Alrighty. Case closed. This being said, less plastic, more resonance (Hi Jaco !). The CV benefits the change. might keep it as it. Thanks for your help everyone, and if you have some clues as to what this could be, please chim in.

Indeed. Thanks Amano. I’ve since my « mistake » last week read a lot about this (Talkbass is such a GREAT source of learning, like having an open encyclopedia). I’m curious now to find out if any one sourced this exact pickguard already (and where from).

Meaning : has anyone seen this very pickguard configuration (colour + nearly not beveled) at any time ? On the net or in real life ?

Maybe so. No holes drilled for the thumb rest. Did someone seen that combination before (pearl/white/black) ?

Any idea ?

Hi guys, Writing from France here. So, after seeing a wonderful example of a pearl pickguard on a CV fiesta red pbass, decided to search the local french « craiglist ». And found a nice aged pearl specimen of a pickguard. Fellow says it was on his 70 US Fender pbass. We’ve got : aged...

Yep. Indeed. But intrigued by these ceramic magnets. Never saw a jazz pup like those in this bass, with these two magnets longitudinally side by side. Wilkinson have something similar, but not quiet the same. Those are at least 20 years old for additional information. And (originally) glued in...

Hi guys ! So I've got this JB-62 Japan body which was said to be a 62-US (so with the American made pups and threaded saddles) from a pro dealer. Well, it was not the aforementioned said US Japan model. Anyhow, any idea what these poor sounding pups may be ? Here's one of the set. Thank you...

Got one like that. Truly agree with you, that finish plus that logo on the headstock made this P an absolute winner for me as well. I did recently change the pup for an spb-1. But nothing wrong with the original MIM one.

NBD (sort of) MIM jazz bass - very nice and resonant- sunburst body (originally with a fretless neck) paired with a Jaguar maple neck coming from a Jaguar Modern Player (discontinued) line. All stock on the neck (tuning keys need a replacement) All stock on the body appart the addition of a...

Update. All set up now. Changed the flat wounds that the beast came with. Labella. The E was dead. Mean *dead*. No resonance whatsoever. Scary. Placed roundwounds that was in the Fender gig-bag received in the shipment from the seller. First of, even though I use flats and thought it was the...

When you feel the Urge. You certainly go for it
