Recently bought a Fender AVRI ‘75 jazz, long drive for it, played ok, needed some adjustment to suit me, deal done The neck had too much relief in it, but truss rod was really tight. Only a few weeks earlier I had read in this group about somebody having the same problem, with the same bass they had just recently bought A quick search shows this to be a fairly common issue with a well known fix involving washers So I took the neck into work, it helps that I run two engineering workshops, one being a machine shop Thread size is 10 unf, so got a bush machined with internal diameter to fit that size thread and outer diameter same as ‘the bullet’ Had a couple made in stainless steel, 3mm and 4.5mm long Back clamped the neck slightly, fitted bush and bullet onto truss rod with a small blob of clear grease, tightened up slightly and left over night The desired effect was achieved, stringing with 40-100, put some relief back in the neck, leaving it exactly where I would have liked it! Opening up an M4 washer is what people normally do, but when you can do a proper job, it’s worth the effort Should of took some photos I know! Tony

I’ve got a Sei jazz and I’m in Manchester, but I guess you are looking for one of their more unique designs?

Bridge is staying! I know the original is correct for year but the badass is a good change in this bass and something I’ve done in the past

Really liking this, not had a maple board on a bass for around 20 years

I picked up a 2005 75 AVRI at weekend, not weighed it, but feels good to me, estimate it at around 9 Sounds great really nice neck on a 75, I think a 74 is chunkier, but same width, whilst I was looking, I also looked at Japanese 70’s jazz basses, noticed some have correct pick up spacing for 70’s and some don’t, probably depends when made a few things to consider when looking at these basses Tony

Afternoon its been a. While since I did a NBD thread! Been waiting for this for a while as they don’t come up for sale too often Fender AVRI 75 jazz 5 1/2 hr round trip this morning to collect this, well worth it Owned from new by previous owner and looks like it just came out of the factory, all covers included as is the original bridge serial number dates it to 2005 Currently sat in my lounge whilst the trusts settles down Tony

Really sad news, didn't know him personally but he's been around BC and contributed for many years Tony
