    Help with La Bella Flats for a Vintera Jazz Bass

    No, you made a fair assumption in that, I think, most JB players use a mix of both pickups –– otherwise they would just play a PB. Now, I've got the 760FS with a mute on my American Standard PB with a Fralin, which I absolutely adore. With this new JB, I just assumed that I would throw the same...

    Help with La Bella Flats for a Vintera Jazz Bass

    Looking for a quick confirmation on whether the La Bella 760FS will fit on a Vintera II Jazz Bass. This bass is standard 34" scale, no string-though-body. The string spec states that the E string is 36.75" from ball-end to silk wrap. Here's where I need some help... I would just measure the...

    Holla' from the Durdy South

    Recently picked up a used '19 Fender Player JB after a long hiatus on the instrument. Made some minor cosmetic mods after I got it, pics attached. I also play guitar, banjo, mandolin, uke, and piano. Thought I'd come here to mingle. Before mods: After mods:
