TRADED.
Okay, here's the deal. I have a blizzard pearl Jazz bass. It was a 2007, but the neck went bad and Fender sent a replacement neck. The neck says that this is a 2009. That work was done by a professional shop, Mannella Guitars here in Pittsburgh.
After that, I decided to try my hand at some modifications. I installed a thumb rest between the pickups. That is what the single screw hole is from. The control plate was replaced with an Audere JZ-3 preamp. Then I decided to put some Nordstrand DC4 pickups in. This obviously required some routing. The neck slot was almost big enough already, so that was very non-intrusive. The bridge pickup was a bit more of an ordeal. The routing was fairly simple, but you can see a little bit of a wobble on the side closest to the player. The pickguard is also a little "off," so I will include not only a replacement in white, but a Nordstrand Jazz pickup for free.
I have already priced pickup rings from fretsonthenet.com. I will supply these to the new owner, you'll just have to wait since fretsonthenet is down until after the holidays.
Anyway, the bass sounds great and plays very well. I have gotten tons of compliments on the tone. I just happen to find that my 44-01 works better for what we're doing.
I would happily trade this bass for a 44-01, 55-01, a G&L Tribute or something else... Try me.
I would also be interested in amp heads; Aguilar AG500, Mesa, etc.
I would also sell it for $600 Paypalled and shipped.
