The official "Show your basses" thread part 19!

Thanks, it came on the bass. Tort and coiled instrument cable in the OEM case.
This is a vocalist friend's rendition at the time. I'd give few large to relocate it.

Shouldn't be hard to have Fender Custom Shop to replicate it or build it with Warmoth parts. That bass looks killer!!!
 
Share this maple thingy!

If Katrina didn't take it out to sea, someone somewhere is sitting on it. Not looking for a replica. Otherwise it would have to be a custom build considering lollipops, Pearloid blocks and early '70's logo. I'd settle for a '74. Still have the pick guard.
 
I’m not at the age yet where I care about weight but I have to say, it feels nice to own a very light Jazz bass. From being 7lbs 3oz, I swapped out the bridge for a vintage saddle bridge and is now weighing at a whopping 6lbs 12oz :wideyed:

I’m considering Fralin Standard pickups to give it that 60s sound to match the 60s aesthetic (knobs will be next to replace). This bass has become my new eye candy favorite :drool:

Thanks for the kind words Fellas! This instrument is just unreal. It has a Roadworn neck. 50’s body. Duncan 60’s pride. Resolites and KTS bridge. Very light too. With all that it should be right but it’s way way off the charts I mean up there.

That is very classy and I hope it sounds just as good as it looks! Love that sparkle :)
 
And a ramp on the fretless?

You have to have at least one with a whammy, right?

And yes sir on the bass ramp. Just added it last weekend. It really helps me move my hand position between the pick-ups for better sounds. And Gold LaBella Flats on the fretless.

I might let my daughter go crazy with some Anime related acrylic painting, but for now it's staying clear.

Beautiful looking natural wood jazz, and nicely lightweight too! -And when you replace the knobs, I'll buy those old ones offa you... ?
 
Whenever my partner tells me I have too many basses, I will show her THIS photo. :D
:laugh::laugh:does it work? Mine say they are like art and actually doesn't mind them. She's the worst enabler ever. I'm the one that keeps it in check if you can call it that. I allow myself one/get one for every year clean and sober. I was at the right number (22) but I sold 2 to help her pay for her new car. She's cool to me so...
