    Deals you got on a bass or bass equipment that were UN-BELIEVABLE

    The Fender Jazz Bass Club pt 4

    Lots of good info there. Thanks Patrick. Yep, my Jazz bass is MIJ but came stock with US Vintage pickups and an alder body. Fender Japan also manufactures a basic RI 62 with Japan pickups and basswood. Does anyone know why there is a copper link between the bridge and the pickup? I've seen a...
