Is that bridge original? It looks a lot more "modern" than the one I have on my original 76'. (Eehh... with chrome knobs...)
I'll post it again!

Ohh! Nice!
Maple on black is a really classy combo!
And nicely worn in as well!
Also noted the bridge. BA Mk 1?
Seems to be adding some weight?

Yes chaps - That's a schaller bridge - now removed and the original put back in place. It had been fitted when I bought it, but luckily the owner had kept all the original stuff like ashtrays etc. And thanks Splanky - it's a real keeper. Stunning bass, Raymond. The more beaten the better, in my opinion. Yours appears to have passed straight through Mojo Central and is on its way..to...uh.....*tails off*
Mike, I love that bass! Well, as you said "all my basses were bargains" how much did this one set you back? £300? £200? 
Finally got around to taking pics of my Jazz...
2000 Fender Jazz MIM
Midnight Blue (purple really)
Mods:
DiMarzio Model J's
BadAss II
Vintage style knobs
Bought it new in 2000 for $300 from Manny's in NYC. Spent a lot of time trying different ones until I found this one. This is one of those MIM gems you hear about. Great neck, nice fretwork, plays smooth, and sounds sweet. I love her.

My wife just bought me one!
Not the same as the following picture, but very, very close.
No noiseless pickups, but they are very quiet nonetheless.

I jammed with it for the first time 2 weeks ago and boy, did it play great! It's different enough (what I wanted) from my Ibanez (also with J pickups) that it does has it's purpose, so I'm happy.

Check the pic. I made it myself mostly of fender parts ('62 replacement neck, noiseless pu's, vint tuners, pots, plate, cover, etc) and a tung oiled WD ash body. It turned out much better than my skills should warrant, it plays and sounds like a dream.
