Best looking jazz bass?

I've got a Fender Aerodyne Jazz bass in black. . . .and I must agree with several others on here that from a purely cosmetic perspective - they are very hard to beat! I'd love to have one with a block/bound fretboard as well!!

I also wish that Fender would send some of those Japanese painted ones over here - they get the best colors in Japan along with the matching headstocks!

Hands down, the Fender Ventures Jazz bass.

I've been ever-searching for one (in my price range).

Oooh yeah, I really dig these. There was one for sale in the classifieds a couple years ago, but I didn't have the scratch at the time.
 
This is my 2011 MIA Jazz Deluxe. I replaced the active electronics and made it strictly passive. I installed Lindy Fralin overwound 8%, new pots, capacitors and a white pearl pickguard. I like the sound and look much better.
