Thanks Mike,
I think it sounds great ... I've got flatwound strings on it, which give it a really warm tone - the EMGs also help. It sounds and feels very different to my other basses ... which...

Hi Mike,
It's a Schaller bridge ... https://www.schaller-electronic.com/hp135111/Bass-Bridge-3D-5.htm
Hi Mike,
where is the gap (can you post a pic?)
You might find that the gap will be covered with the scratch plate, so possibly not a big problem.
If you really want to make the neck fit...
Hi Volgar,
I built this guitar using the JMA kit, before the JZ kits were available ...
I was aiming to build a replica Jazzmaster, so the 2 main things I needed were the tremelo and the...
Hi Folks,
here's a review of the JMA-1 I finished earlier this year for my son-in-law.
He was pretty happy with the result ... as you can see.
:D

The nut is the one that came with the neck, maybe a future upgrade!
EMGs sound great, whisper quiet. They do sound crisp too ...

Hi Woks, yes I was lucky that everything fitted into the cavity. It's a snug fit, but meant I didn't need to fit a battery box.

Hi Everyone,
here's my entry for this month ... it's an LP1S, which I've taken my time with.
I've added Grover tuners and EMG 81/85 Active pickups, as well as some wood nobs I found to replace the...
I assembled the guitar last night ... looks pretty good ...
Sounds OK too ... but still needs a final setup ...

Lookin' good!
That was my original intent ... but, for whatever reason, the stain didn't take very well, although I've only put 3 layers on so far.
Kind of liking where it's got to now ...
That's a genius idea!
I got that email too ... disappointing ...
:(
Hi Waz!
no ... these are passive pickups ... less stuffing around with battery boxes etc. ... this one is going to be all about the finish.
Hopefully I'll do it justice!
I think I've been lucky...
Here's a pic of the first pass of the stain on the body ... thinking I'll just give it one more coat ...

welcome Michael!
look forward to watching your build ...
:D
Wasn't sure exactly what shape to use on the headstock ...
... eventually took the "safe" option and went for something traditional.

I have to say that, I think, having a Dremmel made...
So ... the young men in my family are starting to put their orders in for birthday and Christmas gift ideas ...
What better gift than a nice new guitar ... and helps feed my habit, without having to...
Hey Chuck,
here are a couple of pics of where I'm up to with the front and back of the JM. I inset some ply that I had in the shed to cover the original routes in the body. The one on the front gets...
Hi Chuck,
I was lucky and found a guy on ebay who was selling a new factory loaded pickguard cheap.
The problem I've found is that the kit has the neck set further back into the body than the...
Thanks for the advice guys,
love your work Andy!
:)
Hi everyone,
Looking for a bit of advice ...
I have an ash body guitar that I've done some mods on, which have left a couple of cracks (in not very notable places) where I've plugged some gaps,...
timing ... the secret of good comedy ...
Love the jazzmaster kit ... if I'd waited a little while I wouldn't have had to try so hard to make a JMA-1 into a Jazzmaster!
:p
Got some time this weekend to route the body to fit the Jazzmaster trem and scratchplate.
I still have to fil the hole that was there for the trem/bridge that came with the kit and cover the hole in...
I reckon the Rick headstock would a great "level up" challenge on the build ...
