thebuckets Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 looks great makes me wonder if i am doing the right thing thinking of getting rid of my 2008 sunburst /tortie/rw p to buy your 2009 jazz! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also means I am likely to reduce down my bass collection as I think its going tyo be 'the one'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lozbass Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Oh yes!!! Very lovely indeed - is the board as dark as it looks (I'm a massive fan of that really dard chocolatey look)? Some of these early '70s Ps really are massively resonant. I'm on the look out for an early '70s P in oly white with a tort plate. That should see my GAS satisfied (for five minutes) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarky Posted December 5, 2009 Author Share Posted December 5, 2009 (edited) Thanks all for kind comments. I have swapped for TI flats (which are lighter gauge than the LaBella ones originally on the bass) and tweaked the truss rod and bridge so that it plays exactly how I want it to. Nice, low and fast. The board is, as one poster above enquired, a lovely matured rich rosewood colour. Here's another couple of pics (one with my Nash '63 Jazz bass relic): [attachment=37888:Summer_2...tuff_230.JPG][attachment=37889:Summer_2...tuff_229.JPG] Edited December 8, 2009 by Clarky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon. Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 That is a sick pair of basses! Excuse the smut, but really - what a lovely pair! The 72 P is really something special. Well done on getting that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
