    Is it flat-backed?

    Does a bass like that Vigier come with every shirt purchase?

    [quote name='mentalextra' timestamp='1372096694' post='2121566'] Did Jaco own the bass from brand new? [/quote] No, it's a '62 and he bought it in the early 70's already converted as a fretless and then had it fixed up to his preference. He says it was already beat up when he got it. He smashed it on stage while playing with John McLaughlin. A luthier rebuilt it, finishing it with a veneer. I prefer his '60 fretted jazz which some old dude now owns. Im surprised Fender don't want to buy it for their museum or ask for access to measure/photograph it for a more accurate Custom Shop replica.

    That looks excellent.
  5. sblueplanet
    Yep. That's a looker.

    My brother was looking at this but prefers a proper case for his basses. Do the hard-shell cases made for the Synapse model available via Thomann fit the L2 and XL2?

    Looks real nice. Good luck with the sale.

    I went one step further. I put a righty anodised guard onto my lefty mij. Because its single-ply I just flipped it over. Only a couple of small mis-alignments.

    Could this technique be used to remove surface scratches from a Steinberger?
  10. sblueplanet
    What is the handling power?
  11. sblueplanet
    Beautiful looking bass and photographs too. Must resist......

    [quote name='Stacker' timestamp='1371500011' post='2114780'] Thanx. We're all entitled to our views on pricing but maybe not on a sale thread. No hard feelings. [/quote] Absolutely not. Totally forgot it was a sale thread I was babbling in.

    Well, wasn't me guv'nor.

    I have a black Ray34 but would prefer the smaller SB14 model but they don't make a lefty model.
  15. sblueplanet
    For a truly 'green' experience, never run it above 40°c. Should still be plenty loud.

    Amazing! I bet Summers himself would happily play this one. He actually used one of his CS replicas during the Police reunion tour as the original is now too fragile and valuable. I have a lefty Fender jazz body needing a refin if you do commissions?

    I have two J basses. One is about average weight but the other is very light and hence my favourite 'go to' bass.
  18. sblueplanet
    Next you'll be suggesting taking it along to one of the city centre guitar stores so I can play it.
  19. sblueplanet
    More pics would be good.
  20. sblueplanet
    Looks like a copy to me too.
  21. sblueplanet
    Great looking and sounding bass and a very reasonable price this won't be around for long.

    [quote name='Rasta' timestamp='1370550924' post='2102690'] Yeah I've just stacked mine, Fender USA 2000 Jazz (i think). I love the tonal variation with having tone control on each pick up....far superior to the one tone in my opinion. I get a lovely soul warm tone with the bridge tone rolled off but the neck tone up....yeah two tone all the way . [/quote] Liking the 'go faster' stripes too.

    [quote name='ezbass' timestamp='1370465975' post='2101528'] I believe our very own Bass Doc can sort you, drop him a line. [/quote] We've spoken now. Cheers.
  24. sblueplanet
    Does anyone currently have a stack knob jazz? How does it compare to the standard for tonal variation?
  25. sblueplanet
    Yes Ed, that is me but I am seated in that photo! The angle also makes my Warwick Thumb look like a broadneck! I never had much issue playing my righty L2 upside down. I would just imagine that the pivot has the design it has for a reason thus the interest in owning a proper lefty.
