NBD- candy red jazz bass

[nagarjuna]

Funny..... that's the exact bass I was thinking of having you make for me. No s%$t. Binding, dots and CAR. It's my favorite combo although I stole it from Victor Bailey and the bass he used in Weather Report. Under-rated player and Holy Grail instrument. JohnK, your work rules!

take those covers off and add a B string John and i would be in love!

john's a great guy and builder, look forward to seeing more of your work man!

Nicely done John! Binding with dots and lolipop tuners are where it's at IMO.

i made the neck with a friend (who's a licensed aftermarket parts supplier). there really isn't a price for it because it's a one-off.
and yes, i made(modded) the tuners for it and re-nickelplated them.

does your friend offer a 7 1/4 radius? i hate the flat board on all the aftermarket fender necks.

Just simply amazing, as all of JohnK's builds. With practice (My mis-adventures in parts-bassery), I hope to someday reach His level of skill.

 

[narud]

yes he does.

whats the company? we have a licensed fender parts guy in cali?

at first glance, I thought it was one of those Anniversary model Jazzes, it's a great build!!
