Hi all, still here, happy to take extra pix.. just let me know what you want. Also been asked.'. I referred to it but yes there's a matching Jazz VM White/Maple/Black inlays/tort with US pups, knobs, CTS pots Us wiring and Hipshots.. only diff is I mod'd the headstock with a '62 US Jazz decal and re-sprayed/finished slightly antique amber gloss.. same price...pix on PM with email address.
Just want to clarify.. I'm doing this as I recently bought a G&L L2500 so no need of gear... EXCEPT... Nice laptop (15.6 slimline) with poss. cash from me would work against either/both...
I LOVE this site... 'Tangents 'R' us' or did I get that wrong????
Tight, sonically, if you pardon the expression... I found changing the pup made the difference, all now 'balanced' across the strings. Personal perhaps, but i previously found the B a little soft/weak. the USA pup sorted that... not a dramatic output or general tonal transformation but more a tightening up/focusing/evening of what goes on.. sorry if this sound s a bit ephemeral but that's how i see it.
Did the same for my VM jazz (also up for sale) and basically same results.

The serial prefix of ‘N’ dates it to 1970
Plating is generally in good condition for the year; there is some wear and a few small marks but nothing serious. Recently cleaned. Valves work smoothly.
These are renowned for being IN YOUR FACE if you want to do that. Lead trumpet par excellence.

Hi ya, if it helps, and you don't have a fix by then, I'll be in Newcastle on the 20th Feb... still some wiggle room price wise, taking up space, I'm reliably informed by someone who knows better, that could be better used...
I have a fretless version of this (0118) with the same EQ... the neck is to die for and the sound palette is the only thing I've ever used that's can do all a Wal can and more... seriously cheap for what you get.
I have a 5 string fretless recurve... to my mind, there's is nothing better. Different, yes. better? Yet to be convinced. Stunning basses: you so won't be disappointed.
