Ah, I knew there might be a catch.
And mineThis is as close to a J as I can get in my collection.
(But I think of it as a Rick alternate)
Zemaitis with a set neck that feels nicely broken in. The pickups are Zemaitis Dragon-J pickups, but they are likely made by Greco since that is who builds these. They sound nice and growly.
It barely made 90 here for a few minutes. Definitely fall.
I did a thing.
We'll see if it turns out to have been a wise thing in near future.

Can I play the J game with this or the sparkly tuxedo game?
Well, speaking for myself I have only the one-

Wait. Can’t you just take it to your local GC?
I do like that Reverend.
Too much mystery! Bought the short scale?
No... though I did consider it, setting it up to play lefty would be kind of a shame, given its rarity.
Dont mind short scales in theory, though. I've got 3 and I play them regularly.

Here are my Jazzes.; a 71 and a 73. Super Slinkys on the LPB and EBCFs on the 3 burst. They are all original except for the pick ups, which died a long time ago. Replaced them with SD Antiquities, which were a hot new product at the time. The bobbins are signed by Mr. Duncan himself. I love these basses but they've been sitting in their cases for a couple of years now.
