- buy precision bass
That body looks awfully familiar haha
Because I love my Precision... But I hate pickguards...
I kinda like your lawn, though- Wait, I think there's a lounge chair in my ride...
Hmm... Maybe I will order a lake placid blue p bass after I cut grass in the morning.
(let's keep this light hearted)
Air just works. It's simple and effective, and countless people have used it on countless inflatables. It can handle most any inflatable without issue.
What's the best gas for balloons? Air.
What's the best gas for tires? Air.
What's the best gas for blow up dolls? Air.
What's the best gas for lungs? Air.

This is a Dingwall Super P that arrived at my house on Christmas eve of 2013. Under the Sonic Blue paint is a swamp ash body - the bass weighs 7lbs, 4oz. The pick guard was custom cut by John Kallas from black abalone (I swapped the chrome screws for black). I removed the tone control because I never use them on a precision.

I bought my 21 year old son a precision bass for Christmas 2 years ago (that's what he asked for). Black w/maple fretboard, mirrored pickguard and active EMG's. He played it twice and decided to leave it here when he moved out. So, I inherited it.
I have owned many basses but never a Fender. The neck felt great but I didn't like the active EMG'S or mirrored pickguard. Those are in the process of being changed to Seymore Duncan passives, a while pearloid pickguard, an ashtray bridge cover and metal barrel volume and tone knobs.
I don't know if it will replace my Alembic, but I'm sure it will be a great gigging bass.

I started playing bass about 14 years ago and my first bass was a crappy Japanese bass from the 60s. Quickly replaced that with my early 57RI P-bass and fell in love. I was already in 'gear head' mode when I joined TB in 07. At the time they told me that Precisions were for beginners and old people. Popular opinion here on TB has swayed the past few years.
Well, I still own 4 P-basses and not much else. To each their own, but variety is the spice of life. If you wanna talk about boring, talk about all those jazz bass people.
Other than drilling the holes, did you have to do anything special to get that pickgaurd on your JB special. I have the exact same one and I love the way that looks.
The problem with the premise of this thread is NOT to each their own, is NOT about variety. Its "this bass does everything, you don't need anything else."
Jazz basses at least have more options than a P, and I personally haven't seen the cult like devotion to jazz basses.
There is no one perfect bass for everyone.
2013 Dingwall Super P. It weighs 7lbs, 4oz, has a swamp ash body, HipShot hardware, 5-piece maple neck, nicely 'checked' grain in the maple fret board, black abalone pick guard custom cut by John Kallas, Neodymium pickup made in-house @ Dingwall, tone control removed by me because I don't use them on precisions...
