Cat Burrito Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Black would be my choice. Just classic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basshead56 Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 maybe a tad old-fashioned, but what about a nice 3ply black one? I reckon the gold would look a wee bit weird. or if you wanna make it look dead-flash, what about a mirror one? Would love a walnut jazz actually. What year/edition is it?

gafbass02 Posted December 1, 2009 Author Share Posted December 1, 2009 It's the cij jb-62 wal but just the body off reliable fender going for a black n gold/brass thang. The neck will be a squier for now till I can afford a nice one. (or till I've paniced and flogged it to get cash back ) having looked at the pics it looks like it has an internal bridge earth route unlike most 62ri's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MythSte Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Leave it without and put gold screws in the screw holes so you have a nice classy outline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTUK Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 If the grain of the wood is pretty visual and attractive, then a clear plate, for me. If not, then probably black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lfalex v1.1 Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 +1 on black. Not sure whether it'd be single-ply or b/w/b, though. What colour's the hardware? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gafbass02 Posted December 2, 2009 Author Share Posted December 2, 2009 The hardware is prob gonna be black n gold I reckon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutToPlayJazz Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Transparent perspex sounds good to me. Would look cool like a Bacchus J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickH Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Let's have a piccy of the bass then, so we can see the bit of walnut in question! I love my natural finish walnut Status with black hardware. It's a gorgeoud wood, so unless you got a nasty bit I'd say show as much as possible with a see-thru guard or none at all.

I removed the p\g off of my '62 Jazz (brown tort!) and now it wont fit back on! I know with some jazzers there's a routing channel that makes this not an option.

gafbass02 Posted December 3, 2009 Author Share Posted December 3, 2009 It's just the eBay pics of the body at the mo, I'll stick em up when I get home from work. Whatever I pick is gona have to wait anyway cause I'm skint so it's gonna be guardless for a while anyway just hope it all fits together ok!

NickH Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 The screw holes are really obvious, so it's going to need something in there. +1 to transparent guard definitely. Lovely bit of wood that, bet it makes a sexyful bass, keep us up to date? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
