Tim Cole said:I picked up two jazz basses in the last week.
First one is a 78, bought from right here on TB from user "thedeadking". To make a long story short, the money order accidentally got sent to the wrong place, so I had to make a 400 mile road trip to pick this up in person. I strung her up with TI flats, and used it the next day on a gig. It had a white guard on it when I got it, but opted for tort. Great player, and nice fat thumpy sound, perfect for the acoustic gigs my band does. Sound samples can be found here:
Clips of 4 songs, file size 2 mb, 3:50 run time.

2. Drive: Incubus
3. If you could only see: Tonic
4 In my Place: Coldplay

The second is a Geddy Lee Sig reissue, I plan to keep this one strung with rounds. Great playing and looking bass! One of the best feeling J necks I have played. Only thing I didn't like was the white guard, so it got a mirror one.
Hey Tim, I hate you. ($450 for that bass!)
Despite the fact that Im your sworn mortal enemy I gotta suggest that you try a tort gaurd on the Geddy. I think black and tort go really nicely together.
Well anyways, here are mine.
Shoreline Gold Valenti, my main gigging bass.
1975 Ibanez Black Eagle
Thats not actually mine in the picture, but its close enough. Mine was from the end of the first year of production (1975-1977) and the design on the pickgaurd it slightly different.
Peace
