a trade what do you think

Sometimes you must strike while the iron is hot!

I recently bought a 90’s foundation because I wanted the drop tuner that was on it for another bass. Turns out it sounds great, plays great, and is the lightest bass I own so I use it when riding my exercise bike.
The neck is a bit narrower at the nut than a jazz bass (almost too narrow) and the body is way smaller. This has been an interesting thread to read because I’ve been wondering why I like this bass so much. The neck pickup sounds a lot like a P and together you get a J tone. Bridge pickup is quite serviceable soloed too. Body looks kind of weird shaped and cheap as does the plastic truss rod cover but who cares! An 80’s one with that sexy headstock pin striping would be even better! Those dyna basses look like they have the super ferrite pickups and must be killer. How are these pickups made? Sound great!!

That black and maple is even better than my black and rosewood.

Now I’m going to go play it and ride the bike.
