Hey all,

I recently got a Fender Roadworn 3TSB jazz in a trade. I also have a Limelight jazz that had an aged dual concentric pot set-up on, so I swapped the control plates over, bought the Fender grounding bits and bobs, added mute holes (so far as I can see they are within tolerance, a fair few differing examples on t'web) and tweaked the position of the rear pickup to get the pole pieces alinged ;).

So now after a little bit of effort I think it's more in keeping with a 1960/61 jazz B),

Peace.

Can you post some more photos of your Jazz?

Now I can. Just had to take some.

















This bass has a quite interesting history. It was painted white over the original sunburst finish. The former owner then removed the white laquer by literally polishing it away with 10000 grain sanding pads, which took several months.

That's stunning, same year and look as my Precision, if you ever want to sell it I would definitely be interested.

Guys, I hope you don't mind me coming in here (as I'm usually in the Warwick thread) and asking this. I have just bought a Fender American Deluxe 5 string and it turns out the bridge pickup is mangled (N3 noiseless). Do any of you lovely Jazzers know of anywhere which may be a good option to look for a single bridge pickup or may have one spare they may wish to part with? I can then add some photos of it to this thread once it's back up and running!
Thanks!

This is my Chinese special in Lake Placid blue. Bidy came from a poor attempt by our Asian fruends to clone the James Johnson sig Jazz. Neck is actually quite nice - slightly reshaped the headstock, and converted it to a bullet truss rod (by cutting down a bullet truss nut, attaching a small section of allen key if the correct size for the neck, and adding more than a dash of luck... sits nice and snug, operates the truss fine, avoids stripped truss nut!). Cheap chinese minipots and wire binned in favour of CTS pots, fender knobs and Switchcraft jack. Fitted with Entwistle JBXN's in neck and bridge. Set of 60's style tuners from an old lawsuit bass. Aftermarket bridge and neck ashtrays to top it off. The Entwistles are rather hot!
