I picked this up at the Fed Ex store 5 minutes from my office yesterday during lunch hour.
2016 Fender American Standard Jazz Bass. I am loving it. Action is great. PO had it set up real nice. Finally checked off the list!

I wish I had just one USA Fender but I've can't complain about anything on my MIMs.
This is the 1st Jazz Bass I've ever owned. After over 30yrs I got a GL a year and a half ago.
You know a had to do some mods.

Here's a recent photo of the 4004L SPC alongside the Gustav Stickley 819 sideboard (1912).

I, for one, Sir, call this a bit of chicanery. This is NOT, in fact, an actual photograph!!!
It is in fact, an obvious early painting, masqueraded!
Obviously, this PAINTING is work of none other than...
Norman Rockwell.
Or some other person like that who can paint with care to detail. A keen eye for the simple yet stunning presence of subject matter. Contrast and shade. Yet another simple moment in time captured like lightning in the proverbial bottle....Americana at it’s finest.....
