Grand Wazoo Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 You know, this is still my no.1 Jazz Bass, it's a Squier Classic Vibe, souped up with Seymour Duncan stacked humbuckers, totally noise free when each p/u is played single. All wiring and pots been replaced with original Fender CTS and waxed cloth wire, it was a labour of love and I take it everywhere, this week I took it with me to work on my ship, together with the Tascam Bass trainer so I can practice along. I've compared this bass to an MIM and a 90's MIA and it's still came tops and I am very selective when I do comparison, the neck just plays itself and the basswood body together with those pickups just give it an amazing sound. Oh yeah and it was "mooo'd up" by me here is a slideshow of it in my ship cabin at work [url="http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/CaptMoto/JazzBassMooMooCow?feat=email#slideshow"]http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/CaptMoto/Jaz...email#slideshow[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, soon enough it will start to show some "road worn" sings too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bh2 Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Nice one Waz... God I love Jazzers... if I had the spondies I'd buy a CV Jazz for a replica project and a burst RW Jazz... I already have a 62 fretless.! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davo-London Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 It is truly wonderful and I don't know how you can sell it! Using a Squier for this type of project is a great idea. I would love to have a go at that. Maybe my daughter will one day play bass and I can customise one for her ... Davo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davo[/quote] I am glad you like it, I am not planning to sell it anytime soon as it is a real good player, but even if I get fed up with the moo looks I can always reverse it back to natural as it is not painted, those black blotches are cut outs from an easy-peel transfers similar to those used to protect small screens. The pickguard can also be swapped with the original and the pickup covers and control knobs are spares, the original are in a tidy box at home.
