Yes indeed that's one of the three voicings. I've not heard a 'that's the sound in my head' demo yet though. - Yesterday

Ken Smith Black Tiger 5 String. Neck through. USA bass.
hiram.k.hackenbacker replied to Papabull's topic in Basses For Sale
I keep coming back to this fabulous looking bass, just cos it's awesome really and it is the 5 string black version of my 4 string white. I've not played it obviously, but I'd lay a fair amount of money it's an absolute beast of a bass. The only thing that's stopping me is that, as age creeps on, my hands aren't what they were. My go to 5 is a custom shorter scale which I am fully synced with. If I was 10 years younger, I would have snapped this beauty up. In fact, I can't really understand why it hasn't sold yet.

This is interesting, it's the measured response curves of the SVT212. Obviously ignore the top end because we won't be using a tweeter but the bottom end shows a similar roll off to your speakers in a 90l cab, It rolls off really quite high from 150Hz but also quite gradually so it is around -10db @ 50Hz. There's a big drop in everything at around 1300 Hz, which I'm guessing is the crossover. The red line is the response straight ahead and the colours are off axis. You cvan see how much the mids are lost off axis and this is increased because of the sideways displacement of the speakers. You get quite a lot of off axis fall off anyway due to the size of the 12" drivers but the cab is over 600mm wide so it's like having a 24" driver rather than a 12. Above 2,000Hz you are looking at the response of the horn which isn't relevant if you are building a tweeterless cab. I'm not a purist in these things, if you've tried the SVT and love the sound then you can build something like a horn free SVT. Without a horn the off axis problems will be worse but if you tried it with the horn turned off and still liked it then that's clearly somethign that doesn't worry you. If you want a cab the same width as your amp but with the speakers in line then you can do that too and it will be slightly easier to hear yourself on stage.

The guitars I've built myself, bone. The guitars & basses I've bought? Not a clue without looking, and certainly nothing I'd lose sleep over though

Selling this bass as I originally picked it up as a backup to my main touring 4 string, a white MM with all the same mods. They’re both great basses but I don’t have as much need for a direct duplicate as I used to and it’s too good to be sat around not being played. I had it re sprayed with this smokey black burst which maintains the look of the natural grain. It’s picked up some nicks and scuffs which I’ve pictured. I love the way it looks and sad to let it go. The neck has a beautiful flame to it and it and the fretboard are unblemished. Fitted with a John East MM preamp, hipshot drop tuner and schaller style strap locks, otherwise all original and in great condition. Will ship in UK for £30 or meet in London area. Open to offers and happy to answer any questions. Thanks! James

Yeah, looks like they've stuck a spaghetti-type decal on it, as mentioned by SurroundedByManatees above, which was never used on a Jazz, only P-basses up until the mid-60s transition period. P.s. as far as I know, it was always a waterslide decal on top of the lacquer until they brought in the TV logo at the end of the 60s, after which they nitro lacquered over the top of it, hence why most well-used late 60s-70s fender headstocks have gone brown over time.
