My 2011 American Standard P Bass

[drummer5140]

Here's my baby

[Thrill-House]

My 3 P-basses, and a cat who refused to move out of the way.



2008 MIM, 2011 MIA, and 2012 MIM with chrome covers and thumb rest attached with double sided tape. I actually find the white MIM to be the best one of the three,

Speaking of chrome covers, those are currently taped on with double sided tape. The reason for this was because i initially wasnt sure if i wanted them on or not, so i taped them on as sort of a "trial run". Ive decided i like them there and it plays comfortably, so i was thinking of removing the tape and using screws to hold them on like normal. However, being an MIM standard, it does not have the holes for them. So my question is, is it possible to drill a hole through a pickguard with a normal drill, like you would do with the body near the bridge? Or is this not recommended?

Here's my MIJ '62RI Jazz Bass:


I also have a MIJ '62RI Strat, an MIM "70s" Strat," a '66 Super Reverb, and a '73 Fender Rhodes Suitcase piano.

This reminds me of the "Post your pets with basses" thread .

Ooh, ooh! Can I join in?



2007 "Crafted In Japan" Aerodyne Jazz


Robalero: Is that a Blacktop Jazz with the double P-Bass pickups? If so, I would like to hit you up for info someday, if you're game.

BassAgent: That fretless is beautiful. Tres classy! And as an slightly-less-than-amateur photographer, great setting and composition for your '66 Jazz's photo.

jweber76: High-five to the fellow Aerodyne owner!

[jweber76]

Back at ya... How is the black chrome on your hardware holding up?

[amoodymule]

A little cosmetic pitting on the bridge and tuning keys, nothing more. It was that way when I got it a year ago, along with the chips and cracks in the poly-coat (I've been thinking of doing a little drop-filling to protect the exposed wood, but I'll save that for another thread). Beyond that, everything was, and still is, in excellent working order. How 'bout yours? How's it holding up?

[jweber76]

My bridge and tuners look terrible, the body had only one ding through the paint, better than most used aeros I've seen around. I filled it with black nail polish... It worked beautifully... For a zero dollar repair...

I'm not a Fender owner (like someone earlier, a Warwick 5-string $$ Corvette and a Lakland 55-01 fretless owner) and I'd like to get some advice on whether the less expensive mfg site Fender models are "fender-y" enough to warrant buying one.....I'm looking at a local craigslist MIM jazz bass for a good price. It's around 1992 manufacture date. Can the Fender mafioso tell me if that is worth owning? Will it offer a "Fender experience"?

In my experience the Lakland Skyline series while cheaper than the US is definitely a Lakland experience.....that's the kind of input I'm looking for on Fender MIM in that timeframe (1992).

Thanks!

Yes definitely worth it, but personally, I would get a MIM from 2001 and after. I'm not crazy about the MIMs before the 2001 redesign - the pickups were different and the bodies were poplar.

I've owned two MIMs - a 2002 Jazz Bass V, and a 2011 Precision Bass. The Jazz was awesome, but the Precision really plays like a dream.

[Broadstbully22]

My stuff. American jazz. Blacktop p. Mim 5 jazz and 4 mim p. Also my 350 combo. All are nasty and give me many different options.
