Picked up this 2020 70s Jazz this afternoon for a steal. Removed the cover & rest but kept the Badass II. I might put a tort guard on it plus some Model J pickups to boot.. decisions decisions
Oh and guess I should pick up some Rotosounds. Heh

I built a project bass out of a VM Jazz body and a CV P-bass neck a while ago, then loaded it with DiMarzio Area J's and new pots. Mostly stock hardware, except for Allparts "threaded" steel saddles.Cross-post from the Classic Vibe Club-

I think it was just one of those lucky combo things, but it was and is one of the nicest-sounding Jazz basses I've ever heard.
I'm not a big 4-string guy or a Jazz fan, but it's probably the only project bass I've ever regretted selling. A buddy still uses it as his main recording instrument.
Awesome! I may actually give some Area J’s a spin with this one- I’ve never tried a set of those myself. Thanks for the reminder! Did you use 250k pots?

Newest configuration. I'm hoping I'll let this one be together forever........
1985 MIJ body, 2018 Steve Harris neck and Fralin 5% overwind pups. weighs 8 lb. 4.1 oz.

Weighs a lot less than an actual Steve Harris signature. You did good!
Sold something off, got this- it's an edition of something I've always wanted but couldn't afford... Epiphone came through via Fujigen Japan, which happening has fortuitously happened upon me.
It's heavy, has a neck like an old hand-railing, dives like a stone and has a beautifully murky, but deep and punchy low end. I really dig this bass...

THAT is one of the coolest basses from the 70s (70s, right?).My new (old) MPC Outlaw.
Whenever it came about, it's badass. To say nothing of it's wielder... (Very badass).
Every bass gets a trophy.
So that's where they've all gone...
It's the best p bass I own. The neck is insane.

Exquisite! I want to smell it.
Yeehaw and sheeyut howdy! Busted out Bunkhouse Bob today for some Conway Twitty. Not really, I played snotty stuff fast with a pick. I was kidding. But I do like Bunkhouse Bob.
It smells like a fresh coat of F one and G one at the moment
