Road worn bothers me, but pau ferro bothers me more. I haven't heard a fair comparison between the two, but from what I can tell, I like the sound of the JMJ pickup better. The stock bag that comes with the JMJ also stains the nitro finish.

Yeah, I can't be too bothered since it's a relic anyway. Although I'm one of those who would have preferred they had made it with an NOS vibe rather than a relic. I knew about being careful with nitro, but I was silly enough to assume the bag Fender supplies with a nitro bass would actually be...

I haven't read the whole thread, but I buy like this because I live outside the US (though I am a US citizen), so I know exactly what's going on. The shipping company will open it and take pictures before they ship it to Europe. The shipping company will charge him extra for additional packing...
