LawrenceH Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Is that a Jap RI with 70s PU spacing?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubinga5 Posted January 6, 2012 Author Share Posted January 6, 2012 it is a 75.. but the spacing (for some reason) is set at the 60's position on the MIJ jazz basses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaggy Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 (edited) My favourite look for a Jazz; natural ash with pearl blocks on maple. With a bit of aging patina that'll look even sweeter... I once saw one just like that (actual '70's) with a chrome Gibson humbucker installed at the neck position - sounds wrong, but looked perfect Edited January 7, 2012 by Shaggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawrenceH Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 [quote name='bubinga5' timestamp='1325893862' post='1489669'] it is a 75.. but the spacing (for some reason) is set at the 60's position on the MIJ jazz basses [/quote] But, that bass you are showing looks like 70s spacing, not 60s hence my rather surprised question - it's hard to tell from photos so I may well be wrong. I have seen only one 75RI Jap jazz (that wasn't a Geddy or a Marcus) that had 70s spacing before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] You know I thought the bridge pick up looked to be in the 70s position too when I first looked. It does indeed look 70s. i judge it by how the pick up is pointing at the tone knob on a 70s and more at the bridge pick up volume knob on a 60s. Lovely bass either way. Frank.

bubinga5 Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 oh maybe im wrong.. i hope its 70's position Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bass Doc Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 You'll be happy to know that's definitely 70s position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swanbrook Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Beautiful colour combo if I was to buy another jazz that's how it would look right there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
