Best looking jazz bass?

[SteveC]

I just scored this '74, mostly for the look and because I wanted a J bass with 70's bridge pickup spacing. View attachment 413493

I'd play this.

Lakland Darryl Jones in Sonic Blue, for me.

I vote for the ones on the Fender website. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed][Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

Wow that's amazing! Looks funky, like it's been warped - but I love it!

Best looking Jazz?

This:

i've been dying to try those angled frets.

the whole thing is a work of art, even the way the pickups/inlays perfectly match the flow of the design. oh the pains of chronic GAS.

Do you have a closer detail shot of how that angled bridge sits on the body.
The view you've shown, while stunning, makes it appears as if the top corner of the bridge hangs over the tail of the guitar.

 

[kcole4001]

It's just an optical illusion.

Dingwall's gallery is here:

There are better pics that show that the bridges doesn't overhang the body.
The close up of the black and tort bass in the upper right corner show it best.

Hands down, the Fender Ventures Jazz bass.

I've been ever-searching for one (in my price range).

This is a marco bass guitar 5 string passive J-Bass. Gold Sparkle finish with a Poplar body, Maple fingerboard with Maple glossed neck. Very smooth and has Marco's amazing pick-ups. No inlays for me, but does have glow-in-the dark luminlay dots up the neck.

Nice Marco DumpsterDave....I had to throw one up too.

 

[basschanges]

This one's a looker. Sounds pretty good too. Have a listen.

A Bass of Doom without the splinters, if ya don't mind. I landed one of these a while ago. '62 from head to toe. I'm no expert but it seems the only glaring differences are the paint and the lack of screw holes. And the damage.

Here's another one to give you a better angle,

Such an amazing tone on that. Love your playing too. Fat jazz blues walking.

Marco Basses are fantastic, I had him build me one after playing 8 of his Basses at NAMM and loving every single one. This Bass went from bieng one of many to my main axe for almost 2 yrs now, ive put it up against every boutique Fender style Bass you can think off and it always wins.

Marco's hand wound passive pick ups sound amazing, that passive Bark with enough high end and low boom to make you forget about active EQ's... My Marco is a P/J but the body and neck are Jazz style, he made the neck Thick per my request but it still had a Jazz profile to it, the entire bass is finished in Satin matte clear. The Bass weighs about 8lbs, the body is 3 piece, Ash core and cedar wings.

 

[bigsnaketex]

That is simply Stunning!

For my taste, the Lakland Markus Orange can't be beat.

Thanks for the compliment but I'm afraid that's not me. The guy's name is ‪‪arnaud morin‬‬. I apologize for not making that clear. He does play beautifully. There's a great cross-section of Jaco's genius in there.

I love this clip especially because; the bass looks classic, it sounds classic, and it gives me something to aim at with my own playing. Jaco's legacy is mind-numbing.

i think "glazed doughnut" has a nice ring to it in terms of that finish.

beautiful!
