Jazz bass with two precision pickups


Recommended Posts

There's a precision bass being sold by the same seller. But, it isn't a precision bass with a single jazz pickup.

I do like the black finishes, and they make a visually interesting pair.

I wonder if there is a 'Disaster Area' bass guitar around, with black finish, black pickguard, black tuners, bridge, and nut, black nylon coated strings, and an ebony fretboard. Fretless, unless you can buy black fretwire. (It seems that you can't). Black dots.

Thats sort of what I was aiming for with my precision. But I haven't got around to swapping the Affinity neck for some a little better and blacker...

It needs to be Matt black - so no light can escape whatsoever......

I believe this is a Blacktop Jazz Bass.

Spot on mate - it is indeed a Blacktop Jazz.

I have one and its an awesome bass. Very hot sound and somewhere soundwise in between a Precision,a really fat but zingy Jazz and theres a mutant Stingray lurking in there too. Massive bottom end but a great warmth too. Its a Jazz neck BTW.

The picture angles make it look a bit odd but its a standard jazz body and neck just with different pickups.

Heres a soundclip

What would this sound like? Surely more precision than Jazz.

actually not so, because of the pickup locations.

A P pickup where the bridge J should be will sound like a J on steroids. It's great!

Slap a couple of old DiMarzio pups in there and you would have
a Serious Rockin' Bass - I always wondered why Fender didn't
think of this - looks like they got round to it!

Cheers. :)

[b]Dear hyena001,[/b]

Do you have an ACCURATE weight for this bass?

[b]Dear h4ppyjack,[/b]

No, not really. It's the standard weight of any bass guitar.

If it helps, its a bit heavier than my Spector (which is about 8.5lbs) but a lot lighter than my Yamaha. Its an easy 3 hour gig bass and really comfy to play.

If you want to try one, I am just up the M11 near Harlow - you're welcome to pop round one evening. If you can pick that up for £350 its a bargain imho.
