Well, had a jaunt down to Preston today to meet up with @ead and take possession off this CIJ Geddy it's lovely it really is, had an hour or so playing it & the old arthritic didgits never complained once..what a difference with such a slim neck really a joy to play now. 🙂

Just finished putting this one together.

It’s a Fender Flea ‘61 neck on a Squier CV body with Lindy Fralin pick-up’s and a custom stack pot control plate by @KiOgon with series/parallel switching. Refin by David Wilson based on an Aged Ice Blue Metallic Custom Shop Precision I came across.

I really like the originals. Well made and sound great. I have a 60"s version in red.

The covers were aftermarket,    but they're being replaced  with Barts very soon. Next week according to Thomann

The switches are a passive/active, and the other is used to either have a blend of both pups equally, when in passive, or bridge pup only when in passive

here is a rare one, its like a big yummy lollypop, gorgeous enough to lick, though looking a bit battered now active electrics with warwick thumb bass gold active mec pickups, controls are....vol, pan, B&T stack, sound is crispy and bright very similar to marcus's sound, not very tight at the bottom though so for bottom end punch i use the G&L which just kills it, but for the slappy stuff, in a mix it can cut heads off, super thin frets, nice orig offset body, 62 jazz neck with very thin nut end, of all the jazz basses i have and have had this is by far the best neck, super low action, 100, 80, 60,40 nickles, fotoflame hamburgler is present, and it plays as good as it looks. though its going to have a new body soon.IMG_0506.thumb.JPG.2c70ce34d411e713e824b891a6da4257.JPGIMG_0502.thumb.JPG.64a98f73496d0d38185187da2bc2f3da.JPGIMG_0501.thumb.JPG.c1a44b8c1952afc2e164c34df82170b0.JPG

This is my '99 Am Deluxe JB. I  had it passivized a few months ago since I'd never been a fan of its preamp. I have since loaded it with a pair of Lollar 70's and oh my did that make a difference!

It had originally white pickguard which I painted with car spray paint, and also put in  a black control plate.
