KILLER FENDER FRANKENJAZZ 62 RI P NECK + VINTAGE JAZZ BODY

[poman]

I have just assembled a bass that turned out killer. This is a BIG sounding jazz and the neck pocket perfectly fit like a glove. I love this bass, but have two other vintage jazz basses and just can't afford to keep her. Here are the details:

Neck&Electronics:
2001 AVRI PRECISION neck, the wide and flat p neck everyone loves, has some nice subtle flame on the back. All hardware from a road worn P, basically same quality as fender CS. Custom Shop pick-ups, control plate, knobs, and wiring . Fender 62 reissue pickguard with a few coats of tinted nitro.

Body:
The body is a very early 1970's/late 1960's natural finish on (alder I think)wood. The original finish under the pick guard is still glossy and beautiful. The original owner, in the early 80's had routed a hole through the body between the control plate and the bridge to install a pre-amp. Some years later, the preamp and active electronics were removed and the body cavity was filled. It has a Fender vintage reissue bridge. The bass comes with a nonoriginal vintage case in good shape.

For the money..you won't beat this one...it's a great player for someone.

I have been ask about trades...I won't say no to a trade, but it will need to be something special (I will listen to offers though).

What does she weigh?

What is the nut width?

[poman]

I'm on the road, so I won't be able to answer for sure until monday evening, but she weighs anywhere from 9 to 9.5 would be my guess. The width feels like my CS 62 I used to own (although I don't know what that is)...thanks!

ack! haha. what happened to the neck that was on this? this bass had quite the thread!

[poman]

I matched the neck with a mid-sixties body (as the Lord intended)and it's unreal. The thing is...with the other neck, it had gaps in the pocket and really didn't fit that well (although it funtioned fine). I thought about doing a part-out, but when I put the neck on...it fit very nicely. It is a REALLY great sounding and playing bass (way better that I would have thought...i've never matched a P neck with a jazz body before). I would love keep it if not for just trading for a Wal...so I really have no choice Someone will get CS sounding and playing bass for under 1K...can't beat that!

Can't tell from picture.
Is bridge Roadworn barrel stryle (60's style)
Is it bridge from Roadworn bass?

[poman]

The bridge is a 60's vintage "reissue", not off a road worn.

bump for another crazy bass by poman!

Forgot to mention...

I think she weighs about 9.5 to 9.6 (my scale wouldn't register so I had to weigh it with and with out me. If I am measuring right she is about 1.75 (maybe 1.65 depending on if I am doing it perfect). A really nice flat wide P neck, and it sounds like a mac truck ;-)
