I put this together to satisfy my desire to have something that vaguely resembles both a Jazzmaster and Bass VI simultaneously.
It's a quirky beast - sounds nothing like a JM of course, but doesn't really sound stratty either, despite the pickups. I'm currently running half-round strings on it, which give a great mellow tone, but I'm considering going heavier and tuning it down to baritone range...maybe C-C or something.
By the way, the pics are not reversed - it's a lefty with a mirrored decal!
Key features include:
Warmoth lightweight ash body (bridge pickup route was done by me afterwards, as they wouldn't do a straight slot).
Musikraft neck, soft V-C profile.
Finish by MJT, Olympic White with light wear scuffing.
Staytrem bridge, trem collet and arm.
Benson 54 Strat pickups (I think, from memory)
Pickup on-off sliders.
Standard Jazzmaster rhythm circuit, except it acts on whichever pickup(s) selected, rather than just neck.
Thanks for looking!
