You're welcome! Don't know why you got rid of your SJM, but I like my Liquid,

Sold the SJM to a young man at my church.

Alright. Hello, everybody. I’m Ronzo, and I’m an addict.
(Hi, Ronzo...)

I have a thang for Fender offsets. Always have, since I was a kid drooling over Jaguars, Jazzmasters, and Jazz basses in Fender catalogs. After I got my Squier VM Jaguar HB Bass, I kept on looking for her sister in the P/J configuration. Found her in California, lost and virtually abandoned. Wearing a nice Crossrock gig bag. With a minor electronic issue, easily corrected. And a terrible setup, corrected in 20 minutes. She’s so purty, and now plays like a dream.

Pics attached.

Must have been Joe Dirt’s bass.
“I’m her sister! I’m her sister!”

Never knew the HB existed...was it hard to find one, I'm in the same boat for fender offsets. I like offsets in general, but fender nails it.

I certainly did a "when the f did we get ice cream?" When I saw the HB. Very cool


Carry on...

Nor did I, until I saw it up for sale. I looked at it and thought, “Dang! That big humbucker is almost in the same position as a ‘Ray!” I never met a StingRay I got along with, but I’ve always liked the sound. I went for it, and I’m very happy I did. It’s not totally nailing the StingRay sounds, but it’s close. Ergonomically, it’s better for me.

The P/J has the same ergonomics, and a completely different set of sounds that I like - as long as the bass boost is in the full off position. Maybe someday the Ass Of Bass will have need of the Boom Of Doom, but that day hasn’t arrived yet.

I keep an eye out for Squier Jags on Ebay, GC's Used Site, and on Reverb constantly...the Special with the HB pickup shows up fairly regularly on those sites, so they are out there.
I am still looking for a "1st gen" VM Jag in Red (passive P/J, stacked knobs, with inlays)...that baby has eluded me for years!

I can totally relate (apologies for the bold letters. Friggin' computers.....amIright? :woot:)
Anyway, years ago I ordered this late-year model of a Specialized Rockhopper (mtn bike) in this ultra-cool kawasaki green, and I loved that thing so much, and knew they were basically discontinued, so a week later, I ordered another of the identical bike, and just put it away, in the box !!
And I've done the same thing with everything from shoes to guns, LOL!!
