Best looking jazz bass?

Don't usually like 5 strings, or modern takes on classics, but check this out!

I Would Have to go with my Bromberg B25P.

So many unbelievably beautiful basses on here - Fender and otherwise! Thanks to all for posting. I must have looked at them all at least three times!

But to me, there is still something so special about the simplicity and elegance of the original design:

Out of Fender Japan with no screw holes for the covers, just the way I like it.

I love MIJ '62's, they're absolutely beautiful.

Is this an old one, or what's the story?

I forgot to mention it in my post above, sorry (updated now)

Just about perfect isn't it!
Although; if I had the chance I'd have a '66 in 3TS with plain headstock, binding, dots and lollipop heads.
But a '62 with reverse heads would probably do just fine!
That one looks like a '60 with stacked pots.
It's funny how people get very particular about their Fender basses!

Hard to go wrong with a sunburst '62... especially if it's being played by JPJ:

my jazz is just a cheap MIM fretless sunburst, best looking one I've seen in person belongs to a local bass player. the guy did the relic thing in very odd ways and it turned out pretty nice. He did things like drag the bass on pavement and with the neck off he threw keychains full of keys at the body. looks much more natural than people who try to do it with tools.

I love the look of the Aerodyne Jazz Bass. Maybe because I own one...

I started off playing Jazz basses, then didn't have one for a while (G&L's, Precisions, and Music Men intervened). When I picked up this 2002 Fender American Series in trade a couple weeks ago, it had a brown tort guard which was just painful to look at against the chrome red (and I like Tort generally!). Swapped it out with a parchment guard off one of the the Select Jazz basses and I love the way it came out (with and without the covers, which were held on with double sided tape).

There's some great looking basses in this thread!

This is me with my '72 jazz in sunburst with maple neck and black blocks. Love it!

I can't look at that tiny little "pickguard" without laughing.

My '08 dinky body Fender American Deluxe V

Squier fretless eye candy that only hangs on the wall.

It looked like this when I got it.
