Like a favourite shirt...

These images are of a Fender Jazz Bass, made in the USA. The body and hardware is from 1975, while the neck and hardware shown here are off a '73 model. Body shots will follow - it's with my bass repairman getting its electrics sorted out at the moment...

The 'Like a favourite shirt...' title comes from a friend's comment upon seeing the images of the very worn neck. He mentioned that it was akin to a favourite shirt: worn and frayed around the edges, but hard to throw away Wink

All images courtesy of the Asahi Super-Multi-Coated Macro Takumar f4/100mm on the Canon EOS 40D.

Very nice detail shots!
And I like the comparison to a favourite shirt a lot. It is pretty much so with lenses as well, I guess.
I have some lenses which are perhaps not the best ones you can get - objectively - but they really "fit" me, just like one of those old T-shirts that you would never throw away. Gosh, I even have got some T-shirts that have holes!! Embarassed

Definitely looks like it's been through the "Bar Wars." Or would it be "Pub Wars" over there? Cool

Does the body look equally worn?

He he he - well, whatever about 'Bar/Pub Wars', this baby has been played during its life in El Paso, TX - that's where it came from Wink

It really needs a refret, which is the next project after I get the body back, but that's a pricey job.

The body is really clean for a '75 - natural finish over ash, with very few dings and dents.
