[stringthrough]

Looks great!

If you don't mind the question, how much did it set you back?

 

[Lesfunk]

That’s a bad mamajama

 

[cnltb]

I really like FGN!

 

[Silky Johnson]

Dang that is a sweet looking bass, kinda got me interested

 

[BigJohnAZ]

I like the large polepieces.

That's what She said!

 

[R&B]

Cool bass. (Sigh.) Hot GAS.

Just insanely gorgeous. I'm happy to share the FGN love. And judging by those scratches on the pickguard, it looks like you are really enjoying this bass. They would be wise to replace that terrible looking 3TSB and white guard with this!!

Awesome! Been looking at these for a couple of years, but the US importer only seems to bring over the jazzes. Curious, where did you order from?

Congrats!

Danny Stewart from Bass Japan Direct can get you just about anything from the East.

It's not that bad.

It's not that bad.

No, it's not and welcome BTW.

If the gun metal wasn't available I would have considered this if it had a black PG but those don't grow on trees online.

I did find an all black one with a rosewood board and that was likely my next choice. Anyway, this bass fits my needs very well, and in hindsight, I probably would have gotten any of the finishes if I knew then what I know today.

That is a great color, I've had something like that in mind, since I like red basses...

It was indeed your review-video that got me on track of this bass, and what a bass it is !
I'm totally happy with it; a P bass on steroids !
Looking at that pickup-configuration, someone like Lee Sklar can't be wrong ;-)

At this moment I'm combining this with another video you made that I like very much; I want some onboard overdrive or fuzz circuit. I'm experimenting with the Artec QDD2, but I find the result quite 'harsh' sounding, so I'm still experimenting on that one !

Greetings from the Netherlands !

Awesome bass!

It does look like the E & A pickups are in the 60s Jazz positions. With that and where the D& G pickups are it seems like it’d be pretty perfect.

Even though there’s more material there than necessary, the bases to the tuning machines are freaking gorgeous!

CFS looks like it would come into play more on instruments with a wide difference in string spread between the bridge and the nut like on a Jazz.

sorry, a bit late to the party but I recently discovered this bass with @LowEndLobster reviews, it seems that the EA coil from the neck pickup is located in the traditional jazz location while the bridge pickup is centered in the Stingray location. Maybe someone who owns the bass can confirm?
