Recent additions include a Fender high mass bridge (sorry, no Badass here), and a MIA tort pickguard. Overall condition is excellent; looks like less than ten hours playing time on this instrument.

Width at nut: 1 5/8"
Width at heel: 2 1/2"

3) Fender American Standard Jazz bass in 3-tone burst with Custom Shop pickups and a 2005 Diamond Anniversary MIM Standard Jazz rosewood neck. This is a beautiful specimen of a bass; great vintage tone from the bridge pickup with tone half-way up, or bring up both pickups and tone for brilliant slap/pop sound. Body has some wear/ scratches, but nothing that breaks beyond the finish; neck is clean with some mild fretwear. Asking only $675 shipped with a Fender gig bag to CONUS only.

Specs:

Thanks, Craig... It's tough to know which photos are public and which one's are private on Flickr. So, please excuse the extraneous pics of me in Korea, on my motorcycle, or any other photos that are not relevant to this thread.

Mike Dirnt basses have a fat, rounded neck, badass bridge, and a split coil pup. To be more authentic for the green day sound, I added a PIO cap and the SD 1/4 pounder. This bass has more output and mids than any of my other P's. The only thing missing is a 3-star guitar strap from Moody's ...

So no 60s mojo tone out of that one?

Not this one, Fuzzy. The stock 'reissue' pup had a very low output, so I sent it balls deep with the SD pup. Cuts through and above my guitarist's Les Paul / Marshall...

How would you describe the sound of the Highway P?

The Hwy 1 is classic P all the way. Weight, balance, and tone are consistent with any other MIA Precision bass I've ever played... this bass works for swing, slap, rock, whatever you play...
 
Damn if only the price on that J was a bit lower. That thing is mighty fine. Well worth what your asking though.
And it has low action? Is that a common thing on them? I play a P bass with Flatwound so thats why I ask. Almost opposites.

As long as the truss rods and bridge saddles function properly, and the neck joint is snug, the action on the bass should be able to set up to where you want to play.

I equally switch between pick and finger style, so I prefer my action a little higher than some. Also, some gigs I play require me to tune the whole bass down 1/2 step, which changes the characteristics/intonation as well. The Jazz and the Hwy 1 P are both comfortable at switching back and forth in their tuning, with only minor adjustments (mainly on the G-string).
