101% sig approved (and organic and all that Jazz)

Let me in, I hear laughter,
Let me in, open up the door,
Let me in, I hear music,
I don't want to weep no more!

Thanks. Just got it back from the workshop. I bought it 20 years ago from Ronnie Rae Snr (top double bass player in Scotland). I ripped the frets out after discovering Jaco, but the inlays caused too much buzz. This bass then sat in my garage since then. Got it refretted, neck sanded and lacquered, body resprayed black and a new tort guard. It's a stunning bass now that sounds the dogs' nuts!

How's the Modern Player sound compared to the original Jazz? I've been pretty interested in those lately.

I've only tried the MP Jazz--a lot of mids. Great neck.

Here's some updates to my entry in this club:






I finally got around to ordering the correct caps, and was able to wire it up to stereo output. I'll admit, the wiring was not pretty (turned out halfway through I was using plumbing solder...not too easy to work with), but what the setup is now is the Dagstar goes to the first stack know, and then the first output. The Jazz pup goes to the 2nd stack and 2nd output. Completely isolates the circuits, so the tone controls aren't cross-talking now. Not the most elegant solution, but I'm more than happy with it.

The second picture shows my potential dual rig, though I'm actually finding I'm more happy by plugging the bridge pup into the Sunn's normal channel, and the Dagstar into the Sunn's Bright channel. Really massive sound.

The MP Jazz is brilliant bang for your money, really can't fault it.
As for sound, not a trad Jazz bass sound, more of a powerfull Precision sound, perfect IMO for a rock band, if that is of any help.

Really dig that blue. If I ever came across a blue/maple, I'd have no choice but to grab it and put a peal white pickguard on it.

Very cool...love to hear that setup! Good luck with it.

It's been a while since I posted my pair on this thread so here they are:
VM modified with refinished poly neck, vintage Fender tuners and several mods and Deluxe Jazz with Allparts neck.

You got yourself a P, albeit a very, very pretty P bass. Check out the Official Fender Precision Bass Club (Part 7) for the Fender P Bass guys
