gjones Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 (edited) I remember seeing these in music shops way back as a spotty teen and I thought they looked revolting then. It's obviously one of those marmite moments. Edited June 3, 2012 by gjones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Schoen Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Wasn't JJ Burnel's green bass antigua too? I really like that finish and think I'll buy one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBKb0iZSTfo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 (edited) [quote name='3below' timestamp='1338674124' post='1678018'] The J has dots... is the only way. Then again some like blocks, so come on Fender, you have cnc machines, the cost difference between blocks and dots is pence. Both should be offered Question is will it craze like 70s finish, and do you want crazing or not? [/quote] The 70s Antigua finish was a thick layer of gloop. It doesn't craze. [quote name='The Dark Lord' timestamp='1338670856' post='1677964'] Actually, looking at the pics, it appears that the Jazz has a bullet truss rod adjuster, but the Precision looks to have one of those awful fake truss rod adjusters. My Road Worn Strat has one of those fake paint things. Great guitar, but I feel uncomfortable about that part of it. [/quote] The Precision seems to have has a walnut truss plug, which is normal for a maple-necked 70s P...? [quote name='billyapple' timestamp='1338677621' post='1678066'] Not my thing at all. I can understand why they don't bring this finish out too often. Just Google'd Antigua, and apart from the Caribbean Island, it also means ancient in Spanish. So maybe it some sort of ancient-y antique-y finish... Looks like frosted icing to me. [/quote] IIRC, it was supposed to be a blue / grey burst. But it went wrong, and they kept it like that. [quote name='John Schoen' timestamp='1338698544' post='1678138'] Wasn't JJ Burnel's green bass antigua too?

skej21 Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 [quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1338708671' post='1678160'] By the way, here's the one I used to have: [/quote] It's amazing how much better that finish looks when the neck has block inlays... I hate the look of the new ones, but I'd be all over that like a tramp on chips! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like a perfectly good sunburst jazz died in unfortunate circumstances and then somehow came back as a weird ghost... on acid.

XB26354 Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 As WoT's pic clearly shows, the reissue jazz looks just horrible with a "brand new" maple neck and dots. It's got to be blocks. If you're going to do another pointless non-reissue at least make it look nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gafbass02 Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 I've lusted over an Antigua jazz as long as I've played, could never afford warmoth or an original so finally I have a little hope And I'd have to get some stick on blocks till I could get that neck swapped!

stingrayPete1977 Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 [quote name='Prime_BASS' timestamp='1338679081' post='1678082'] Epic win for you sir! [/quote] I work in some right dirty beggers houses and these basses remind me of a fridge door thats had grubby hands on the edges for years and years without being cleaned, I'd expect a smell of cat piss when you open the case?

lozbass Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Looks like a 'B' width on the P (good!), also a TV logo. Curiously post TV logo on the J. I agree on blocks and binding - WoT's looks glorious. As to the mucky fridge, haha, love it - just went and compared pics to mine and it's true! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EssentialTension Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Agreed it's the wrong neck but classic and not my cup of tea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Burrito Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Well for any gripes on that Jazz neck it has to be said it's a marked improvement on the noticeably greener reissues from about 10yrs ago. That GAK price is awesome. I remember Whiskeytown using one (so I assume it's the same bass player in that Ryan Adams clip?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigsmokebass Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Nice basses but I would prefer this on a better quality fender, maybe the American Special range? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 I was thinking of getting the p, just ordered one for the shop, cocks up my Jack Casady fund, but, if a goodun arrives, I'll drop some CS/Duncan pickups in and covers, and some flats. I hope people aren't sick on me, it is a bit marmite though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
