mr zed Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 I used to own (and regret selling) a Fender USA deluxe Jazz - Pre 2010 with the downsized body. Sadowsky also do a Jazz with the smaller body than a regular Jazz. Are there any other manufacturers producing these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeftyJ Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Warmoth still produces a (replacement) body in the old USA Deluxe style with the smaller body which might fit a Fender neck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ead Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 The Sandberg California II is smaller than a regular Fender J as well. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggaebass Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Not sure if you would call it a jazz but the body on my Sandberg TT, is definitely smaller than my jazzes especially around the lower horn for easier access to the higher frets (not that I get that high 😁) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drax Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Overwater Scott Devine J bass has a reduced body, and 33 scale. Not cheap though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

therealting Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 The Warmoth Dinky J is very similar to the Sadowsky body size. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itu Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 I remember this Prince bassist Rhonda (Smith?) having a smaller sized body on her bass. But I do not recall the manufacturer, could have been some luthier. A call to some local wood magician could be in order? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if he isn’t, burn him anyway! (in true monty python style) - this talk of “higher frets” is clearly a figment of a very deluded mind.

That just redirects to the Warmoth front page for me. No worries, I know the one you mean. I still like the Dinky J though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandberg in particular would be where I'd be looking at. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
