Ramsay777 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Hi folks, my main gigging bass the past couple of years has been an American Standard Jazz that I got on a pretty sweet deal from Reverb when they closed down, £680 new if I recall. I love this bass. Plays great, comfortable weight and a lovely neck, but I've decided to change things up a wee bit, starting with a refinish. Here's a couple of poor "Before" shots I changed the pick guard from White to Black and added a Hipshot Xtender not long after getting it.

Ramsay777 Posted March 25, 2014 Author Share Posted March 25, 2014 Also I forgot to mention that I rewired it; Master volume and a kill-switch for each pick up. I always ran it with everything on "full" and got bored one night so I broke out the soldering iron! I sent away the body to Spectrum Guitar Finishes back in early February and received these pics today, delighted with it! Pearlescent white with ghost pearl bloom. Phil says it looks awesome in person, I imagine it's pretty hard to photograph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sblueplanet Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Nice. I'd be wanting to see which guard works best once you get it back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
