Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Is it designed to be played by the producer or another band member while the bass player is away shooting up somewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adee Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 (edited) Why bother buying a new 'Duff' model when you can get a real deal 80's Jazz Special for about £300 ! even better stick a pair of Seymour Duncan 1/4lbr's in and you've got a cracking bass ! I'm sure Zoe will tell you about her's Edited November 8, 2007 by Adee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tait Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 i saw duff with his new signature model at a signing at the NEC, but thats all. looks cool on the fender site, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine's a 1989 Jazz Bass Special - and does the 'Duff' sound with all the dirt and vigour you'd expect ;o) .. thing mine was around the same price off ebay too Zoe!

Tee Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 (edited) Nice, in white too of course. I was always wondering when he'd get a sig model. I'm guessing they're US made?

Dood Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Zoe, the headstock doesnt look right to me.. is it different shaped tuning keys to the jap ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoe_BillySheehan Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 im not sure dood, i just compared mine with the pic and i think its just about the same. I think ive got a slightly old Jazz Special than most.. cause all the other ive seen had the painted black neck does yours? Zo xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 There's one advertised on gumtree at the mo: [url="http://www.gumtree.com/london/41/15828541.html"][url="http://www.gumtree.com/london/41/15828541.html"]http://www.gumtree.com/london/41/15828541.html[/url][/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJA Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 (edited) that one on Gumtree's a US Precision Plus Deluxe. edit- actually that's a weird one- it's got the US P plus deluxe active eq, but 20 frets and standard bridge, and standard exposed pole pickups- the Plus Deluxe had 22frets, Lace Sensor pickups and a heavy cast bridge. it looks like cross between that and the later Mex precision special.

Zo xx[/quote] Mines a natural neck too.. no actually, I can see what the difference is. I think the tuning keys are a different shape. Not so tall. Not that its a problem.. just doesnt look quite as right to my eye. Bit like the export and non export CIJ basses that come with different keys (From Ishibashi for example) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
