Fender Jazz Marcus miller help????

[Cymbalrush]

hey everyone!

recently seen a fender jazz MM in a shop in town, i've played it quite a lot and am heavily considering buying it...

i did some research on them and it seems this particular one is different to the standard model.

instead of two volume controls for the pick-ups it has, dual concentric pots... i was stumped, i asked the shop clerk and he said the extra pots were sweeps for my EQ, but i though the EQ were different pots entirely.

the standard black EQ tone knobs are silver on my bass... and one of them again is dual concentric.

i also have a second switch, not found on the standard MM... and i have no idea what that does..! i think its a switch to enable a panning of the pickups...??....


sorry if none of that made sense!

any know what i'm talking about?

sounds like it's got a John East Marcus Retro fitted (cant quite be sure from your description). If it has and they're not charging a premium, you've hit the jackpot. This $300 pre setup is a considerable improvement on the stock. You'll get the lowdown on John's excellent website.

Cool. My Marcus has a retro fitted and its awesome. I would make sure you snap that baby up before someone else does - you simply wont find a better Jazz until you hit boutique level and even then it will give them a run for their money.
