budget bassist Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 nice one quite pretty that, i love the maple necks with binding and pearl blocks, if that body was a 3 tone sunburst i'd be all over it! Not sure that bridge is original though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lozbass Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Gorgeous! It's amazing how well the chrome stands up on mid '70s Jazzers. My '76 is almost identical to the one in the images apart from very heavy gig and playwear on the body - the chrome work, however, looks almost new.

Sibob Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 You wanna get someone to re-cut those notches on the badass....you're wasting half the outside edges of the fingerboard lol Looks nice though! Is it heavy? I'm going for a bit fat YES Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutToPlayJazz Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Magnificent build, James. Must've taken you a long time to source all of the genuine Fender bits! Rich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james Posted August 15, 2009 Author Share Posted August 15, 2009 No one of the lightest basses I have less than 9lbs. I have an original Fender bridge to be fitted.( the Bad ass has not been cut yet) [quote name='Sibob' post='569846' date='Aug 15 2009, 12:30 PM']You wanna get someone to re-cut those notches on the badass....you're wasting half the outside edges of the fingerboard lol Looks nice though!

Sibob Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Wow you blew my post out of the water with your positivity missile lol Very cool, always nice when you find a mid-late 70's body that isn't the weight of a cargo-ship anchor!!

Platypus Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 (edited) Great looking jazz bass you have there James - how long did it take you to source all the parts. Oh, and did you get any duff bits along the way? Edited August 15, 2009 by Platypus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james Posted August 23, 2009 Author Share Posted August 23, 2009 Its been a long term project got the neck about 3 years ago then it took a back seat until I found the body about six months ago. No all the parts have been fine, been outbid on a few things though!![quote name='Platypus' post='570022' date='Aug 15 2009, 04:04 PM']Great looking jazz bass you have there James - how long did it take you to source all the parts.
