1976 Rickenbacker 3001 in Autumnglo. All original all stock.What is that???
Gorgeous!

When I have to play a Fender, I prefer J to P. Those look inviting.In all the years I’ve been playing, I’ve never owned a jazz. First 25 years I played a music man. Last 10 years I’ve been on a P kick. Suddenly jazz basses are calling my name….well couldn’t be happier with these 2 beauties! And a jazz with no pickguard just seems so right.
A ‘22 Dan Lakin and an ‘83 Fullerton Reissue. Somehow both jazz basses came with flats on them. The Fullerton has been defretted but I’ll likely get her refretted.

No criticism ... real or effected ciggy burn?
???Ok, so this blonde/ash jazz I assembled developed a twist in its neck, so I slapped a random fiesta red neck I had on it. Kind of ugly but works. I FINALLY got around to ordering another neck today. Basically a vintage jazz bass spec neck but now the neck will be quartersawn, huzzah!
This is a very cool bass. I installed duncan antiquities, and with the Labella IMA super polished strings it just roars. Almost sounds like a spector or something, very lively sound. Just sustains forever, I keep it in Eb tuning.View attachment 7455856

Out of all the 'relicing' effects, that one isn't one I would do. When I lived in Chicago in the 80s I played in blues bars. One didn't need to smoke as everyone in the audience was and I'd come home smelling like an ashtray. My '66 P was professionally played by a guy in Portland but luckily he wasn't a smoker.I don’t smoke.. tobacy. Stupid fender. Amazing neck.
