    '95/'96 MIM Jazz bass or '09/'10 MIM Jazz bass?

    Any ideas on which one I should buy? I'm eyeing two right now on eBay. They look pretty much the same. Anybody with experience with both? are older pickups generally better? They're both in good cosmetic condition so that doesn't really play into it... thanks!

    Which volume pedal?

    My chain: (passive) Bass>polytune>EHX micro synth>aguilar tone hammer>amp. Do I want the Ernie Ball vp jr 25k or the 250k? The reason I am getting it is because I leave the volume all the way up on my bass, to allow as much signal as possible to go to the Micro Synth, which cuts out early...

    Can't decide between a Fender Mustang and a Squier Mustang...

    Pros of getting the Fender: Nicer fit n finish, better quality parts, perhaps a little better sound. I could find one USED for about $5-600 on ebay or a similar site. Pros of getting the Squier: CHEAPER. I could get one NEW for about $250 on Amazon. I'm trying to be wise with my money...
