bubinga5 Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 (edited) After the unfortunate disagreements, in another thread....Some of you may have seen this bass, and some i know have owned this wonderfull instrument.. The best Jazz ive ever played, wonderfull tone...Just feels great to hold and play..Only 100 ever made!!!......Thought i would post some proper pics.. PS, i do hope there are no hard feelings about the bass.... Edited May 20, 2009 by bubinga5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutToPlayJazz Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I followed the other thread, mate. Looks great & I'm glad you really like it - Is it really better than your Sadowsky? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really thought hard about letting the RV go, cause its fantastic..But a Fender like this doesnt come up very often..Id like a sadowsky again sometime though....You cant beat that preamp...

james Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I have one and it sounds fantastic the only thing that bugs me is the fact that Fender didn't add the 'contoured body' decal on the headstock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lozbass Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Absolutely lovely - I'm a big fan of the Custom Shop and this ltd edition looks gorgeous! I have a '76 Jazz that looks close to this (in every detail) but it's nice to see something in perfect condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do i see a Spitfire?[/quote] Thank you the Sunburst and Nat are 1974 Jazz basses, yes its a Spitfire with an old Sadowsky behind that, a 76 Jazz Bass in the middle and a G&L Asat and a Music Man on the left as you can see I like 70's Fender Jazz Basses.

Rayman Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 That's a simply outstanding bass. In fact ALL the basses in the above pics are superb. I'd give my right arm for any of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
