Fender Blacktop Club

[Malak the Mad]

I bought a loaded Blacktop Jazz Body awhile back and am looking for
the neck to go with it.

Anybody got the neck and want to sell it? I'm a buyer.
You can PM me or reply in this thread.
Thanks!

I might be able to take you up on that. I'll explain via PM.

Hey guys, I asked a similar question on the aerodyne thread, but how does a blacktop j bass compare with the aerodyne (just sound specs I know all the feel and parts and that). Then how does the blacktop compare to the squier VM p bass and CV 60s p?

It's alder so it will sound punchier than basswood which is usually muddy on the bottom. I think all the others you mentioned are basswood.

the squier vm p bass (thslightly older and better ones) come with soft maple body

Ok guys, now my BT is as I like it: SD Quarter Pounds, ALPS "B" 250K pots, Chromes flats and "no JB" knobs, because isn't a JB, it's an Animal, "plus" a Tone Hammer preamp pedal, shure.

Quarter pounders

Quarter pounders

Can you get those in humbucker style, too, for the P-bass?

No don't think so. Quarter Pounders are made by Seymour Duncan. You should check their website.

Split-coils are naturally humbucking, but if you mean "Music Man-style", Duncan makes them, but their "Quarter Pounders" only come in J or P configurations.

I think he means the double jazz pups in the BT p bass.

Where did you get those knobs?

Yes, that's what I mean. I already signed up at SD forum and posted a thread asking the same question, but haven't gotten a response.

im not asking which ones is better (cause im betting alot of u would say the blacktop j bass probably lol) but i have 2 comparisons

1. musicman bongo vs fender modernplayer jazz with combined pickups from squier 77 and fender american standard jazz

2. blacktop precision vs geddy lee vs 60s vs aerodyne

Both Audio taper (A) and Linear taper (B) pots are great for volume controls, but always use Audio taper for tone cotnrols.
