I picked this up from a local player. It is routed for an Audere preamp with a Z mode switch and battery light. This was done so that the plate model mounts to the body. IMO, this was not the way to go as the Audere pots are not deep enough; so the original owner had to gouge out the wood underneath to add some more room. The better way would be the z-mode module preamp, configurable, deep pots, has the switch and the light. I have mounted pots to this body and had them bend as did the original owner. Fair warning, do not tighten pots down too hard on this body unless you can level out the surface behind the pots..This is full disclosure; you might have to get creative with securing the pots onto the body in a straight fashion.

There is a chip in the paint on the bottom side of the neck pocket. There is some dings and scratches on the top. It's a player. There is damage from solvent on the backside of the body. Scratches on the upper horn and typical area of belt buckle.

But that aside, the flamed maple top looks great. Bottom Route and no pick guard. Body weight is light 4.2lbs. Alder back. Finished in Cherry Burst on the top, and Transparent red on the back. Included strap locks. Shipping included, paypal preferred.

so you're saying that normal cts pots would be crooked when installed as a passive setup?

I tightened down an EMG active 25k pot and it somehow made the pot unusable by bending the shaft. The original owner reported doing this to an audere preamp.

It makes me wonder if something like a wide/thin washer for each hole would work to re-level them with the flat plane of the original route. Other ideas come to mind; wood putty to fill the gouges…maybe a strip of something thin & rigid to be mounted along the lines of the foil (metal, plastic or perhaps a wood veneer?), but not too thick as to prevent the pots from seating properly. It sounds like it'd be an interesting project. Good luck to whomever takes this lusciousdrool Jazz body! :thumbsup:

To be fair, I kept spinning the wrench when I knew the pot was on there secure enough.. but yes; something like that could work. I just do not have the time on my hands with my new network engineering job. Also please be patient those whom I owe feedback to.. It's coming!

that is a stunning body , I'm not sure I could fill all those holes though . Does a J control plate cover them up ?

J plate works perfectly. You could saw a hole big enough for the plate and drill some screw holes and mount a plate just fine.

any chance you could snap a pic with the plate on it . You would not need to "saw a hole" you would just need to use long shaft pots , which Warmoth sells . Mount the plate on the top just like all J basses .

I tried that, you would need some freakishly long pots to make that work. Plus, this just sold as well. :-/ I would have totally snapped that picture for you along with the super long pots I have barely fitting.
