Fraser Welsh Posted May 18, 2003 Report Share Posted May 18, 2003 Does anybody know if Fender, or anybody else, ever produced a guitar bassed on the jazz bass? The shape and control routing on my new project body are identical but it has three, rather shallow, routing for single coil pickups and a routing for a trem...it used to anyway!!! It was unfinished except for a very thin varnish and had never been on a guitar (no screw holes for a scratchplate) I bought this body cos it had character and individuality but would still be curious to know where it originally came from...oh, and it has a 6 or 9 pressed into the nck socket.

john Posted May 18, 2003 Report Share Posted May 18, 2003 Sounds to me like a fender Bass VI : http://theband.hiof.no/articles/fender_bass_vi.html same control layout and 3 single coils. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fraser Welsh Posted May 18, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2003 That seems to be pretty much it, except mine has a full lower horn rather than the jazzmaster style cutaway...though it does have additional routing for the extra controls in that area, perhaps mines a later version, or a copy. Thanks for that, it's nice to know what i'll be playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
