Seems I missed this thread before.
Squier VM 70's Jazz, VM P5, and Sire V7 ash natural
Not particularly glamorous, but there aren't that many maple-necked Mustangs.
Put together a P bass out of a few old bass's and stole the maple neck off an old Canadian made "Northern" bass. Just love the look of a maple neck. So I currently have 2 the other is my 78 MM Stingray.
I need close-ups. They all have really nice birdseye boards.
