The official "Show your basses" thread part 19!

Hey everyone

Here’s my 2022 Fender Ultra Jazz Bass. I swapped the pickguard with a custom one so that the bass just looks like the most basic 3Ts/Tort Jazz bass hahah.

But that’s one of my favorite color.
Some QC issues mentioned earlier, but great sound, very versatile. Your typical JB, but a little high end.

Behind it, there’s my Ampeg V4B and 212. Killer rig
(That's my new wallpaper btw)

@JIO Now I do not really care how it sounds, but this bass is a piece of art!

The Jolana? Yes, it is a piece of art and bonus - it does sound good!

Do you like the sound of it? As in, is it what you envisioned ?

Yeah, it sounds and plays great. It just needs a set of flats on it.
I typically build with spare parts and upgrade later if it's worth it. This one's definitely worth it, I have a set of Quarter Pounders for it.

On a completely different note, I had the chance to see Mr. Big last night with Billy Sheehan. They were amazing. Billy was incredible. Watching him do dual leads with the guitarist was ridiculous. Check them out if you have the chance.

Looks like a sweet little baby to me. Congrats !

Just for a little taste for those that aren't aware, this was the opening song for Mr. Big, Addicted To That Rush.



I was enjoying it way to much live to try and record it.

Incredible bassist. Saw Mr Big after the release of Lean Into It. Sheehan blew me away and I fell in love with the Yamaha Attitude but even then was a little out of my budget. Long since on my bucket list.

He also played a double neck version last night.
I think one was BEAD and the other EADG.

Was lucky to see 'em when they opened for Rush on the Presto tour... my first major concert.

Nicely done relic'ing but I think the neck could be better. You can post it on my related thread if you'd like. https://www.talkbass.com/threads/show-your-distressed-finishes.1028292/page-319

Well its been 6+ years since my last Bass related purchase. Went into a Guitar Center to grab some picks as Im finally getting back on the bass train after an equally long amount of time not playing. Wouldn't you know it, this CV70s P bass and an Ampeg combo amp somehow followed me out of the store. Not sure how that happened. Obviously I didn't waste much time getting it up to "par." (Ashtrays, thumb rest, straplocks and strap.) Now I'm heavily debating on if I want to go with a mint/aged white/creme pickguard for her.
