Long scale neck on that baby. Frank, are you a tall fella or is the celling a little low in your practice room? Stay low big guy, thanks for the photo's, great looking bass. byoung Advanced Member Username: byoung Post Number: 224 Registered: 12-2004 Posted on Wednesday, March 01, 2006 - 9:30 am:    Hey Frank, Along with the body and neck photos, remember to post some pics of your bass, too!

I'm still trying to get some more photos. olieoliver Junior Username: olieoliver Post Number: 27 Registered: 2-2006 Posted on Sunday, March 05, 2006 - 6:40 pm:    It is a great looking Bass. I envy you man, 17, in school, new Alembic. Man I turned 17 in Oct of 79, got married in Nov of 79, had my oldest in June of 80 (still only 17)played a 76 Fender Jazz. But you know what, since then I've added another daughter, a few more basses (still have the JAzz))and kept the same wife (27th anniv this year)guess lifes been good to me too. Anyway that is a super cool Bass. Peace! frank Junior Username: frank Post Number: 22 Registered: 12-2005 Posted on Monday, March 06, 2006 - 5:28 am:    Nothing wrong with a fender Jazz bass, I first started playing on my dads old P-bass and I still play it alot. Theres just no replacing an old fender, their lifers. olieoliver Junior Username: olieoliver Post Number: 31 Registered: 2-2006 Posted on Monday, March 06, 2006 - 7:57 am:    My first bass was a Kingston Jazz copy. Imagine a 2x4 fitting with bass strings that are 1/2 off the neck (no truss rod) and only one cheap bridge PU. Started on it in 74 at the age of 12. Two years later I purchased my 76 Fender Jazz. Good thing too, I'd looked real strange with one arm looking like Popeye and the other not!
