Ok here it is, the best looking bass I've got so far :cool:

It's a custom built Jean&Jean (jeanandjean.com) Jazz Bass that wasn't even supposed to be built :D
I wanted to mod/do a Frankenstein on my Squier and wound up with a brand new custom baby, and I can't really complain, can I?

Specs:

34'' scale
maple neck
ash body
wenge fingerboard, 22 frets
bone nut
BadAss II bridge
Schaeller tuners
EMG J-set


And here are the pics, in the before/after sequence:

That's grand. I really like the neck and the grain in the body is sweet. Have you played it and does it sound as it should?

Thanks :)

The neck grain is the sweetest part, IMO.
It sounds superb, the EMGs are really doing the trick as well. Superb slap tone along with that old school fingerstyle vibe :cool:
The neck is really smooth, like it's not even there :D

I'm yet to play it on a ''serious'' amp, though, and the strings aren't that much to my liking (they're d'addarios, i prefer ernie ball, but those were the only ones I could find at the moment).
