Check it out. Me and my kids doing some Led Zep. That's the Jazz bass I built myself (see this thread for more info). I think it sounds pretty good. John Paul Jones would be jealous.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFqWGa48Abw&fmt=18

I don't have speakers here at work but I will have to listen when I get home. I also have a 10year old boy that plays drums. Comes in handy for practicing that is sure, also helps for learning to adjust to the drummer for timing problems as he is not always steady at keeping good tempo. But then again I'm not always in perfect time either. LOL |

But if you've ever had to remove a neck (to access the truss rod) and put it back on, swap a bridge, and install pickups, then you know 95% of what you need to know. It's mostly common sense.
The pain was doing the finish. That took forever. And a day.
Tone is really good. I dig the DiMarzio DP123 humbuckers. They still retain the Jazz sound but no hum.

My kid is playing the Ludwig Vistalite kit (Bonham replica). The kick drum is MASSIVE. (It's my buddy's kit.)
