Jack_Stroud_Bass Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 NYE - NBD! It’s an 08 USA Fender Jazz standard bought privately from a lovely chap in Cheltenham today, following all the normal social distancing guidelines of course. I’ve had it a few hours, made some adjustments to the neck and saddles to lower the action, but it’s a lovely piece and a great first jazz bass. Holy trinity now competed! J-bass, P-bass and Stingray, so chuffed! I’m a very lucky bloke indeed. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack_Stroud_Bass Posted December 31, 2020 Author Share Posted December 31, 2020 Hey Reggaebass thanks! It does not have it no. The bass is completely passive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Great colour scheme, looks so right on a Jazz 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_Stroud_Bass Posted December 31, 2020 Author Share Posted December 31, 2020 Thanks @Lozz196. Yes I agree. Some colour combos just work on Fenders I think, this being one of them. Sunburst / Tort, Black / Black / Maple another... oh and one of my faves is a natural finish with maple fretboard and block inlays... one day! Interestingly the original pick guard (which I have with it) was white, but I think it looks much better as it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raymondo Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Looks fabulous Jack. Not sure if you got the comment on the video link but the Stingray sounded awesome on the Sub rooms gig! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_Stroud_Bass Posted December 31, 2020 Author Share Posted December 31, 2020 Cheers @Raymondo I didn’t see that no- thank you though! It was nice to use it again. It’s got flats on it at the moment so lent itself well to the style I think! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebenezer Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 lovely bass!....this is when fender started using thinner poly finish which resulted in a more resonant tone....enjoy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
