Just listened to it carefully and watched in youtube. I liked the sound and as i worked in a music instrument shop i got it at half price. The real finish was far away i thought it will be, so i just did it and that road worn really shown up after 20 years on black marker finish. Maybe it was stupid, but i like it better now, that i got it new. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is 2003. made, refinished by black marker Fender Jaco artist jazz bass. 🤮 - As if the 'finish' wasn't bad enough, the pick guard screw holes just make it look worse IMHO. Fretting a signature fretless seems like a pointless exercise. Like there aren't enough fretted basses in the world 🙄 Edited October 21, 2022 by hiram.k.hackenbacker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pickguard screws i made myself (bad or good), but currently i got a pickguard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disclaimer : I'm a drummer, so of course it needs more cowbell..! This came up at rehearsal the other day. I think the cowbell is much maligned and underused as a persuasion accessory. I love the way Clutch use it, although it’s usually the singer who is playing it. Edited October 22, 2022 by hiram.k.hackenbacker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly what the bassist in Reef does according to their tech. Series 3 SWB in green apparently gives the best tone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
