Took apart my 72 Jazz and found this....

Sorry friend...can't "feel your pain". Just learned a good friend is in the fight of her life...only thing that might help is a stem cell transplant. Makes your little rant seem petty and insignificant, to say the least.

 

[Fletz]

How do you think you got that awesome tone for all those years?

 

[JoeWPgh]

Actually, I have a Rascal bass with a strat pickup in that position. It definitely helps the shortie deliver some thump.

Sorry about your friend, but....really?

 

[Rugmaster]

Wow.

Uh, ok.
Working with the National Marrow Donor Program and Five Points of Life I happen to be an authority on stem cell (marrow, cord blood, etc.) transplants. If your friend is in Florida like you her doctor should contact LifeSouth. They are based in Gainesville and are one of the only public cord blood banks in the nation. Check out lifecord.org for more info. Hope she pulls through.

Don't Sweat it, So your bass has a past.

Thank you. She's actually up in MA. She mentioned the Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston. Sorry if I came off so harsh. I had just got off the phone with her and was more than a little upset. No excuse though for lashing out and being rude. My sincere apologies.

Wow.... wth? Sorry about your friend and wish her the best, but the OP's post is totally significant on THIS forum... :-/ Now had he posted his Jazz Bass woes on a stem cell forum then yes, that's a different story....

 

[tbplayer59]

What if you had taken that pickguard off and found a couple hundred dollar bills in that rout that someone had stashed back in the 70s? You could vomit and then swallow your own vomit.

 

[Atshen]

It's always funny when on page 6 or 7 of a thread like this, some genius comes in and says "That looks like a routing for a SCPB!"

Also, removing what is barely three cubic inches of wood won't affect the weight of an instrument much...

Now GET OFF MY LAWN!

 

[jwilson67]

Based on the OP this is how I think it went down when he found the extra pickup route

This is pretty accurate.

This has to be one of the most mature things I've ever seen on the forum. @Joedog ***** all over this thread and the OP, who @Joedog was lashing out at provided him with useful information.

 

[MobileHolmes]

I'm not sure why you would put a strat pickup in a Jazz, but heck, It seems like the bass has many a story to tell,
But it was a rare occasion such as this that he did.

 

[petrus61]

Argh...NOT A STRAT PUP ROUTE. Let's just get that out of the way 8 pages later, lol.

Mature? Me? That's a first!

Agreed, that was a cool move OP.

At first before I opened the thread I thought it was going to be another 'worry doll' in the truss tod route.
