Quite
a snappy little number, this one. It's the Korean
made Skyline version i bought from www.bassandbeyond.com
out of Sacramento, CA (thanks guys!) Based on
the serial number it was made in
2004. This one has the swamp
Ash Body in the now discontinued Candy Apple
Red and pearloid pickguard. Flat-sawn maple neck
with maple fretboard and block Inlays. The pickups
are the passive Aero's with Vol/Vol/Tone Controls.
Tuners are the ultra lite Hipshots with the D-tuner.
The strings are Thomastik Infeld JR-344 Jazz
Bass roundwounds.
A nicely progressed iteration of
the classic Fender Jazz.
In 2009, I replaced the neck shown with a rosewood
fretboard on maple with CAR headstock from Lakland. The
maple neck was purchased by Juan Alderete of the
Mars Volta.
