The very long story of a made in Japan Fender Jazz 66 RI
Kempy535 replied to Kempy535's topic in Build Diaries
Heard back from Nordstrand last night and i quote "John has inspected the pickups and these are quite old, a bit tampered with, and otherwise quite dead! So, I'll have a new set sent your way on Monday, and will get you tracking information after the weekend." So my new pickups were not new and not working when they were sent to me as well as tampered with. Not a happy bunny. Still nothing back from the seller so i suspect he was well aware of this. This is the first bad trade i have had through the forum. Awesome service from Nordstrand tho. If they sound as good as the customer service has been I will be super happy -

[quote name='owen' timestamp='1435862886' post='2813211'] Is there anything finer than CAR with a matching headstock on a Jazz? [/quote] Lake Placid Blue maybe Thanks for the bump you have reminded me to chase Nordstrand. Pickups have been with them a month and no updates so far -

Kempy535 replied to christhammer666's topic in General Discussion
[quote name='bartelby' timestamp='1435088592' post='2805401'] I've never listened to those albums. I've heard a couple of songs off each, but never the whole albums. Maybe I should... I bet you'd have been able to hear the bass on Justice is Cliff had still been around! [/quote] Load is a great album. I know it got loads of flack at the time but its one of my favourite albums. Jason is a great player. -
Interesting article on state of things at Gibson

[quote name='skankdelvar' timestamp='1435156686' post='2806036'] [size=3]Gibson commission $2m diamond-covered SG. Looks arse, probably has fret sprout .[/size] [/quote] If you were a player with 2 million to spend you will be buy a 1959 LP not that piece of junk. If you are russian/arab/lewis hamiltion you will be buying this. Sadly i guess there is a market for this type of stuff other wise they wouldnt be building it -

Steve Harris sig. model vs Fender P bass MIM, which one to get?
Kempy535 replied to SH73's topic in Bass Guitars
[quote name='SH73' timestamp='1433705395' post='2793284'] I have seen this one before but not sure about the reliability of item being genuine,actually sent to me. [/quote] I'd have no issue ordering from that guy. His advert is done better than 90% of the ones in basschat. Neck stamps look correct for that model. Great feedback as well. Also have a look at these guys I have seem them offer a steve harris before, I have order maybe 6 or 7 bass guitars through them now. First class service every time.

[quote name='gary mac' timestamp='1432391552' post='2781114'] Nice collection Kempy [/quote] Thanks Gary. I think i might have to squeeze a P bass in there and there are still a couple of Jazz bass i want

The very long story of a made in Japan Fender Jazz 66 RI
Kempy535 replied to Kempy535's topic in Build Diaries
Not sure yet. Its a poly finish so convincing relic work is impossible. I plan to nitro white primer over the bare wood and try and feather the blend line. This might make the wear look more convincing. I will also use cutting compound again to remove the sanding lines. I have a compressor here so maybe ill strip and try spraying the whole thing. Probably CAR or Lake Placid blue Id like the hard wear to look like this but I am undecided how to go about this [url=https://flic.kr/p/stxEvJ][/url][url=https://flic.kr/p/stxEvJ]Fender Jazz Bass 1962 RI[/url] by [url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/kempy535/]kempy535[/url], on Flickr Firstly id like to play the damn thing -
