Thats great; if you'd gone for the RoadWorn Jazz, everyone would have said I was copying you when I get mine!!! ATB! Nick Quote
OutToPlayJazz Posted October 31, 2009 Author Posted October 31, 2009 Well, here's the 75 RI. Very nice bass in mint condition. I've put on a temporary parchment genuine Fender scratch guard while a white pearloid one arrives in the post. Sounded huge on the Rotosound 45's that came on it, jury's out on the Elixir 40's I've put on it for the time being. Quote
Buzz Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 Natural jazz, rosewood with blocks?! Lovely! Quote
OutToPlayJazz Posted November 1, 2009 Author Posted November 1, 2009 Ta Buzz - It's certainly a nice one. The neck is dotted with birdseye patterns & being ash bodied it's a lot more polite sounding than my American Standard. Almost more cultured and less in your face, as it were. This one may be the ideal candidate for some Nordstrand pickups & definitely a bridge upgrade. Quote
BassBus Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 Nice find, Rich. Just good clean, simple lines. What is it you don't like about the Elixirs? Quote
OutToPlayJazz Posted November 1, 2009 Author Posted November 1, 2009 (edited) Hi Graham, I think it's mainly that they rob the bass of some of it's thicker tone. Similar guage lighter DR Fatbeams don't seem to do that, especially on my 09 Am.Std. Jazz. May have to try a set on the 75 RI soon. Edited November 1, 2009 by OutToPlayJazz Quote
cd_david Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 (edited) Its a beauty Rich, Im a sucker for block necks, I upgraded my Geddy with [url="http://www.fender.com/products//search.php?partno=0013187000"]these[/url] ATB Dave Edited November 1, 2009 by cd_david Quote

OutToPlayJazz Posted November 1, 2009 Author Posted November 1, 2009 Hey Martin, I was thinking Badass II, but there's none anywhere in the country. I think Leo Quan has gone bust or something. I found a supplier of the new Fender hi-mass bridge, same as I've got on my 09 Jazz & it looks like it'd fit, the three holes coinciding with the three central holes (out of 5) on the Jap Jazz. Apart from that, it's a Gotoh 201, I guess. Quote
Musicman20 Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 The 75 Reissue ...mmm! That and the 62 P Reissue are the main areas of GAS for me. Quote
