This one is lovely, just like my CS jazz. Slim but round, bit of depth to it (my CS is 64 width with 75p depth...) Debating what to do - there’s a potential trade in the offing for a Lakland, but if it doesn’t happen, keep and refin is an option. Can’t deal with how black it is. Quote
2elliot Posted December 20, 2019 Posted December 20, 2019 Sounds like my old Thumb neck. Could be tempted. Quote

AndyTravis Posted December 22, 2019 Author Posted December 22, 2019 I’ve messed about with the jack socket as much as I can stand. It’s been fine for a couple of days after being cleaned out; it’s gone crackly again. Ordered a Neutrik replacement. Also, the action was great, but I felt it was a little high at the bridge end, so without much travel on the saddles left, I added a small neck end shim just to give me the option. Holy crapola - this thing plays amazingly well... Quote
Pea Turgh Posted December 22, 2019 Posted December 22, 2019 It’s a nice looking bass, but it doesn’t match the fantastic colours of the rest of your collection - I’m coming around to the idea of a respray!! 🤣 Quote

AndyTravis Posted December 22, 2019 Author Posted December 22, 2019 Maybe ocean turquoise. Keep it fairly dark but still a bit of colour... 1 Quote
AndyTravis Posted December 23, 2019 Author Posted December 23, 2019 This thing plays brilliantly. I can’t put it down... when I get this jack socket fitted...I’m going to be in a right bind...it’s time to have a think... 1 Quote
Raslee Posted December 23, 2019 Posted December 23, 2019 Nice colour! I’ve been watching your thread with interest as I have a passive 87’ Fender Jazz Special (The one that G N R Duff uses). They’re superbly made basses and like you say they really do play brilliant 😊 Quote
BreadBin Posted December 23, 2019 Posted December 23, 2019 I have a really early (A-serial number, non-export model) passive version. That thankfully (for me) has a 42mm nut as I hate Jazz profile necks. Just something to watch out for, they're not all the same 👍 Quote
Pea Turgh Posted December 23, 2019 Posted December 23, 2019 @AndyTravis what about a simple scratch plate change? And/or chrome hardware? Quote
Pea Turgh Posted December 23, 2019 Posted December 23, 2019 Gold anodized to match the headstock decal! Quote
Paul S Posted December 23, 2019 Posted December 23, 2019 Noooooooooooooo! Leave it as it is and either grow to love it or sell it to someone who likes it as it is! Quote
