Honeyburst Jazz Bass Bodies Available - Northwest Guitars

[Bassman1974]

So,

 

I commissioned a Honeyburst Jazz bass body a good few months back, and it's just arrived in stock at Northwest. Kevin did a run of four in total, and there are three left after I procured one. 

 

Just a heads up in case someone is looking to build a jazz in a non standard colour 🙂

Is it just me or is the neck pickup route bigger than the bridge pickup? I was just about to say how nice it is to see a body which could be used without a scratchplate, unlike what Fender do these days.

My American Fender Jazz body has the same pickup hole sizes.

Certainly looks it. NW bodies terrify me as you have to drill your own bridge earth to cavity hole!

It's probably why I've stalled the project, at least until winter
