Rich Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I love everything about it, except the control plate. It just looks cheap and completely ruins the aesthetics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Heeley Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I see what you mean, the wood is gorgeous but that ctrl plate just leaves it looking unfinished somehow. Needs fretting too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
largo Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Some might disagree about covering that top, but I'd stick a black or tortoishell scratchplate on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was going to have a control plate like that, it should have had a scratch plate. If they weren't going to put one on they should have left the top plain. IMHO.

molan Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I've looked at this a few times and it doesn't look like Martin's best work. I can't imagine him wanting to hack a hole in that beautiful top & then plonking a chromed control plate on top of it! Have to assume it was specced by Paul Turner?

sshorepunk Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 it was one of a pair for PT, I have the fretted Jazz, they were the first J basses that were made by Sei from what I understand T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
