Favorite Fender Bass?

FL KM, That is a sweet looking bass. I was sorely tempted when it was for sale.
However, I'm going to have to cast another vote for the Roscoe Beck. So versatile in a live situation, sounds great recorded.

My Highway One Precision Bass in 3-tone sunburst. I just got it last week so I'm still breaking it in. I love the neck and the bridge (badass II) great sustain great sound. IMO the Highway One series are the best bang for the buck as far as MIA Fenders go.
I am really a fan of the MIM Jazz bass. I have 2 of them. They are both modded. here is the first one.
This is a 04 Fender MIM Jazz V upgraded with SD Basslines, And Audere JZ3, and a Badass V Bridge.
Now for a pic.
And the other one is a 92 Fender MIM Jazz. It is upgraded with Fender 70's Vintage electronics, A Badass II Bridge, and Schaller Tuners.
Here is a pic of it.
Both of them are GREAT Basses. They are some of the best Jazz basses I have ever played. They cover all the tones very well.

I've got an 08 MIA standard P and a 64 Custom Shop Jazz Relic and it's like choosing between your kids. You love them both!
I was gonna open a new thread, but I guess this one also suits my question.
I've been really dying to try one of the now gone Deluxe Precision V models, the look of the thing just floors me, but never tried one. What's the general consensus on this Fender?
I'm especially asking this because there's a chance I could grab one with my favourite wood and colour combo...and I wasn't too keen on buing such a bass, be unhappy with the overall sound, and ending up gutting it/swap pups

Well if it has to be one you actually own, then it has to be my VM Jazz. It may soon be the CV jazz when I get it.
But as to favorite Fender bass you have ever played, it has to be, hands down, this bass -

I love the way they did the binding on the neck, and it just feels so smooth in my hands. I have played a few of the 75's now and there was not a lemon in the bunch! I just wish they would issue this one in some vintage colors as well! And for the vintage mojo vibe enhancement techniques, I would take of the ashtrays, the tug bar and swap the pickguard to tort...

My favorite individual Fender is my 2003 American Series Jazz: Chrome Red, maple, noiseless Fralins, and drop-tuner. My 2008 Am. Std. Jazz V is a close second.
For current Fenders, my faves are: American Standards generally; Roscoe Beck; and Tony Franklin sig. Sometimes I think I should sell my MIA P, and get the TF fretted.
