OutToPlayJazz Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Just been reading the bassplayer.com review on these. They look pretty good for the tiny outlay! What mods have you done so far? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilb Posted September 9, 2007 Author Share Posted September 9, 2007 1. String change 2. Pickguard change from white to torty. 3.Bridge swap to a Gotoh 201 4.Slightly file out the nut. 5.Adjust neck a tad. 6. Changed the knobs to the normal black Jazz jobbies (not pictured). Finally a setup. Plays really nice. All in all with VAT and taxes and upgrades, cost me about £170 all in. Took 5 days from the US dealer to my door. Original pics and more info in Bulid Diaries section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setekh Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 sexy!! and cheap..what else can you ask for? was thinking of buying one myself...so if you dont mind me asking - where did you get the pickguard? custom made? (now, I know I shouldnt say this, but) how does it compare to a MIM Fender? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilb Posted September 16, 2007 Author Share Posted September 16, 2007 The guard is an off the shelf job from my local music store, just needed a little dremmeling round the neck pocket area to fit. The actual build quality, body/paint finish and neck are easily on par with MIM s, infact i prefer the necks on these, look more professional than the bleachy wood effect of the Fenders. I used it for the first time at practice last night and it was a pleasure to play. The lads couldnt believe it only cost me £170 all in. Go for it, import is a breeze with this company.
