That sounds like a win- It's all about the volume . I used two whole bottles of brush on locktite. It was killer. Eyes burning and watering like crazy by the time I was done.

Mine had perfect fret ends, took some truss tweaking and set up with great low action, no dead spots and a killer tone. I easily rank mine's playability and tone in line with all of my MIM fenders I've had the pleasure to know. Sorry you had a different experience, but I am looking into some...

I'm new to this forum. Not new to Bass. Not new to modding. Not new to using hobby glue and paint. I am new to CA glue.... That's the problem. I just applied two coats of CA glue to my bass' fingerboard thinking "I always used to build model planes indoors. This glue can't be that bad."...

I was within feet of buying that EXACT bass. She is a sweet, sweet beauty!

Like I said, I just don't see that same value/dollar ratio that they used to have. When I could pickup a brand new MIM for only a hundred or so more than the Squier counterpart and Asian instruments weren't nearly as well built I thought they were the bee's knees. It'd take a hell of a force...

I know my 96 and a couple of mod 90's I had the pleasure to know had necks that felt nothing like the MIA counterparts of their era. My 02's neck sure matched perfectly up to the MIA necks of it's era, though. A few players in bands I shared the stage with had MIM jazzes back then and the...

My 02 is a deluxe and actually used an American body. The giveaway was that it was cut for a bridge jazz pup, not a generic jazz pup like they supposedly had in the MIM deluxes of that era. Low and behold, it had an American neck jazz pup in that slot! Dead space on the sides in the wood and...

Sorry, misread that. My bad. Yeah, my 02 is clearly a three piece body, you can tell even under a black poly finish. My purple 96, you can't. They vary so much from one example to another.

Are you arguing that they're a poor value because they're not one piece bodies?

I've been playing bass for over 20 years and I've played, owned and borrowed all makes and models of different basses. The MIM basses that I own I absolutely love. My main two gigging instruments for the better part of my time playing have been MIM basses, although they are former shadows of...
