Back story was in his studio for recording only 2001 MIM Fender Jazz
needs new strings, no strap no case, but also no dings or dents it was tuned and polished when he gave it to me :) it sounds good I need to give it a look for the specs but it is very playable so I couldn't be happier with it. Good photos coming soon

NBD! AND number 9. My Bride got this for me as a birthday gift. Just finished the setup along with a set of LaBella Copper White tape wound strings. Looks and sounds incredible! It'll be in next weekend gigs lineup. Probably opening night 1 and closing the 2nd night.

Currently at 3:
Sire P5 5 string
Sire V7 4 string
G&L M2500 Tribute

Love all of them, but at the same time, I may try to sell either the V7 or G&L for something else as I don't necessarily need 2 active basses with 2 pickups. Maybe try a stingray or maybe the upcoming Sterling Joe Dart instead.
 
My trusty ole '89 P lyte was all I needed.
Till I got a Fender Kingman acoustic, but THAT was it.
Till I got a Jazz...

That did me solid for quite a while, and would have continued to do so. But. The clouds parted and it rained on me a lil bit.

So.
A Dingwall Combustion and a Rick 4003 are inbound.
Wish list checked. Vote changed to 5.
