Both basses look great!

An old friend of mine has an original sk 1961 Jazz Bass in white.

I love that contemporary jazz. How much did those pickups cost? You got me thinking I might want to do the same mod, but with a retro vibe stingray preamp instead

they aren't cheap due to being multi coil wal type pups (£500 ish I think)

Just picked up this 1973 Jazz Bass. It's been stripped and has a BadAssII bridge as well as I believe to be EMG JV pickups with the BTC preamp. You can tell it's authentic from the 70's Fender neck pocket gap. Since it's already been heavily modified I'm thinking of getting passive pickups and a drop active/passive preamp such as a J-Retro or Audere.

Yeah I agree with others that body is cool! Unique, looks a bit longer than an old P bass body and the cutaway is nice!
Good job with it!

Couldn't sleep...got up, picked a bass, gave it a spa/strings. We're doing coffee and couch noodle now.

Your bass guitars have the shiniest frets on the planet! When I die, I want to come back as one of your bass guitars.

I always polish frets by hand and/or oil boards when I change strings. It's relaxing to me.

You obviously couldn't sleep in the couch, there was no room for you !
Very nice bass by the way, most of us would be very happy with such instrument.

Thank you sir. It's an old American Special I've had for years. I just love it.
