Show Us Your Non- Warwick Bass Then!

Thanks a lot guys, it means a lot :-).
Headstock is basically a Telecaster model with a twitch. A bit like a G&L, I realized later.
The bridge is an old Epiphone StingThru only design. I like the way it looks. Solid brass, also. I'm trying to get a hold on a second one. Maybe if I start a new project. You never know :-)
Thanks again.
Oh, and I just doubled the value of the bass again : just bought a set of Hipshot Lollipop tuners :-)
 
Fender

I stumbled across this guy and brought it for what I thought was a pretty good price. It's a USA custom shop "closet classic" 70 jazz bass "limited edition" my first USA fender and I have to say I like it alot even though it's not a warwick. Which feels strange to me...

maybe someone who know more about fenders could prob fill me in :) but i like what i see so far
 
Maybe three years ago I was at 90 per cent to buy exactly such a bass, got the 2010th Ltd. JB instead. Traded this one with Salotti to a 2012th Ltd. Streamer, sold it to Kev and took the money for Saschas Buzzard... now thinking of selling the Buzzard to get cash for an own, individual Warwick CS.

What is your opinion about the sound and the output of the JB, Jordan?

Nice Jazz Bass, (although I´m kinda bored at JB´s lately). If you agree, I could send the pics to the Moderator of spanish bass forum Bajistas.org, who is a Fender expert, he could give you a lot of info looking at the pics.

Hardy I think we all know someone on this forum who would be very keen to get their hands on sashas buzzard. But I think his head might be removed if he buys another expensive bass ;) hehe

Regarding the JB, it's currently got some dead strings and high action so I can't really gauge it untill I get it set up to the way I like it sorry mate. But I have to say I'm liking it so far. It defiantly plays and sounds different but you defiantly feel the high quality craftsmanship. It's passive so I've never really messed around with a passive bass before. I'm looking forward to getting it all set up nice and flat/low with some new snappy strings.

So I'll keep you updated :)

Nacho I can't say I'm bored yet as this is the first JB I've ever had haha

But sure I'd love to get some info about it. I did do some research but there isn't much I could locate. Apparently the bridge pickup is in a different position to the usual jazz. I did find some for sale classifieds which appear to have sold for quite high prices so so far I'm feeling okay with myself haha

Bonez,

As I told you I took the pics and posted them on Bajistas.org, and the good fellas there gave me some interesting info. I´ll try to translate it the best I could:

Report:
In the 90´s there was a series called "Collectable", something like today´s American Vintage (then called US Vintage), but in limited editions or special editions.
This bass is the "´75" Jazz Bass from that series.
I don´t have proof of that series being part of the Custom Shop, but could be.
Anyway, ash body and top quality material.

Report:
The position of the bridge pup is like on 70´s JBs, that´s why it´s closer to the bridge, under the "ashtray".
If the player is more used to 60´s or modern Jazz Basses, hw will miss the bridge pup closer to the neck pup.

And YES, those bass are pricey in the used market.

Oshii:
Indeed that is a Custom Shop, I think that´s a "70 closet classic". I mean, it´s called "70s" because it looks like a Jazz Bass from 1970-1975: Neck with 4 bolts, truss-rod access at the end of neck, pups in "70s" position and thumbrest under G string. With selected body woods and Custom Shop neck. It is like a today´s " ´74 American Vintage", I would like to know the neck´s width, though.
It looks awesome, and I think he has payed big money for it, prices were around 3k€...
