What would be your ideal jazz bass?

[svtb15]

My Ideal J bass would be to find my stolen "L" series Lake Placid Blue 60s J

 

[BassGuyFL]

Mine would be a 5 string version of Geddy's red CS with a dinky body.

 

[redcloud]

How about a Dingwall Super J4?

 

[JonahTheAmazing]

A teams red over a flamed maple top, and cream colored pickup covers. or fiesta red.

This is my dream Jazz... And Lucky for me they already Make it with everything i want!!! AM Jazz Deluxe Ash with N3 Pickups Active/Passive with passive tone control, Black Pickguard, Black bonded fretboard edges with the black pearl inlays...Pretty much a Modern V string 75 jazz!!! Sexy as Hell!!!There is nothing More to add they did it already for me!!

 

[johnk_10]

for me, this:

 

[Vagabond]

Here goes:

-24 medium jumbo frets , 34" scale, 3 piece maple headless neck w/zero fret, contoured heel, rosewood fretboard w/abalone dots
-5 strings, Steinberger (or similar) tuning system, 16.5mm spacing at the bridge
-Swamp ash body, rear routed, no pickguard, transparent black (or dark blue) finish
-2 humbucking jazz pickups, stacked volume/volume controls
-Active/Passive Preamp controls: Tone (push/pull w/treble cut in passive mode), Mids, stacked Bass/Treble (like the Nordstrand 3b-4a)

This is my main Bass, MIA Jazz bass.

I wish i could get a MIA with a rosewood board, light Swamp ash body stained nice walnut brown along with the headstock and back of neck, black pickguard and hardware!

Not that I don't love this one!

Since we are just dreaming and Fender won't come out with this package, could we throw in a matching Precision too?

 

[autodidact]

- Fender Blacktop Jazz body
- Maple neck
- Dimarzio pots
- Nordy NP4 pups

 

[Josh Pelican]

Mine would be identical to the one JohnK posted. I would also get a twin with Darkstar pickups and an Audere Z3 (or Aguilar OBP-3) preamp. Maybe fretless. Sometimes when you only want one (baby), you get two. The same can apply for basses.

Although, runner up would just be a USA Lakland Joe Osborn in Inca Silver with Chi-sonic pickups.

 

[kanonfodr]

Swamp Ash body, Mary Kay White finish, birdseye maple neck, ebony fingerboard, lined fretless. Polished brass-looking hardware, bartolini pickups, no pickguard. "The Admiral" . I will have it, one day!!!

Peace,
Greg

I'm not sure of the specs, but when I get that laid out, I'm going to have Valenti build it!
There's a lot of his previous builds that constantly get me "jazzed" for a custom bass built by him.

For now, though, this will have to suffice:

 

[RoboChrist]

for me, this:

 

[RBrownBass]

A Warmoth or USACG Dinky swamp ash body, transparent brown, 70s spacing, top routed, side jack
Black 3-ply guard
Rosewood board with binding and pearloid blocks
Nordstrand NJ4
TBD on the preamp, but with Fender Jazz-style knobs

 

[Infidelity]

An all original 60's Fiesta Red Fender Jazz Jazz w/ matching headstock.

 

[StuartV]

This one. Oh, and conveniently, I already own it.

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

 

[ghostdog93]

Lakland Joe Osborn 5 with East J-Retro electronics and Fralin pickups. Ash body. 35-inch scale. Neck binding, MOP blocks, and white pearloid pickguard would be nice. Oh, I'd like it to be pink, please.

Sweet baby Jeebus, that's hot.

I'll take a 4-stringer, TYVM.

 

[pasta4lnch]

I love my 3 color burst/ rosewood MIA J V w 1/4lbs (I'll post a pic when I get back to my comp)...if I were to do another itd be a natty ash body, Delano's, status neck, 3 hole plate V/V/Input w a black guard

 

[DanGouge]

I like my AV62 with Seymour Duncan Antiquity IIs pretty much just the way it is.

 

[prd004]

This one:

Mike Lull M4V, Swamp Ash body, Birdseye Maple Fingerboard, Lindy Fralin Pick Ups, Hipshot Ultrlite Hardware, switchable active or passive!
