My Jazz with lined Status neck.

Hmmmm - just having a serious think about what I need to keep and what is actually duplicated or surplus to requirements. This one isn't going up for sale just yet, but in the next week or two it might become available. I'll keep y'all posted in the Marketplace.

Having never changed pick-ups before not sure where to start. The EMG's are active so i guess they come with an active circuit board and control knobs. What pick up model number as there seems to be a raft of options to choose from. Does it come as a kit. ? Would appreciate any advice. Cheers Dave[/quote] No circuit board. My EMG J set came with pickups and a wired up harness with the pots and jack socket. I had to solder the pickup cables to the pots, but now I think they come with "quick connect" cables. You just need to mount the pots, connect the pickups and controls up, clip in a battery and you're done (no ground to bridge needed). [url="http://www.emgpickups.com/products/index/60/25/2"]http://www.emgpickups.com/products/index/60/25/2[/url] Go for these if you like the EMG "active" sound, but not if you want a more traditional passive Jazz tone. These are different beasts to conventional Jazz pickups.

I totally agree! Green is a much under-used colour option.

Thanks man! Glad you like the basses and the band.

Basschatter Stag saw this bass in another thread and PM’d me to ask if I would say a bit more about it. So… I bought a new MIM Jazz in 2004 with the intention of tarting it up a bit. It was a nice player when I got it but I wanted a more modern vibe, so it got the active EMGs (J set) and a Badass II pretty much straight away, along with a change from W/B/W to B/W/B pickguard. A couple of years later I picked up a Geddy Lee Jazz and loved the neck but wasn’t over enthusiastic about the rest of the bass. So, the necks got swapped and I sold the Geddy with the MIM neck (rosewood board) on here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=103758"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=103758[/url] I call what I have left my “reverse Geddy” and it’s a corker – very fast and snappy player, perfect for slap stuff, with a modern tone, loads of clarity and very full range responsiveness (that’ll be the EMGs, then). Here it is again in all its glory:

I'd come to that - weekend would obviously be best, preferably Saturday for me. I'm only about an hour up the M40/M42/M6 from there. I don't have any gigs in September and with the timescale we work to it's unlikely any will come in now - boohoo. Will there be beer?

We always have clothes on hand for deps, including the infamous Expresso Bongo "dep's trousers". Now those really ARE eye-watering.
