Oh man! My First Fender!

The GAS pains are killing me! I need another bass like a hole in the head, but I've been toying with getting a fiver and I found a 2000 Midnight Wine MIM Jazz Bass V with the Pao Ferro fretboard (and a couple of minor dings) for $350. Obviously, I'd get on the Warmoth website right away and get a black pickguard and a BadAss V, which would add another $100, but dang...I could just work an overtime shift or two, right?

haha thats always true..
but yeah you won't regret that color scheme, it's simply beautiful. I havve an MIM, and I didn't even like midnight wine on my bass until I recently put the black pickguard on. It really brings out the color. ;)
