Thanks! You can find them once in a while on ebay for $200-250. I highly recommend them. The only mod I've done to mine is swap the bridge pickup for a GFS Dream 90, and soon gonna put new knobs on her.

Rare as fuck, they were only made for a year or two. I think it might be getting some studio use by Davila 666 (PR's only successful garage band, google them) after their bass player asked me earlier today if he could borrow it for some recordings.spirograph wrote:man that imposter thingy is fookin sweet! why have i never seen one of them before? why has no-one famous/successful used one yet?

Thanks! That one was a fun project. It is a Blacktop with locking tuners added, and adjusto-matic added, routing for WRHB, custom pickguard, and a 1meg volume with a toggle.othomas2 wrote:Nice collection. I like your Jazzblaster the most !!
Thanks! It is always changing. I tend to be a project junkie. I keep the ones I bond with and end up selling the others to pay for the next project. I am actually trying to sell the Black Jazzblaster. I can't go in to that here too much though because I am not at the post count yet.Mike wrote:Absolutely amazing collection of guitars there HNB

Very nice, i've often thought about routing the bridge for a WRHB as i've one that i bought for a project, but it's not currently in use.. (that project is taking me forever).HNB wrote:Thanks!

those BT jazzmasters are a fantastic mod platform to go to a Jazzblaster, or anything else really..
also dig the Black on Black.. it's like a stealth jazzblaster..

I have modded three Blacktops so far. The black one, the sunburst one in the big photo that looks like a Cobain Jaguar, and one that I routed for normal Jazzy pickups and rhythm rollers. I added a strangle switch to the pickguard on that one. They are great fun to mod.serfx wrote:Very nice, i've often thought about routing the bridge for a WRHB as i've one that i bought for a project, but it's not currently in use..

Here is that blacktop. It had one volume and two tones also with an added side jack.

The trem placement is the new modern one, but that actually works very well with the TOM, so I think it is all good. The rhythm area is just screwed in to the wood with electrical tape under it. Since Kurt didn't use that area, I thought it would be fine not to bother with that. He didn't normally use tremolo, so I didn't see a need to worry about that. I had fun adding the extra strap knob to it.
Tuners aren't accurate, but they work fine. Decal isn't a match, but it isn't a Jaguar, so I did more of a hybrid. The tort was made for me by Tony at pickguardian. Great stuff. I just had to make a drawing for him. He nailed my drawing template.Posted: Wed Apr 18, 2012 7:26 pm
I've yet to try out a Jag but I'm pretty much resigned to the fact that one day I'm going to buy one and there's nothing I'd be able to do to stop myself when it happens. I think it was seeing a Kurt sig model for the first time that clinched it.
Very nice Jazzstang BTW. It looks odd at first glance, but the more you look at it the more 'right' it seems. So unique but looks lovely (I never thought I'd ever say that about a green guitar, either. It really does look stunning).
