Hey guys(gals), I've not been posting as much, life got in the way :)

Last night I bought a '99 Jazz Bass. I like it, need some intonation and neck adjustement...prolly clean the pots and what not. It took over an hour just to clean the bass and the fretboard...pretty grimey. It sat for a long time, but hey for $175, I'm not complaining.

I'll post pix later.

Hey man, 179 for any fender instrument is a steal. Look forward to seeing pics. Should be a good chassis for upgrades if you so desire.

Not like new, but I've gotten it shiny again...took forever to clean the 'grime' of the fretboard tho...

Here she is:

The knobs are new, the ones that were one were cheap plastic - like it's off a toy guitar...I don't know what the prev owner was thinking. The screws on the pg was so rusty, so I put on new ones for those too. Neck still need adjustment, but I'll wait till the new tuning keys are in (Schaller Lite Weight tuners), and also have Gotoh bridge coming for it. Then can have fun adjusting the intonation too ;).
