How funky is your Jazz Bass?

[Grand Wazoo]

You know, this is still my no.1 Jazz Bass, it's a Squier Classic Vibe, souped up with Seymour Duncan stacked humbuckers, totally noise free when each p/u is played single. All wiring and pots been replaced with original Fender CTS and waxed cloth wire, it was a labour of love and I take it everywhere, this week I took it with me to work on my ship, together with the Tascam Bass trainer so I can practice along. I've compared this bass to an MIM and a 90's MIA and it's still came tops and I am very selective when I do comparison, the neck just plays itself and the basswood body together with those pickups just give it an amazing sound.

Oh yeah and it was "mooo'd up" by me

here is a slideshow of it in my ship cabin at work

Believe me it is getting played, I got rid of all the other Jazz! In fact, soon enough it will start to show some "road worn" sings too.

I wonder how long it will be before you moove it on.

I'll get my coat.

[geoffbassist]

Wow!

[Stu-khag]

[Al Heeley]

That is so cool - I think I need to make me a leopardskin furry jb now a la ZZ Top

Mine's actually currently for sale, but it's called a "Funkmeister." I suppose you could say it's in the name, really...

Nice one Waz... God I love Jazzers... if I had the spondies I'd buy a CV Jazz for a replica project and a burst RW Jazz... I already have a 62 fretless.!

[Davo-London]

It is truly wonderful and I don't know how you can sell it!

Using a Squier for this type of project is a great idea.

I would love to have a go at that. Maybe my daughter will one day play bass and I can customise one for her ...

I am glad you like it, I am not planning to sell it anytime soon as it is a real good player, but even if I get fed up with the moo looks I can always reverse it back to natural as it is not painted, those black blotches are cut outs from an easy-peel transfers similar to those used to protect small screens. The pickguard can also be swapped with the original and the pickup covers and control knobs are spares, the original are in a tidy box at home.

Udderley fantastic :-)

[binkybongo]

thank goodness for tidy boxes.

[Legion]

Bet it sounds well beefy...

Now that's a bass you can really cownt on. Good mod as well, lucky you didn't burger it up in the process.

Thank you.

If cow = funky, then you have the funkiest bass I have ever seen.

[LeftyJ]

I admit it: I will never be as funky as that, nor will my Jazz!

[OldGit]

So cool it's Friesian

Shake that funky thing

[dougal]

It's sure get me in the moo-d for funk.

I'm sure you can really leather it when the steaks are down.
