i was going to build one, but now that i have seen this...

meow!



add a black PG and it's almost perfect.

OMG!

It's the C64S of Jazz basses!

I'd love to get a USA 62 with stacked knobs or a 75 RI with the white blocked inlays in Walnut

One of these days....

The same thought occured to me!

I must be missing something obvious here. What's noteworthy about this one?

You mean besides the reverse headstock? Nothing.

Oh, weird! The picture cuts off before the headstock on my browser.

do you have your browser expanded fully?

That's a pretty cool Jazz bass, I must say. Absolutely, swap out that PG. It'd be killer!

I've toyed around with building a J or a P with Dark Star pickups in it. Still debating. I know John Stirrat from Wilco has a P with a Dark Star.

Jeez I take terrible pictures......

Played a couple of Lakland Bob Glaubs w/ Dark Stars in them - big tone!

Wrong colour...

Wrong headstock...

Wrong vintage...

Next!

Not a fan of the reverse headstock. If it were non-reverse, it would look just like Ron Blair's Fender Jazz when he used it in the early days of Tom Petty.

Sean, where did you get that picture from?

well, for years i wanted to put a lefty neck on a righty body...maybe it's my love of 80s metal...any, fender japan did it for me. i may bypass finding the Ric I want and get this.

Erik, I got it from the Ishibashi site.
