Old Horse Murphy Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 So I have a lovely Fender Japan Jazz unlined fretless currently wearing a set of EMG active Jazz pickups. I love everything about the bass apart from it weighs around 9 and a half pounds. As a result I've decided to find another body for it. While I'm searching however, I thought I'd see if there were any P Bass bodies that were routed for Jazz bass pickups: not PJ but JJ. I know there are companies such as Warmoth who could do this, but to avoid unplanned charges etc. I thought I'd see if there are any that could be sourced in the UK. Any ideas would be gratefully received. I'm not looking to spend a fortune, but a nice lightweight ash or alder one would be my preference. I'm not interested in blanks that could be routed as I don't have the tools or the talent to do it myself! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassApprentice Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 This site was suggested in another thread https://guitarandbassbuilds.com/ £110 for a custom routed body seems pretty reasonable! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NancyJohnson Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 I've never been a big Fender fan guitarwise, but the prospect of customising a Telemaster body, for a single humbucker and a volume control, just makes me go wobbly. Left handed neck on it, yummy. Might be a project for next winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
