Houston...I have a problem

Beautiful basses for sure! But to address your question regarding “need”, you really only need 2 four string Jazz basses: 1 passive and 1 active. I had one of each (Fender), but now I only have the active one. That’s the only four string Fender Jazz I need. It’s a Fender Suhr and I honestly believe I’d have a hard time finding another Fender that sounds as good or better than it does.


Any pics of the Suhr?
 
...and I still want more!!! What is wrong with me? How mny of these do I need? Make it stop!!!

1. ...and I still want more !!!
Nothing wrong with that as long as you pay your bills and take care of your needs.

2. What is wrong with me?
So you like to play quality handsome instruments. Now really, what could be wrong with that?

3. How many of these do I need?
Fair question. Your next Jazz you get should be a fretless. Then you need at least one P Bass with flats. Both these should be sunburst as well. That comes out to six, I believe.

4. Make it stop!!!
Not until you have done what you were told.

Young people these days. :roflmao:

I’m not into the fretless thing...but got the sunburst P with flats covered along with the P (J) with rounds!
