'62 jazz - renovation 2 (update)

Updating the image for posterity, as in the original long-shot I didn't have the new pickguard hand-cut (my first attempt) and installed yet- it really puts the icing on this beauty. The prior shot didn't really convey the painfully-exacting refinishing work on the body, either. This is still my primary stage/session bass (as it has been for damn near 17 years now), but now it can cover any tonal range you want it to - including the requisite Jazz tones - with grace and ease. Doesn't hurt that the neck has always nearly played itself, either. ;-)

 

(complete list 'o mods: Duncan Bass Lines 'Classic Stack' double-coil pickups, Bartolini preamp - volume + killswitch/pickup blend/concentric bass & treble EQ knob, Badass II bridge, Hipshot D-Tuner, full neck/fret rebuild and body refinish/repaint job w/pearloid pickguard.)
