marcus bell Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 right the people basically i have here a squier jazz bass vintage modified fretless and im getting the fretted version soon too ... Basically my plan is this. To take the neck from the fretted and put it on the fretless then add a few mods including: badass and gotoh bridge and an audere preamp, put a black scratchplate on and away we go my favourite looking jazz. But. I also like the look of the natural body, what would people do on here? Just a few opinions. As i will probably sell the fretless soon x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutToPlayJazz Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 So you're going for the dark stained body with the maple fretted neck, along with all the mods? Sounds an interesting combination. Sort of Jaco meets Japanese 75 RI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcus bell Posted October 30, 2009 Author Share Posted October 30, 2009 i just want something that is individual and i havent heard or seen of anyone who has done this before, and i like the one that adam clayton uses on one on the vertigo tour dvd looks lush! x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metalmoore Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 (edited) I LOVE the squier jazz VM. If i wasnt already building my jazz i would have bought it straight away as it was everything i want near enough. Good luck and im sure with that Audere it will sound amazing.
