    Need some educ on Fender MIM basses

    My wife has a customer that got a Fender MIM jazz bass '20 years ago' and says 'needs work as it's not been played in a long time'. He says he successfully removed 'all the crazy stickers I put on as a teen'. The price is $50...hard to pass that up. It's more for my son now that he's...

Thinking if they had a drum kit of some kind here that would A) make gettting a drummer easier, and B) the kids would be here where I can keep an eye on them and C) i won't have run my son and his gear all over...

    Most popluar amp/rig? Is there a 'standard'?
