Duroc17 Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago (edited) Bought this from TomJbass on here just last month and although it's a stellar jazz it's just that tad heavy for me - it's just over 9.5lbs (i played an 11lbs jazz for 17 years) ever since i fell of my bike and did my shoulder, though it's well balanced, after 2 hours it's starting to pull on my upper back - seems to have got worse with age. So sadly going to let some younger buck or doe(?) have the pleasure - that's the bad for me here's the good. Apart from looking absolutely stunning...What a neck! well done Mr Clayton on your custom shape - so ergonomic, and the gloss feels like glass - played a very sweaty gig on Saturday and a very wet festival the week before and had zero issues with sticking. Glides - frets are great too - dont feel a thing. BUT by far the best thing are these 60s custom shop pickups - noiseless and full of oomph - with a nordy mute and just the neck pup, it's Jamerson central - the bridge is more quiet, but is crystal, i did make the bridge pup a bit further from the strings to fit my taste as was too barky for me as was, you could raise for more bite. Together though neck full and bridge 60% is by far the best sounding and feeling jazz i've had. Pictured here with tort pick, comes with original antique white pearl guard. Strap locks and gotoh butterbean tuners (original not with original purchase) - There is one small ding (pictured) but has been looked after since new by tom. Have done set up, oiled neck and strung with D'Addario flats with great low action. No buzzes just great articulate notes. All case candy too. If this was 8lbs it would be the one for me - the plan is to copy as much as poss on my lighter jazz (pups, tuners, etc) also have another lighter bass inbound - so grab a bargain - just seen Fender have put these up again to £2539! Price inc postage to UK only - comes in case. Can knock off a few quid for pic up. Feel free if you want to come to Clitheroe to have a bash. Can be heard on several videos from this guy from Saturday Edited 2 hours ago by Duroc17 1 Quote
