NBD? AVRI '75 Jazz Bass
 

Just ordered from Sweetwater. This is my first major bass purchase, and a big step up from the bass I currently have. I am really psyched!

The pictures are the ones of the bass I am getting. Don't have it in my hands yet, but am too excited not to share it.:hyper:

Congrats man! That thing is going to be awesome! Love the bound and blocked look.

Thanks!

Dope!

Congrats...I have sadowskys version of the same bass(uv70) and can't put it down. U will love the funkiness of the 70s bridge pickup being closer and the ash/maple board. My favorite bass and main gigger...good choice dude

Congratulations!

I have an AV'75; they're really great basses.

Enjoy!

Congrats! I hope you enjoy it!

awesome woodgrain. been DYING to try one of these...congrats!

Yeah, congrats! I got one new in 2000, which I think was the second year they were offered. Still have it. Very nice bass, and has always drawn a lot of compliments. Very eye-catching...

Own one myself and it is the nicest Jazz I have ever played. Everyone has "that" bass (or 2) that they would NEVER get rid of. For me it is the 75. I absolutely LOVE that babe!!!

I would highly recommend a set of DR Black Beauties when you get her....mine looks (and plays) stunning with them on!!

Very cool. Thanks for the replies! I will definetly post some pics when i get her..

(since you just ordered, i'm not going to congratulate you until the near future)

used to have one of these, it was the best Jazz I've played

I have an actual 1977 Jazz, and if the the new RIs are in fact built nearly identical to originals, you're in for a treat. Congrats!

I have one I truly love it !!!

After stressing all day I came home happy to find the bass.Attachment 302624Attachment 302625

Have not gotten the chance to play it yet.

Sounds great! I installed the mutes and am really digging the tone! Playing through a Sadowsky preamp through an ampeg micro vr. What a step up from my MIM!

No doubt!

Last night, I played my 75'RI through my Alembic/fEARful rig - great tone; great feel; great bass!

Congrats, again, bmb73!

Congrats!
That bass will always be on my GAS list... well... until I actually get one! :)

There was a rumor in another thread here that it will be discontinued at the end of the year, along with the '57 and '62 models, so you may want to hurry if you want a new one.....

I was lucky enough to find a clean used one a month ago, so I am a happy camper!!!! :D It is indeed a great instrument.

Yes, congratulations, bmb73!
