Great point. I am a p guy, I played for an extended session time last night. I think I'm gonna hold onto it a while and give the fretless thing a proper run through before I decide. Thanks all!

Thanks for the input. I am leaning yes. We are supposed to meet up for a play off lol. The specials were cheaper or appear to be less desirable than the standards of the same period, based on what I've seen here. The neck may be even slimmer than a standard jazz, my main concern. I like standard...

Fair points. I don't know alot about the American Fenders .There always seems to be pockets of greatness and pockets of ok. I think everyone's googled themselves at some point right?

Hello fellow bass junkies!! I am looking at trading my 95 American standard lined fretless pbass for a fretted American fender. I have an offer for a 2010 jazz bass special. I searched the forums and found mixed reviews on the 2010 specials and almost nothing on the 95 fretless standard. I do...

You're not old, you're vintage :-) I sounds a little thin, has a cool vintage vibe. Plays great .I need to do a little setup work to drop a action a but. Other than that it's awesome.

This one is a tiny 11 pounds lol

It feels good to be out of the darkness lol

Yeah I'm 50/50 on the finish. I love the way it looked og. But the paint was done pretty well and is clear coated satin. I was thinking of going Olympic white, sanding the grooves that were cut in and using a different color to highlight the grooves. Or leaving it and rocking it out. I have well...

It actually plays pretty well. The electronics are shot so it's all feel until I fix them tomorrow. Debating on taking it active like it was. Or doing a stack knob passive job. Not sure yet.

It is a wood putty job that was actually sealed very well. There's a couple big chunks torn out from fast and furious defretting.

Hey bass junkies. Long time listener, first time caller. I scored a fully beat up and poorly defretted 94 mim "Cowpoke" precision bass special. Look at this beast lol. I am trying to figure out what to do. Attempt a resto of some sort, or embrace the....uhhhh.. quirkyness? I am probably...

I don't want to step on toes as a newbie but all of you are wrong. Proof attached
