Hi all,

I am new to the forum - having been a guitarist for the longest time, I am back to my true roots - I am forever a bassist, at heart!

I wanted to ask you experts, as I have been away from the world of bass and equipment for too long... about the new MIM Fender Classic Series 70's Jazz Bass I have been looking at:

(I might be asking silly/stupid questions, so apologies for that already now.)

I have long loved the 2/3 Tone Sunburst Jazz with the Rosewood/Block Inlays 70s neck, and now that the Classic Series MIM is out, it's just the bass I need to get back in the game.

1) I want to replace the black pickguard with a Red Tortoise Shell one, but I see there are subtle differences in the number of holes/shapes/truss rod cut out... how can I make sure I get the right one for this one?

2) Have anyone of you got/played one, and what do you think of it? I don't have easy access to stores that carry them at the moment.

3) Is the wood in the body 3 pieces (not sure why I thought to ask, but it looked like it - not that it really matters to me)

Any insight on any of the questions above will be truly appreciated!

Thank you all for reading.

Gunnar

I've not seen it in person, so I wouldn't be able to answer 2/3 questions you posted. Someone here might've seen or even played with it. For question 1, you can always go to www.pickguards.com But I would like to welcome you here to the Forums. :)
