All, I love Fender Japan basses, I have several, the one I fixed up I got on ebay for $550, it played great but was dull looking and kinda beat, rather than getting a new bass (short on cash) I decided to fix it up. I would not do this with an American bass as I like keeping them the same as when purchased. Thanks for checking it out.



I had the body painted from Marty Bell, price was good, quality amazing and turn around less than 2 weeks http://martybellfinishing.com/

I had a pickguard from another project (I ordered two) and this Red one really popped, I got it from Tone Guard http://www.tone-guard.com/Info%20for%20 ... layer.html

I got some new Pick Ups on a great Black Friday deal, I paid $99 for this set http://www.guitarcenter.com/Fender-Noiseless-J-Bass-2-Pickup-Set-308033-i1128136.gc

I added CTS pots with cloth wiring and added the bridge cover for that classic look. The neck and all other parts were untouched. This was a fun project and glad I did it.

Looks great. Is that finish Daphne blue?

Yes, the color is Daphne Blue, the camera got the color correct however the picture did not capture how nice the paint job is.

Really nice!

My J-Basses wear Red Tortoise (or nothing at all).
