100% worth a consideration - Sire P8 (or P7 if you don't care about body wood). I was in a similar situation too long ago deciding between a L2500 and a P8. I chose the P8 because I like an underdog... Great bass, better than double it's price.
Awesome! I just got a JB in the matcha finish. I nearly bought a used JB in almost that exact configuration off of Reverb... Kind of think I saw yours while I was browsing
