Deluxe 5 Ja$$

[AndyG]

My Deluxe 5 Jazz double-bucker is finally done, and played her first gig this past week!  Kinda my take on if Fender and Warwick collaborated on my version of the ultimate bass!

Specs:
Swamp ash body, finished by me (not super pro, but I'm happy with it)
Maple neck w/ebony fingerboard
2x Duncan Music Man pickups (ceramic neck, alnico bridge)
Bartolini preamp (which is going to be swapped out for the Duncan MM preamp in a few weeks)
2x series/parallel/split switches.

Sorry about the hugeness of the pix ... not sure how to make them smaller.

Good job!

Killer looking bass.  How do you like the neck?  Bulky, thin, etc?

Thanks!

The neck is amazing.  Not quite as round as a Fender V neck, but still beefy.  Very comfortable to play.  The Warmoth headstock makes it look "not like a Fender", which is also pretty cool.
