I've just got a Gotoh 201 to go on my Squier VM Jazz.I expected to be a totally solid unit,but was intrigued to find that the chunky bit at the back,you know where the logo is,is in fact hollowed out. I have a bridge that I took off an old Legend Jazz copy,which is roughly the same same design as the 201 and it is a solid piece of metal.I expected the Gotoh to be the same.Is this normal for the Gotoh,or is something amiss?

I've just bought a VM Jazz off a fellow 'chatter and I'm over the moon with it.It looks impressive,feels nice and sounds good.It's slightly heavy though,but I guess thats a personal thing.I've got a Gotoh 201 bridge on order for it,just to finish it off,as well as a series/parallel push-pull pot (!).Definitely a keeper.

Just concluded a deal with Steve for a beautiful Squier VM Jazz.Great from start to finish.Over t'moon with the bass.Good guy to deal with.

I like it,but I like the red Marshall amps and speakers that it's leaning against.I had a red 50 watt stack back in the early 70's that I dragged around the Continent for 4 years.Never let me down.That was the last time I saw one.Unusual Ricky tho' I must say.

Paypal is the safest bet.It will convert his Canadian dollars to Sterling,and you will receive payment in Sterling.

SHUTTLE???Oh the amplifier..........You know,for a minute there I thought........then I thought,nah. I'll get my coat.

The solo from the middle of "Bouree" by Jethro Tull.Glen Cornick magic!

Why is everybody SHOUTING? I'm scared!

Joe Egan (half of Stealers Wheel)-Out Of Nowhere.....Nice!

I agree.The Bb is right.It does clash with the guitar,which should be playing a B,but it still works as an instantly catchy bassline.

[quote name='andy67' post='281288' date='Sep 10 2008, 05:55 PM']What a journey! cool you got both though! Just noticed it has a fender precision decal, I recognise it as I bought one of the same myself recently. I would take it off and get the right Jazz one. I'm sure I've still got the email/website address of this particular manufacturer (decal) give me a shout if you want too. andy[/quote] I'm glad my Bass is going to somebody who really wants it!The thing is,it really is a Precision,but I've seen a lot of comments both on this forum as well as Talkbass,that it can't be a P bass because it has J type pups.It has a P bass body,and scratchplate,albeit with different cutouts,so if nothing else,it's a conversation piece,a bit of an oddity if you like and I suppose a Jazz decal would add to that.But she's(all basses are female,by the way)definitely a Precision.

Everything OK bridge-wise?Does it happen on all strings,or just one?

Check out the rest of his stuff!

Jase,I hunted through the book"The Fender Bass:an illustrated history" and could find no reference to such a beast.I must admit,it looks pretty sharp.Think I'll go for it!

I have FrankenJazz bass,sunburst,tort pickguard,rosewood fingerboard,the works.I really like this bass but I feel that the neck is not as good as it could be.I've seen a neck on the Bay,but heres the problem.It's maple,with maple fingerboard and dot inlays.Has anyone ever seen a Jazz with this combination.I'm trying to imagine what it might look like.Any sunburst Jazz with a maple fingerboard usually has block inlays,but I've never seen one with dots.Thoughts anybody?Is there anybody out there who's good at Photoshop who could provide a sort of preview?Cheers guys.
