Nice, Double E! This thread def could use some more audio/video in it... especially the passive PJ tones. No disrespect to the active guys.

This is similar to the tone I like to use a lot. P&J with flats, both pups both on full w/ the tone around 50%.

Missing a knob for now...

Beautiful! The body doesn't look worn though, have you repainted it?
Either way, wow, that's a beaut for sure! I'm getting the 70s vibe with the black guard/burst finish look.
Great choice for the pups too!

Well, bought the body on the bay as a roadworn, and it was indeed reliced, but most of it is on the sides, and mostly out of sight. Have no idea if it's a "real" roadworn (did they make different versions, or do they ALL have the same wear pattern?), but it's rather light and very resonant, and it was cheap. Then I annihilated any value it could have routing it for a jazz pup and a side jack anyway!

IMHO The "value" any bass has is the way it sounds, plays and the music you make with it. If you love this bass in it's current configuration, then it is priceless. Current resale value is immaterial unless you're planning on flipping it soon. Personally, I hang on to this one, it looks like a keeper to me.

I think we have cousins. Mines a '57 RI body and a American Standard Jazz neck. It's now also wearing a bridge cover and wired VVT.

Wow... if you ever decide to sell that thing, please PM me.

Same goes to you, @Down_Low

See? The value just went up! Supply and demand baby!

 

[thomas-k]

Ah! But no, this one stays with me! DownLow, nice one too ! How do you like the VVT wiring compared to the switch?

Much better with VVT. The 3 way was good for a quick change but obviously no blending option. Although in all honesty, I'm only playing the P pickup lately.

Here is an updated pic of my 58 reissue with a Fralin single coil in the 70s position. Wired blend / tone

Did you notice a difference when you installed the badass bridge? Wondering if it's worth the change.

Less thump more sustain, takes away from a tradition P a bit but adds versatility when blending in the J pickup.

Page 32 of this thread should now be referred to as "the sunburst page". Great looking (and sounding, I'm sure) basses

Here is my new LoPrinzi PJ just out of spray and ready to be built. This one is going to kill!

 

[ShowKing]

Here's my PJ. It's a Lakland bass.
I replaced all the hardware to black and it has a D tuner.
Strung with La Bella flats. Love it!
