| | | Vintage Modified 70's Jazz. Pretty good bass, nice low action and fun to play. No major mods, only a knob change to "proper" ones and a pickup cover.

| | | The one shown in my Avater is a VM. I changed the tuners and electronics, refinned in nitro, reshaped the taper on the neck, changed the nut, etc.. Great bass, though I sold it recently. I need to do another.
Here are a few more pics -

Here's my VM fretless, currently in the process of initial mild asethetic mods: 
Swapped out knobs for black; in the process of installing cream pearl pickguard shown (I'm not in love with the exposed, not very well matched, multi-piece body). |

They're great basses for the cash. Fatness personified.

| | | | I have the Jazz fretless, and the Telebass.
Jazz got a set of TI Flatwounds, a StewMac rolling string tree, and a perspex finger ramp between the pickups.
Telebass got a three way coil tap switch and a thumbrest.

Swapped the bridge to a Gotoh 201 I had around right away, and swapped in some USA Fender pups a few days ago. Currently waiting on some new pots and parts from Buzzards Bass Shop.
