Another hybrid: the JazzBird

I like the look. Gee, I have an old Epi EB-0 neck in the basement. I wonder what I could put that on?

Maybe a teardrop type of body would look nice with that neck.

Cool project, I like it a lot ! I am still contemplating putting a muddy in my Jazz bass

Oh, cool idea, I hadn't thought of that! We'll have to give that some thought.

That's very cool, I like it!

I might have to give that a try, maybe with a Darkstar.

I've considered that too, I have a Darkstar lying around, but that one has to be build in an 8-string (very future project)

Geddy Lee "teardropped" a Precision... never found a decent pic though... used her for the encores on the first UK tour ('77)... blue and white body... you can partially see her on the original cover for "All The World's..." He even "teardropped" the head, a-la-Stingray...

I vaguely remember an interview where he commented on his regret of the mod, but that was around 30 years back...
