Hehe. We are thinking about possible tour through NW Poland and Northern Germany May-June 2011. Perhaps, we ought to consider including some JT covers into our set-list :)

Uwe, you will be forgiven only in case you'll send an envelope full of that 1st-class weed to my address ;)

Now seriously: is that wild slab of rosewood a custom order or an aftermarket replacement done locally?

dear Antipodean

I'm not from Oz, Uwe :) I'm only 1838 km (or 1 hour 40 minutes of flight) away from Frankfurt ;)




now that fingerboard looks... healthy
a complete replacement, I assume?

After your post Uwe I went looking and found this very lovely looking beauty.

This bass is mine! :) Love it. And it’s the most used one. I’ve made this picture soon after its arrival. It looks a bit mojoed now because it’s being played extensively…

Thank you! That explains much.

And what about the mentioned pickguards? Will they fit... say... a 1973 Precision (omitting the thumbrest issue)?

Maybe an offtopic here but the question gives me no rest for quite some time:

When did they actually move the thumbrest from treble to bass side?

This product page tells that 70s Fender used it on the bass side:

 But I've seen a lot of 70s P-s with it on the treble side.
