kevbass Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Here she is, an early 90's vester jazz bass copy. Sunburst with a tort plate, body is probbably some kind of ply. Got it for 145 quid which isnt bad i suppose considering the last one I saw went for nearly 200. I bought it because ive just joined a cover band covering all kinds of music and whats more versatile than a jazz bass? I'll let you all know the verdict when she shows up and Ive had a chance to play her, first thing is first though I'm going to give that fretboard a good going over with some tung or lemon oil to get some colour back in it.

lemmywinks Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Good score, that's a nice looking bass. Keep meaning to get a tortie scratchplate for my Aria Jazz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary mac Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 That looks damn fine. If it's a keeper are you planning any upgrades? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some gotoh tuners that, if they fit, I'll probbably put on, the bridge I'll replace with a fender us bridge and if the pickups arent all that then I'll put in some Lindy Fralins.
