Purty. What's the story on your upright? Carved, laminate? And what pickup are you using? |

Laminate. I believe it's a K&K transducer. The previous owner installed it. It's the only upright pickup I have experience with. I don't play it amp'd much. I'd say it's "OK." I'm very happy with the bass, though. Good projection, decent warmth. I've only owned 2 lefty uprights, and both were Strunals. |

Thanks, fellas. After owning 12 basses and selling off 7 of them, these are the keepers. Frenchy, yeah, the '76 Jazz is the desert island bass of the collection. Despite the heavy ash body, maple neck and the reputation of mid-70's J's, it's sounds very warm and resonant. I love it so much I sold a great Lakland JO! The Guild is my poor-man's Ric - set neck, fat single coils with one in the true "neck" position - the one I can go to for aggressive mid-range tones. |

I've always kicked myself for not buying this Upright of CL. If you ever decide to sell it let me know. |

That about covers the basses I'd say. Great streamlined collection. And that B302...drool. What's the story on the fretless P? Is that a true fretless neck on an aftermarket body or original body with a routed J PUP? |

It's a Fender fretless P neck from 1977 refinished in epoxy. I was planning on mating it with the '74 Fender body. Instead, I bought a 2000 Fender Hot Rod in sunset orange. I mated it's body with the fretless neck and it's neck with the '74 body. |
