Heavy 77 Jazz...New Body?

[funkinbottom]

As others have stated. Swapping your current body for a light weight body with your neck and components is a completely reversible, no harm no foul process, = a bass you will enjoy and feel much more comfortable playing. I'm a firm believer in playing what feels good and makes you happy to be playing it. So, if you have what you feel is The neck for you, but don't dig the body weight, then by all means make it player you want.

Thanks all, I see that I can get an Alder tobacco burst MIM body on Amazon for pretty cheap.... i'll probably go this route and see how it works out...and like everyone said, it's pretty easy to switch it back.

There’s one born every minute.

Proving yet another point. The value of the basses has been established, whether you like it or not. My price was on the low side. I have another of of the same year that would go for even more.

You are absolutely correct, sir. However, the OP doesn't wish to be one of them.
Furthermore, his original post says so.

I was responding to this:

"Sell it to somebody who'd rather look at a bass than play it. Then buy something you can PLAY".

The OP didn't say that, you did. Those wouldn't be the only people who might be interested in his bass... there are people who wouldn't rather look at it than play it TOO.
