I'd be interested if they were lefty. Someone on Leftybass.com was trying to get the minimum number of committments needed to get a run of the NR T-birds made, but nothing has come of it. :(

:D No!
That's just the cord. Most of the cords I use have an right-angled jack on one end. After years of playing a Precision I like a lower profile jack. The Bridge is a BadAss II.

Usually one of these (replace the sunburst fretless with a Black MIM Jazz in your mind ;D)


The Black Precision is a '75 and was my first lefthanded bass, traded my Gibson RD Artist for it. This bass is "The One" for me and we have alot of history together. She is semi-retired now as I won't risk loss or damage.

The Vintage White Jazz is my main bass now it is an '83 MIJ '62 RI. The only mods are a BAII bridge and a pearloid pickguard. It has a neck thinner than a Geddy, sounds fantastic!

The Green PJ is a Squier/ Warmoth build. It is an attempt to capture the sound of The '75. Close...but the SD quarter-pounders do not have quite the snarlly bite of the DiMarzios in The '75.

The Sunburst Squier is fretless and heavily modified. I'm still not happy with it's sound. I'll probably put a fretted neck back on it and build a fretless Jazz from a Warmoth maple/maple unlined fretless neck I have. I found having the fretlines and dots on the board to be a real distrraction anyway.

My Black MIM Jazz I often leave at rehearsal. I'm guessing that it is a late '90s early 2000. Got it for prectically free because the neck has issues, but is behaving itself for now. I put an old pair of DiMarzio J pups in it that I had laying around and replaced the bridge with a Gotoh 201 and put a Tort guard on it. As one might imagine, it has a more aggresive tone than the MIJ.  :mrgreen:

Hello everyone, my first post on this board. I "recognize" some of you from the old "Dudepit"

I still have a Peavey 18" I used for years, it was especially good when biamped and crossed over with a 2x12 cab. Fianally blew up the Black Widow in it and retired it. Someday I intend to build an exact duplicate and use them for PA. :D

I had my first "long-throw" lesson when I was 15. My band used to play alot of area high school auditoriums, 600+ size rooms. I didn't have a very good amp and my bass teacher let me use his rig. It was an Acoustic (360 or 370 can't remember) and a 18" Cerwin-Vega "W" cab. I'd never used a folded horn cab before so I can't hear myself onstage and keep turning the amp up louder and louder during our performance :D Some friends told me later that I was absolutely injuring people at the back of the room.

We didn't get asked back to play at that school again....Hmmm, I wonder why?


Aahhhh, good times! :D
