Definitely agree bh2 on the tort issue. Seen that Sonic Blue Jazz a few times and always think it looks great. Kind of thinking of going Seafoam and rosewood at the moment. Ash body from Guitarbuild came in the post today, but missed it so probably pick it up this weekend. Stoked!

Looks great man, good job

Thanks all so far! Yellowcar - agreed that the OTM isn't as good as it could be. It seems to be a pretty difficult colour to capture just right. Pastel's currently winning - I'm unsure which way I'd go with that. I love the Seafoam and Surf Greens, so probably that way. Keep votes coming, build thread to follow in a few months!

A tort guard!?

[quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1405373268' post='2501425'] All of those colors look fantastic, I thing the Orange just takes it. Have you ever looked at the Peterbuilt facebook page? that man knows how to finish a bass...

Hi all, I've slowly been collecting odds and sods to make a bitsa Jazz and thoughts have turned to the finish. Going to go with a spray can nitro job, but can't decide on the colour. So I thought I'd see what my bass playing brothers have to say. At the moment, I'm considering a few options. Here we go... Capri Orange with maple neck with blocks - [currently winning in my head!] [URL=http://smg.photobucket.com/user/goat_punisher/media/tumblr_mf7ms6xU1U1rzh2fro1_500_zpsfdcb4194.jpg.html][IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v292/goat_punisher/tumblr_mf7ms6xU1U1rzh2fro1_500_zpsfdcb4194.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Ocean Turquoise Metallic with dot and bound rosewood neck & matching headstock [pic is faded LPB, but you get the idea] [URL=http://smg.photobucket.com/user/goat_punisher/media/01585_front_zps7a6d203b.jpg.html][IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v292/goat_punisher/01585_front_zps7a6d203b.jpg[/IMG][/URL] One of the Fender pastel colours with a dot and bound rosewood neck and matching headstock [URL=http://smg.photobucket.com/user/goat_punisher/media/f12jb1007full_zpsc8b551b2.jpg.html][IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v292/goat_punisher/f12jb1007full_zpsc8b551b2.jpg[/IMG][/URL] This will be my first spray finish, so thinking I may want to avoid the metallic as that can be a bit trickier it would seem. Any advice, tips, do's and don't do's would be appreciated! Cheers folks.

Dot and bound necks and matching headstocks Great bass!

Off the top of my head, the Geddy does, the '75 reissue and the '70's' reissue. Companies like Warmoth can also do custom bodies with 70's pickup spacing.

Aye, she looks a cracker alright! Can't beat a bitsa Jazz. One thing, not sure if the pickups are 70's spacing. If anything, they look even further apart than that. I had a Geddy Lee body [with 70#s spacing] and it didn't look that far between each pup. Might just be my eyes though. Rock it!

As a fan of Weezer, Gibson G-3's and Big Muffs, this is SUPER! Rock on fella!
