    A JV type bump
  3. ash
    Some interest but no firm offers yet.

    The bass has all the JV identifiers on the neck plate, neck pocket and neck itself plus the pencilled date on the neck butt.

    It is the above bass and I've decided to keep it for now. I played this at a gig recently and really enjoyed how it played and got great comments on its sound. I got a bit negative about the bass because when it arrived it needed some repairs doing and the attitude of the seller was unsupportive and upsetting. Having spent some time and money on it I've bonded with it again for the time being. I'm always open to the temptation of a nice Telecaster though!

    [quote name='GarethFlatlands' timestamp='1344015692' post='1758837'] Got some interest in my Les Paul so it's a race to see if I can get the cash to be able to try it out before it goes... [/quote] Good luck with the sale then, plenty of interest so far but nothing on the table so to speak!

    I had a 5 string version, they play well but don't have the classic Jazz sound to my ears.

    [quote name='Kev' timestamp='1343947150' post='1757850'] That looks fantastic! [/quote] And it's fantastic to hear and play too!

    [quote name='KiOgon' timestamp='1343929362' post='1757521'] Now I understand, thanks for that, does look good, colour me tempted [/quote] Quite a few are tempted it appears! I must say the ebony board is superb to play and the bass has a very 'natural' sound for an active.

    Well Geoff I turned the bridge round as suggested and it's a much better angle. The feet aren't too flush to the top however it certainly feels firmer and much 'safer' to play. Thanks for your advice and sorry noojb if I hijacked your thread somewhat!

    [quote name='KiOgon' timestamp='1343927044' post='1757478'] I like this a lot! Can you tell me what the first mod is? What am I missing? If the second mod is the pick ups? Sorry if I'm being thick but I keep reading it & don't get it Oh yeah - where's the battery fitted? Cheerz, John [/quote] Hiya John, The first mod is the fretboard, as to my knowledge there weren't any factory fretless JVs. I bought it like this and it had been professionally fitted years back. The battery is under the scratch plate in the control cavity and is held in place with foam. The EMGS pots are slightly smaller so it fits quite snugly. Cheers

    [quote name='Higgie' timestamp='1343880732' post='1756751'] I think you should give this to me for free as a birthday present... Just throwing that out there. [/quote] You'd be very lucky mate..... I'd do you a swap for your JV though

    [quote name='geoffbassist' timestamp='1343919610' post='1757350'] The writing is on the bridge. It faces towards the fingerboard/neck. Not the spike/tailpiece. It may not actually have any writing on but normally it's the name of the person who fitted the bridge or the maker of the bridge. [/quote] I actually meant 'the writing facing the tailpiece' not facing the bridge sorry typo!

It may not actually have any writing on but normally it's the name of the person who fitted the bridge or the maker of the bridge. [/quote] When I got my bass the writing was facing down towards the tailpiece and the angle of the bridge is slightly forward towards the fingerboard end, the pickup is fitted to enable this too. So that is incorrect then? Cheers

    I thought that the writing had to be facing toward the bridge? It happened to me recently and frightened me and the cat out of our wits! Perhaps that's where I'm going wrong however - http://www.musictrader.com/fittingabridge.pdf I read that in the above article which is quite useful.

    I sold mine on here recently for half of that and mine - although modded - had a famous former owner and was in a very rare finish, so yes I think this is optimistic for a niche albeit lovely looking bass.
