I know I've mentioned this before, but to my knowledge, I've never shared any pictorals. The back story is that this is an '89 Fender Jazz fretless that, when I bought it was stock except for a white pearloid pickguard that I believe was aftermarket. The black finish on the body was ruined by some unknown solvent-animal hair combination (I should have taken "before" pictures, it was as bad as it sounds). Anyway, I stripped off the paint and refinished it with gunstock oil. I chose gunstock oil because it is easy to apply and therefore ideal for beginners such as myself. I was able to pick up some nice pickups and, recently, a pickguard from Talkbass. That's the story, now here are the pics:
Just the body:
And the whole shebang:
In which two such players document their experiences with the instrument and the world of music around it.

Nice fretless! How's the tone?
Very nice, thank you. I have compression-wound strings on it now, but I might go to flats again.
Nice enough for me to link to it... Great bass!
Peace,
Scotty
