Looks fab! The lavaguard tort looks amazing, wasn’t familiar with them! Plz report back once you have the Resolites!

Thanks , won’t get under 8 I don’t think I think they only save about 5 oz or so maybe I’ll remove half the screws on the bass and who needs plastic pickup covers ?

They did a nice job on the mid 60's burst, most miss the mark.

Beautiful. I love how light mjt is making jazz bass bodies. They’re perfect. I, too, have a mjt jazz bass with a lavaguard. In blonde.

Love the burst. I have a couple MJT P basses (one in fiesta red, the other in vintage white), and have been very impressed. The red is my #1. That Jazz you have sure looks good.

I think the Gotoh’s will take off more than 6 ounces. The regular Gotoh’s , which you have, are hefty beasts.

Beautiful newborn bass! And.............. shame on me, but I immediately thought the pic that @Bass4ThePublic posted were "mom and dad", especially with that "backdrop". Again, shame on me.

Beautiful bass. Such a classic look.

If I may ask, how did you get the bass strings to line up so perfectly with the pick-up magnets?

Thanks, I didnt really do it purposefully. I replaced the nut on that neck recently ,so its cut more carefully than one an an assembly line, with MJT bodies you usually need to sand the sides of the neck pocket to get a neck to fit , which is a terrible choice on their part im sure we've all blown out enough mjt neck pockets in our days and the finish is very brittle , so I guess I got lucky there with the amount I removed from each side and I guess I got lucky with the bridge mounting holes being drilled out properly , I hadnt even noticed how they lined up ive managed to cut nuts horribly and have to redo them so I guess Id say 99% dumb luck

Nice results, OP!

I’ve never really noticed , I push strings over on the threaded saddles mainly for spacing on fretboard edges , now I will never stop looking for that

One thing being in the Army sort of cursed me with, is attention to trivial details.

well its down to 8lbs 1oz after resolites/bridge change,didnt change the bushings not sure if that would save the 30 grams or so needed to get under 8 ,was fun to try by far my lightest jazz , sounds incredible, balances great , feels great
