The official "Show your basses" thread part 19!

Nice - what's the SteJazz bass?

Thanks !
It's my baby: a bass i've build with a luthier during a one week course he was proposing, 19 years ago; with my friend Tof .. The bass has evolved since (pickups, bridge, head shape, .. )
Stejazz is the name i gave to the bass. Luthier was Xavier Petit. He was a very good one, with a real passion to share. RIP Xavier..

Here is the initial history:

Just an old black and gold...

Perfect

The newest addition. TI JF324 .043-.106’s through a Markbass 210. So far so good. Tomorrow night at rehearsal will be the first good test. Went with Artemis over Apollo to reflect the times.

I picked a Sterling that was on display in GC last week. Is it me or are they a bright sounding bass ?

I thought mine was bright and not very well rounded stock

My two. Made up of parts I bought off of Ebay. The Jazz bass is my primary. I freakin' love that thing. It plays so great. I had the pickups wired together to one volume. I get compliments on it all the time for its tone.

I love the color of the Precision. What does Fender call that color?

 

[stevieg]

Thx! The MTD is 30” scale (the others are 34”)…. [edit/add:] yea, the two in the middle (Lull P5 and Sadowsky WL5-22) are very special to me. Definitely, my “if I could only keep two” core basses!

My apologies. I mistook the Lull for a Precision. Sorry.

No worries…the Lull P5 actually IS a Fender color: Shoreline Gold—w/Mint pg (although the pg looks more like Parchment in my pics…)

No pictures just yet but I can at least talk about my new bass after getting confirmation that it'll be shipped this Saturday.

I lucked my way into having the funds to purchase a Kramer aluminum neck bass and the one I ended up choosing was an excellent looking Kramer XL-24 bass with a 3 piece Koa body. The XL-24 was a fitting choice because I started wanting an aluminum neck Kramer after seeing the 8-string version of this bass in person a little over 4 years ago.

Speaking of my Lull P5…a new Lull mate just arrived! ~Lull IMA 4 (Firemist Lavender)~ First impressions: jazz on steroids…loads of muscle/more mid-forward tones. Solid ash body, all passive, ebony fb…8.4 lbs. Finding it hard to set it down!

I freakin' love my Peavey C-4 so when I saw a C-5 on reverb I just had to get her.

Virtually immaculate, just 3 little dings about 1mm each.

With her little sister

which brings me to a question for anyone who may know (can @kodiakblair please come to the reception desk). Why are some the of the C-4's & C-5's veneered and others are not?

 

[kodiakblair]

Why are some the of the C-4's & C-5's veneered and others are not?

Same reason other basses come with caps/drop tops/veneers.

Super cool! Does it sound like a Thunderbird at all?
