Fender JP 90 club?

Nice pickguard! Found mine on CL a few months ago. Mint condition 1990, original case, candy, etc. the neck is slim but stable and really nice. Love the light weight, not sure why mo love for them.

It's cool that this thread came up. I was just thinking the other day how the JP90 could possibly be the ultimate fretless bass, for a number of reasons. My first good bass was a black JP90. I loved the pickups and toggle setup.

I was just thinking about getting another JP90 and making it fretless. I think that would be a great bass. Lets keep these basses secret as the prices might start going up.:D
 
Thanks MrBuggaboo,
I love what my son in law did with this bass. When it was concieved the flags were to be reversed ,since then I have retired from gigging and we decieded to do it this way.I told him to just have fun with it.It will still have the same electronics but new neck plate , bridge, screws, and foam.Just wanted to bring her back to her glory.I will never let this one go.
 
I just picked up another one. This one is near mint white w/ bk. I guess my collection is under way. Weeeee! Just love these things. Some call me crazy but I like to be different than the rest. A good bass is a good bass, right!

Congrats on the find.There are very few of us that know about these basses and we want to keep it this way. I will probably get another one in the future to make a frettless. Cant beat this bass. Show us some pics when you can.:hyper:
