You son of a gun.... Where's that ignore link when you need it? I know it's here somewhere....

Well, sometimes I forget too.

That's about the only J I would ever play. Mostly because it's the right color. I'm shallow that way.

I was thinking, egad. it’s a J. But Will would like it.

 

[Blazer]

I'll say!

Dang that thing is AWESOME!

You really don't see those Fender Long horns all that much.

 

[MCF]

Thanks dude, wanna see the bass in question?

Made it from a piece of construction lumber I bought at a local hardware store, the Pickup comes from a Fender Sting Signature bass and the dead strings give it this really cool "OOMPH".

You’re not Kidding. Right? So cool.

hummm... a bit of hair-splitting there Jeff... As you are well aware, any "J clone" references a Fender Jazz Bass.

So true Geo.
I was trying to be politically correct here in some form or another.

Love it! Proves once again it's not always what is being played - but how it's being played. The ideal location of the pu installed is also key to a great bass sound.

The TB Club mod seems really cool.

Yep. But we’ve learned our lesson.

Idk, Not 100% as of yet.

Been here since 2010 and anything goes, even toes.

Thanks! I love my A/S J - even before I modded it. They are usually affordable when they come up for sale as hard-core (read; conservative) Fender-fanboys hate it.

This is what it looked like originally -

You're playing bass with the Radiators!

Can we be sure he isn't playing the radiator with a bass?

I copied the shape from this no name sixties made guitar.

Looked way cool but sounded and played terrible.

Very much a big sister to the love of my life.

This is my 1989 Squier Strat "The Veteran", which I bought new in 1991 on my 15'th birthday. And although you wouldn't be able to tell at first glance, I modified the tar out of her. In fact, the only remaining original part is her body.

So what's the switch (in place of a tone pot) for?

Did someone say Wenge?

Wow, what a beautiful grain.

 

[BklynKen]

I always dig a good J.

Ahem?

 

[JJR58]

Ahem?

Close maybe, but no Cubano.

@BklynKen I noticed that Jeff Genzler is in Brooklyn and also an active TB member. Might prove fruitful to contact him about some kind of trial of the 4 On The Floor if interested.

From what i understand.
JG is a good guy.

I hope that ahem was clear. They're not all sexual.
