This is a cream MIM standard Jazz that started out with a white pickguard and rounds. Pretty straight up. After slapping on this for a few years the strings started to get old and I neglected it for my other basses. I brought it to Pasadena bass day and during Andrew Gouche's clinic he told me I was way past due on changing my strings and when Gouche talks, you listen.
After reading a couple of TB forums, especially the photoshop your bass and confessions of a flatwound convert, I was inspired to put a tort pickguard and Labella flatwounds on my Jazz. Now, this bass is straight up class!
This bass is gorgeous now and the flats sound amazing! I also have a lakland 55-02, an Ibby SR 506, an Ibby AEB 10 and an upright, but I'm feeling like this one might go from least played to most. Thanks to you guys out there in TB land for giving me the idea to breath new life into this former bench warmer.
