TheDaivisch Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 (edited) I'm looking for a decent cheap backup jazz bass and came across this: [url="http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/fender-jazz-bass/1035509628#photo-content"]http://www.gumtree.c...8#photo-content[/url] Squier body, Fender neck. Great. However I can't help but think there's something off about the positioning of the bridge. At first I thought it had 70s pickup spacing, but soon realised it appears that the bridge is in a strange position, forward of where it should be. What do you lot think? The bass in question is in the middle of the pic. [attachment=146450:Jazzbasscomparison.jpg] Edited October 18, 2013 by TheDaivisch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musky Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 (edited) Ca't really help , but I do recall that someone posted pics comparing the bridge position of three vintage jazz basses and one of them had the bridge much further forward than the other two. Same thing going on here perhaps? Edited October 19, 2013 by Musky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjones Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 The pickup is in the normal place but the bridge looks like it's been moved forward compared to the other pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingnutkj Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 There are differences in the size of neck pockets between some Squier basses and the standard Fender neck pocket size, so it could be that the bridge had to be moved to allow it to intonate properly.

DolganoFF Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Can this bass be one of the Japan-made 32"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
