The two Jazzes are MIMs.

Which color is that fretless? Midnight Wine?

Yep. Black pickguards really bring it out nicely.

I agree.. And I'm also having a GAS attack. :)

I think I'll have to postpone my first fretless purchase a bit and aim for the MIM one in Midnight Wine. I'd prefer a two octave neck, but daymn that's one hot bass.

How are the tuners on that one? Hold their tune well?

Formerly being my bass, I can say that those tuners held fine. I don't recall if I swapped them out but I don't believe I did.

I've got a MIM Jazz here with the same tuners and haven't had a problem.

Ok, you convinced me. I did some budget calculations and alas, just ordered a 2006 MIM Fretless Jazz Bass in Midnight Wine (+ a black pickguard).

Crikey, I gotta stop surfing TB - this place hurts my wallet. :D :hyper:

(Just kidding)

I was admiring that color combo as well.
Oh, and trust me when I say that you're not the only one who's got constant GAS by surfing this forum.:help:
