The silence of the lambs reference, an off handed twisting of a remark you made before.

VEry nice, very nice, but what is so special about the headstock, besides it saying fender jazz bass (thats pretty special itself)

Jazz bass is emphasized with fat lettering and the serial number is on the back of the headstock, in contradiction to 60's and modern style basses. It's a 70's thing. Altough it's still different to the original 70's headstock styling of course... Less spaghetti-ish then Geddy '72 posted above.

It's plain, simple and has a awesome message to the people. And the Jazz bass has definetely the best headstock of all. ^^

The puzzle bass is a Sandberg. They had it in an add (photoshopped) but got challenged to actually build it, so they did it as a test of skill/design, so to speak. AFAIK.

It seems like ibanez did a lot of copying other models of other brands. I have at my house an ibanez copy of a Les Paul, ive seen Ibanez Ricks, ibanez fenders, etc.... whats up with that?

In the mid 70's, Ibanez made copies of Gibson and Fender products. Excelent copies, but copies so similar that it's hard to tell them apart.

This stopped in the late 70's with the introduction of the Musician and Roadstar models.

My '66 Jazz is, IMO, really cool:

So is my Celinder:

And I think this parts bass I had a while ago is pretty cool:

 

[wraub]

Not a good bass?

No, it was a good bass, at least mine was.

I was young and foolish, intrigued by luthiery, and had a bass.
Ripped out the frets, cut off and reshaped the horns, sanded and refinned, and... eventually lost interest.

Apparently they are worth quite a bit now. (sigh...)

I might still have the pickguard somewhere, have to search someday.

Not as different/cool as some other jazzes in this thread but I think it holds a lot of funk.

Mine is

It's a Fender Roscoe Beck model.

This gets my vote, any chance of some soundclips? Would love to hear it.
Shall post a pic of my Geddy later, piece of art that one.

"It plays the bass or it gets the hose"

My Lull M5 has been my main player for a while now and is the best jazz bass I have ever played.

I've got a bit of Lull GAS going on, but I've already got an active Jazz, so it's a hard sell at the homestead.

The requisite cool jazz:

I used it on these two songs a few years ago.

Bridge PU series, Neck PU parallel, or maybe single coil on the second song. Stock Fender rounds, 5 years old. Direct into the board.
