me what I wanted, the output from the SD in the neck position and the Tone-rider is pretty balanced. I also swapped out the original BBOT bridge and tuners for some Wilko parts (the Wilko tuners are surprisingly good) in black and stuck a KioGon volume-blend-tone loom on it. I love it. Popped it into Hobgoblin in Southampton for a set up last autumn and they liked it a lot. Great value for money, hang on to it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basscabman Posted April 7, 2019 Author Share Posted April 7, 2019 I've stuck a new loom In it with CTS pots and a bone nut. It really plays well and weighs under 8lb! The pickups with the new loom seem fine to me. Tuners I hate so will change them. Deffo keeper for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
