Would prefer to give to a tech with experience of the hollowbody electrics, if anyone had a recommendation. I can't give you any recommendations, but if it helps any I can say is that the JC is pretty easy to work on because the thing is completely hollow - no centre block getting in the way. Also, I rewired a semi-hollow bass (with centre block), and if an amateur, ham-fisted dorkasaurus like me can do it, then I'm sure just about anyone could once they lose the fear. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassbiscuits Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 I had a lovely JC bass for a while. Pros: Looked amazing, played beautifully, a lot more versatile than expected but with a real character of its own. People who’d seen my band for years suddenly noticed I was there thanks to me shapethrowing with a big gold bass on stage. Beautifully made too. Cons: Mine had ghastly neck dive (all my other basses have conventional top horns) and was prone to feedback when playing very loud on a small stage (part of a multi band gig with shared backline, so I was limited to what choices I had). Ultimately I sold it to fund a MIJ Mustang bass, which is more versatile for my style. But I keep lusting over a JC whenever they pop up for sale.

uk_lefty Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 My JC bass is so pretty I chose that to feature in the estate agents photo of my office. Perched on a stand in front of my amp. Classy, old school, sparkly gold but not brash. It's perfect. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowf Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Be warned it's a gateway bass. I bought a lovely black one for £400 and now I'm looking at Gibson EB-2s. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
