If we're going to recycle birthday cards then so be it
So a couple weeks ago I was perusing through Reverb checking out basses, looking for a lefty Fender American Standard Jazz from 2012-2016, which I read on TB forum are really good years for basses. Plus Custom Shop 60s pickups, my favorites, come stock in them.
I found a new posting for a Lefty 2013 Jazz Mystic Red in Mint condition. It still had the plastic on the tuners and pick guards. Turns out an older guitar player bought it to learn bass and then was in a car wreck and now struggles playing stringed instruments (or so the story goes). So he is selling off a bunch of his gear that he can't play. The bass was only played a few times at his house. Not a scratch, nick, or dent to be found on it.
2013 Fender Jazz American Standard (Shown below as I received it)
Mystic Red
Rosewood Neck
High Mass Bridge
Custom Shop 60s Pickups
I was able to purchase it for a really good deal. If you price out a 2020 MIM Fender Player Jazz bass and add a set of Custom Shop 60s pickups and a Fender Deluxe Hardshell case, you would pay more than I did for my new bass including taxes and shipping.
So I mentioned to my wife that I bought myself a birthday gift. She says "Let me guess....A new bass?"
I reply "Yes".
She says "I guess I won't have to get you your typical birthday 'present', if you know what I mean..."
I say "That is not fair, why can't I have both?"
She says "You know you would rather have a new bass then, you know..."
I said "I would rather have 'You know' over a new bass, but between THIS bass and 'You know', please don't make me choose."
Anyways, here is my updated collection of basses:
2018 Fender MIM P Bass (My 2nd bass)
2018 Squier VM 70s Jazz (My 1st bass)
2020 Fender MIM Jazz (My 3rd bass)
And my newest addition:
2013 Fender American Standard Jazz (My 4th and hopefully last bass)
FYI: Those with a keen eye will notice a pattern in Brand Preference....

Will! You're an IT person! That means you are allowed to count in hex. Your age in hex is 45! Happy birthday!
Birthday wishes to all who are of Polish descent! My mother's maiden name ended in "ski" so I definitely have some of that Polish blood in me.
It was my birthday yesterday too......
I fell over....
Perhaps a day late, but never a dollar short. Happy birthday!
Beautiful!

Saved the day once reading type in hex. All were properly agog.
Sorry, but is eternity an option for understanding the picture?

Question: Why do Polish names end in "ski"?
Answer: Because they can't spell 'toboggan'.
Question: What's long and hard that a Polish bride gets on her wedding night ?
Answer: A new last name.
It took me several daze...

Yeah, that does sound a bit more Polish.
I am double-down Polish and have no -ski, -owicz, none of that...don't know how it happened.
I did inherit the gas associated with eating kielbasa and saurkraut.
I see a lot of clues, faces and other images, flags are inconsistently blowing.
All the best to you, Will!
