Here's a direct link to Cairobill's video of the bass [url="http://www.youtube.com/sharkpuss#p/u/1/jUeiAy1pu3w"]http://www.youtube.com/sharkpuss#p/u/1/jUeiAy1pu3w[/url]

PS, cash only, no trades please

No, Cairobill had it with medium-ish gauge roundwounds on (black silks, not sure what that makes them). I still have those strings in a bag and can throw in with the sale, no problems.

Bump with a few more details

The following blurb comes from the Nash website on the JB-63:

"Available in either alder or ash bodies and with maple or rosewood necks [I am not sure which wood this is, I am guessing alder]. Default pickups are DiMarzio Model Ps, but other pickups are available as well. Necks have medium large frets, a 10 radius on the fretboard and available in medium C only."

I have measured the neck dimensions to illustrate the C-shaped neck and they come out as follows:

width at nut: ~37mm
depth (thumb to board) between nut and 1st fret: 20mm
depth at 12th fret: 25mm
PS, string action at 12th fret: 2.5mm

Only 24 hours and relegated to third page of FS forum - boy there's a lot for sale right now!

I've got the Dimarzio UltraJazzes in one of my......well.....Jazzes lol
They're fantastic pickups, and pending them sounding how I want them to in standard tuning (that bass has been in Drop tuning for a while), I'll put a set in my '73 too!

Have a bump Clarky, what 70's jazz have you found? :)

Hi Si, this one (have secured a vintage 70s bridge to replace ugly Schaller and am putting in Wizard 84 pickups in it, at least until I find a reasonably priced vintage 70s set of p/ups)

PS thanks CB for update on the body wood

Been-a-couple-of-days type bump :)

I would really recommend anyone look at the Youtube video clip as it shows you how the bass looks, how it sounds and how it plays in the hands of a decent bass player (Cairobill, not me!):

[quote name='Cairobill' post='706017' date='Jan 8 2010, 08:51 PM']And here's a bit of the bass pure DI'd in the clip I put up when I sold it to Richardd. It has super thick tone, that's for sure - the neck isn't a slim one, maybe that's why it sounds better? Interesting...

Is that you playing Clarky's Nash, Cairo? Nice Jaco tones, mate! I didn't think those DiMArzios would sound like that!

Yeah, I had another guy enquire by pm as to why the bass sounded so dark. I tend to roll off most of the tone knob to get that sound. The Nash is capable of lot of twang though!
