The fretless is beautiful! What kind of parts did you use?Here's a couple more. Including my ebay parts fretless.
It was homemade...
...wasn't very good either, I never used it really, it was just pretty.
I used the 1x15 I still have instead.

the sx jazz i got sounds like a squire jazz only i think the neck is a little wider than a squire jazz as i have had squire j-basses in the past. the overall sound is deep imo and strong and the bass is very heavy so its nice, just the way i like it
thanks Sam...their prices make it hard not to get one...mmmmm
The whole fretless cost me $280. in parts....$119. for a loaded body (unfinished/no-name). $130. for the neck (no hardware, no-name) $30. Gotoh tuners. The body was an extremely white wood; I, kind of, wish I hadn't stained it, but it is a similar 'walnut' colour to the fretboard now. After much sanding, the fretboard feels very nice. I just finished setting it up, and I'm very happy with the action etc (after some minor shimming and nut filing). I can't believe how good the pickups are, for a cheapy; comparable to the DiMarzios' in my other bass.....Oh!..$280. + $22. for chrome flatwounds, from ebay too.
A fun project.
1. Stock Jazz with Parchment Pickguard, Black Knobs & Pickup Covers
2. Change Pickup Covers to White & Pickguard to White Pearl; also add Badass II Bridge w/ Slotted Saddles
3. Change Knobs to White and Transformation Complete!

Exactly. Reversible mods are good. Just ask anyone who has had a vasectomy!
BTW, libanass, I love your cream/vintage white colored Jazz. A beaut!yep thanks 
it was actually much brigher, but it got so old over the years, the color is turning to yellow, the bass cleary needs a repainting, but I'll keep it aged just like it is
I really think white stuff on that bass would make it look more beautifull, specially with these legenderay pearl white inserts in the neck
just as it makes your bass look much more beautifull as well

Pearloid inlays are indeed nice. I'm going to experiment with putting the parchment guard back on the blue jazz, since the white pearl might be considered by some to be a bit much.yep thanks
