CookPassBabtridge Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Picked this up just before the weekend - all credit however has to go to the legend that is @Jonesy for pointing me in its direction! I recently acquired a Road Worn P in a trade and having been very impressed by it was on the hunt for a Road Worn Jazz to match. I'd been keeping an eye out for a number of months but had never managed to find one in sunburst...until now! Anyone familiar with these basses will know what they're all about - arguably some of the best models to ever come out of the Mexican factory. The neck on this is excellent, super smooth and quick. The single coil pickups provide a lot of grunt, but backing off the front pup gets it close to that Jaco-esque tone. I still want to spend a bit more time with it before waxing too lyrical, but suffice to say first impressions are very good indeed. A few pics below, including next to her new sister Also tagging @la bam who I believe likes a good Road Worn. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
la bam Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Brilliant basses! I have a road worn p in red. I'd love a sunburst one like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonesy Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Oh my, what a lovely pair! I'm not usually a fan of relic'd finishes, but have been coming around to them recently and those 2 are rather lovely. Great stuff! Really pleased that you're happy with it and that you've completed the set. If I ever see a roadworn looking sunburst stingray, I'll give you a shout! 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
