So i bought myself the Stack Knob Kit off of basspartsresource and got my dad's guitar luthier friend to install them for me. I also got a badass II put in, and got him to file the bridge professionally.

I LOVE my Jazz Bass now, it sounds so much better than before. my dad's friend mostly does fret work so he went over and did a bit of work on them, and I no longer have any buzzing frets.

I don't think my Jazzy's ever sounded this good. the additional sustain from the badass II is insane, it sounds great, and the additional tone knob adds a lot of tonal possibilities. I can now get everything from a pseudo-flatwound sound to the flea-like metallic attack.

Plus I think it looks great!

if anyone wants clips let me know!

Not only is the bass really pretty, but you take some great pictures. Really great pictures, in fact. And yes, I'd love to hear it!

thanks! im a bit of a photographer too (i really try to do a bit of everything haha ) if youre interested in looking at some photos, then you can see some here www.flickr.com/photos/west_berliner

It's hard to get a picture to show what a bass really looks like due to light, and just the fact that when you have the bass in your hand, you can take a look at all the little things etc. but i like seeing good pics of a bass, so i thought id do the same when showing mine!

thanks!

ill get some clips up tomorrow or at the latest saturday! ill post here when i have em
