Travis Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 (edited) Hi all, Up for sale is my MIM Jazz V, recently purchased as a bit of an experiment from fellow member Andy67 (great guy to do some business with, btw). Having never owned a Jazz, I thought I'd give it a go and I am now hooked. Selling this one on as I've saved up some pennies for an upscale active Jazz V and it's the old 'one in, one out' routine. When I purchased it, I thought that the low B lacked a little definition but after a setup and new strings it sang much more clearly. Following this, I put in some Bartolini 57J1 pickups and the tone is sweet with a clean, clear low B. From the serial, I would say that it is a 2009 with the 4+1 headstock. One ding near the control plate (pictured) but all in all, it's pretty clean. I have also rewired the bass as V/B/T with a Bourns blend w/center detent. No drop in signal in any position. I also took this as an opportunity to experiment with tone capacitor values and found that I preferred a smaller value tone cap (currently have a .022 ceramic cap installed). If you have never played around with this or are unfamiliar with the effect, a smaller cap value results in a less dark tone roll off when the tone knob is moved off of it's maximum value position (other descriptions might vary). All wiring done to a professional standard (in a former life, pre-music career, I was a Nuclear Electronic Technician submariner in the USN) and I used cloth insulated wire for all added wiring. Cloth covered wiring not due to any particular vintage fetish, I just had some handy and enjoy working with it... All original parts- vol pot and MIM pickups will be included in the sale. Will also come with a tired but functional hard case. I have my eye on a couple of things already and would prefer a straight sale over trades. Cash or bank transfer should do the trick and while I'm happy to ship at the buyer's expense, I would prefer collection in SE London or I'll meet halfway, distance and scheduling permitting. Thanks for looking! Edited May 2, 2015 by Travis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
