[sshorepunk]

Afternoon

its been a. While since I did a NBD thread!

Been waiting for this for a while as they don’t come up for sale too often

 

Fender AVRI 75 jazz 

 

5 1/2 hr round trip this morning to collect this, well worth it

Owned from new by previous owner and looks like it just came out of the factory, all covers included as is the original bridge

serial number dates it to 2005 

 

 

Currently sat in my lounge whilst the trusts settles down

Dang that's pretty. Natural with blocks is one of my favourite colour schemes for a Jazz. Great grain on this one too. Congratulations!

Really liking this, not had a maple board on a bass for around 20 years

Nice looking bass but get that stock bridge back on!

Disagree, I really enjoy it on mine. I noticed slightly tighter (and, in fact, weaker) lows and a minor increase in brightness that I love. It won't be an improvement to everybody, but it was to me

Stick with the bigger bridge - I think Jazz basses looks more balanced with a larger bridge.

Bridge is staying!

I know the original is correct for year but the badass is a good change in this bass and something I’ve done in the past

Back in 1975 adding a Badass to your Jazz Bass was a state-of-the-art upgrade. Badass stays!

I bought one of these brand new from Guitar Guitar I think back in 2012 for £1199. The thinnest most comfortable neck on any Jazz bass ever. It sounded great with the stock bridge.

Nice! Glad you managed to find one in the end. 
 

Likewise here. My first proper bass was a maple neck jazz but after that I’ve played rosewood exclusively. Recently bought a P with a maple neck and love the crispness in the attack with rounds on. Can totally see why people end up with huge collections of various permutations.
