Moos3h Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 (edited) Hi all, Bought this earlier in the week, but simply cannot make the transition between the necks on this and my Jazz - have now got a Fretless Jazz which will use as my backup (once back from the repairer!) The following is stolen without permission from OldGit's writeup. I've done nothing to the Bass beyond a quick clean, some Fast Fret and played it a bit! This is an SX/Noname '62 Sunburst / Tortoise / Rosewood Precision copy The cavity has been fully lined with copper. The scratchplate has been foil backed. It's eerily quiet for a P bass The basswood (I assume) body is unmarked and has a fine sunburst and deep gloss finish. Pickup is a Wizard Thumper with CTS Pots, Switchcraft Jack and Sprague capacitor. All wiring is in vintage cloth covered wire and the pot/capacitor values were decided upon after a chat with Andy at Wizard pickups. The bridge has been replaced with a Wilkinson Vintage bridge with Brass Saddles. New string tree and Fecker transfer, (lacquered over) it has a really nice neck, plays and sounds just great, fools the unknowing and gives the knowledgeable a laugh. It has Glowdotz side markers ('cos I just can't see those tiddly things Fender and SX use ) They are white but will glow in the dark if you shine a light on them first It's got new Trace Elliot light gauge strings with lovely green cotton windings. Now on ebay. Collection is fine too but would have to be this weekends only at the moment. Likewise, postage would be done on a weekend only Pictures, for they speak a thousand words: Cheers, James Edited August 9, 2009 by Moos3h Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moos3h Posted August 9, 2009 Author Share Posted August 9, 2009 (edited) Oh and I meant to say, in the event that this goes for more than I paid for it (after ebay fees are taken out) then I'll donate the difference to Basschat, shouldn't be profiteering going on here! Will liase with the admins and OldGit to ensure all stays fair Cheers, James Edited August 9, 2009 by Moos3h Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
