Yup, another CIJ Fender Jazz. You can buy a Japanese '75 Re Issue Jazz and pop in a preamp of some description. I always try and buy second hand and have had 2 CIJ jazzes, a USA Jazz and a bitsa. The CIJ ones IMHO were manufactured to a higher standard than the USA one and I've seen new MIM ones with neck pocked gaps in that are unacceptable! If I could I'd always go for CIJ or MIJ ones, great bang for your buck

I've managed to an extent to steam out a small gouge, always try it (soldering iron ontop of a damp cloth, hold on for 15 secs then have a peek, repeat as required). Only thing I found is that the colour of the steamed area was left a bit lighter. However I do understand about the uncompressing compressed wood bit!

Please delete post thanks.

Just sold my CIJ '62 RI Jazz to Derrick, nice guy, good comms and personally came to collect. Wouldn't hesitate to deal with again, recommended BC'er

Ah, just read this post, Huddersfield Christian Fellowship!

Just sold my 75 RI Jazz to Sam, nice bloke to have a chat with, recommended BC'er, Peace.

I've just bought the other pickguard for my '75 RI Jazz, as described and matches my new bass perfectly, cheers and recommended bc'er

Just bought Chris's '75 RI Jazz of him, nice guy to deal with and a top player too! Cheers

Hey folks, I play about once a month at a church in Huddersfield, one of 5 bassists on a rota!! Also do a bit of PA ( I can officialy roll up cables ). Contemporary stuff and occasionally I can actually slap and it fits the song, funnily enough I can't fit any in 'Father God I wonder'

I feel ill

Anybody got any thoughts on this Jazz [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230701779610"]http://cgi.ebay.co.u...em=230701779610[/url] ?

I just bought 'Band in a box' from John, had a slight oversight but all sorted out with no problems. Count Basie still keeps asking for moisturiser all the time for his dry skin but apart from that the band are swinging , Recommended BC'er.

Kurca sorted out the sale of my badass bridge to one of his friends in the Czech Republic, all sorted with no problems. Postage was as expensive to the UK as it was to the buyer (go figure ) so no worries there, recommended basschatter (and his mate too ).
