Fantastic but belonging to fancy woods as per OP intro ... we want solid colours !!

Love a fretless Jazz......mine's not quite as black as yours. Mine says Badass Bass as well.... but I cut it out of the shot.

My Marcus Miller Jazz is pretty sweet.

Not mine but Jeff Kiesel posted this Carvin he did. I saved it because I like the matte finish over the figured top.

I mine a lot. I think it’s pretty rad.

How about this Iron "Air J", made in France by Fabrice Fournadet:

Oh that wasn't mine. That bass was straight outa Google.

Yours looks great.

It is probably an acquired taste, but how about the older Ibanez Black Eagle basses.

I am bias, since I own one, but I think the Fender Modern Player Jazz basses are BA! The satin finish and JJ pickups!!

Note - not my bass in the pic as I didn't have any on my phone.

Sandberg California TM4 with ash body and blue burst finish!!

Being a big fan of the MM humbucker, and Jazz basses, I have to say this is awesome. I see some stacked knobs also, right? How does this baby sound?

I've had this 78' Jazz for around ten years. It looks like it was modded in the late seventies; Dimarzio split coil pickups and an early Badass bridge set into the body... before the bass boat glitter finish was sprayed.

Obviously, the neck has been replaced (tuners are original) but again I think it was done early; no markings on the neck but it was new when it was installed (only screw holes are for the three bolt neckplate).

Just pulled it out of storage (I'm getting ready to put it up for sale), I'll try to post some better pics...

Most jazz basses I see (regardless whether Fender or not) seem to either have a classic look (sunburst, black, white, tort etc.) or a boutique look (no pickguard, table top with fancy woods etc.).

I therefore wonder whether any really bada** looking ones are around, for example like Dusty Hill's basses compared to a regular P bass.

One word...Bacchus.
