Fender Jazz Special...Any thoughts

[Stinger2k]

Does anyone have any opinions on this Bass? I have had it since the mid 80's and no matter what newer bass I buy, I always seem to want to go back to it. Currently have a Geddy sig Jazz bass and that is what I play most, but something about my old Special that I love. Much lighter and seems to have just as good of tone as my Geddy. Just put some Chromes Flats on it, so I have a different sounding bass to go too, but thinking it should maybe be my main bass. I did add active P/U to this 20 years ago, and modified the back of the body for the battery.
Any thoughts on this Bass?

There's a long in-house going thread about them. Do a search for "Jazz Bass Special" to find a LOT of information about them.
