Geddy's Red Custom Shop Jazz used for D-open tuned songs (2112, Circumstances, etc.)

That thing is awesome!

Haha, no. They can either be ones you've played or just ones you've admired.

JPJ's 62, hands down. Before he had it refinished of course.

Klaus Flouride's LPB '66 Jazz is pretty cool.



johnk_10 has some very cool '60s Jazz Basses.

Here's a few of them.

My favorite jazz of all time which is also my dream bass is a Sunburst late 60's early 70's jazz with maple and black blocks with lots of mojo. Just happen I found one for sale recently here on TB and snatched that puppy up! It is a 72 and dripping with mojo! A REAL road worn jazz! And it plays and sounds Oh So Good!

from one's I've played - this 66 Jazz that belongs to a close friend of mine. It's a wild beast of an instrument. I usually choose his 66 Precision though...fits better in the mix


as for favorite all time? I'd have to say the Herbie Flowers' 1960 (1959?) jazz...
