iconic Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 I saw a blues band whilst house hunting in East Harling Norfolk...ohh and ferret racing the night before....now I didn't think I liked blues, but I do now, they were great! I think they were the Dave Thomas Blues band with a bassist called Stuart Aitkins and a drummer/acoustic guiter guy called Rusty Floyd..may have the names slight off, appologies if they are....what a talented bunch of guys. ...nothing unusual about this, bar ferret racing, but whilst waiting for the band to set up in the little club I clocked the guys bass and thought "that is a Jazz"...."no it isn't" "yes it is"....bugger this I'll ask the bass player god. well, what a nice guy Stuart is, from Glasgow, very friendly, apparently it's a Fender Jazz bass (mexican I think he said?) but with a fat as f**k rear humbucker pup grafted on.....lovely smooooth sound.....first time I have seen/heard this combo. is this unusual?

Jerry_B Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Sounds like a nice modification for a Jazz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry norton Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 You see it on Precisions from time to time - usually a Gibson EB-0 humbucker although I spose you could fit a tele bass pickup just to keep it 'in the family' so to speak. Yeah, dead cool and probably very versatile too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffbyrne Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 There *is* a Fender Jazz with a humbucker, but I'm d**ned if I can remember the model name. G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
