Started out like this:

but the tiny jazz taper neck felt like a toothpick in my ape hands, and I wanted this look...

Here it is w/ a Jeannies red tort guard. I've got a Glaub neck on it's way home from Pat Wilkin's shop, where he painted the headstock to match. I'm also going to mount the chrome p'up cover w/ double-sided tape. The neck will be going to Carl Pedigo Invalid Link Removed (Lakland's semi-retired head luthier) for a shave down to 1.6" at the nut :bassist:. It should look like this mockup when finished.

Props for the Ric / Traynor combo from a fellow Canuck, nice. :)

Here's my 50th Anniversary Fender Jazz Deluxe in Crimsonburst, a discontinued colour that is Candy Apple Red Metallic solid on the edges and Transparent Crimson on the inside over an ash body. One of my favourites.

I love these. I wish I had gotten one when they were being blown out. Still regret it, and I don't see them for sale often. I did purchase one on ebay, but the pawn shop that was selling it literally threw it in a box with yeesh a handful of peanuts. It was trashed when it got to me. :(
Man do I hate bad packing jobs! Sorry to hear that about your almost owned Vaccaro!

There's a red V2 X-Ray with EMGs on ebay now....he originally was asking way too much for it IMHO so the reserve may be a bit high...even MIK they are solid basses.

I missed the big blowout too but keep my eyes peeled for the ones that do pop up.
 
Well, lets see what i've got in red.

This puppy is about to have its EMG-HZ's yanked out of it and replaced with a pair of active EMG 40P5's. That should get my mojo workin'.
