Ok you have $2,000 to spend...

[patzilla83]

Serek Midwestern 2 with a B-90.

 

[SparkyLB]

Fender American Professional Jazz bass in Sonic Gray with a maple fret board, (couldn't grab a pic of one with a maple fret board), and pocket the other $400.

 

[Lava]

Fender Elite Jazz... Yep, I need one of those.

Nice, but don't pocket the rest until you put a black pickguard on it!

 

[Kragnorak]

What bass would you buy...model,color,etc.?

I'm torn:

1. Fender American Elite Jazz Bass V - I'd want to try both the Natural with Maple Fingerboard and the 3-color Sunburst with Ebony fingerboard to see which one I liked the feel and sound of better. These basses are $2150 retail, but if you're giving me $2k I'm sure I can find what I want somewhere!
2. The New Jersey Guitar & Bass Center carries Dingwalls, and I believe the prices beat what I've seen on eBay, so I might be able to get a Combustion 5-string with maple neck for under $2k

Hmm... Rickenbacker 4003 SW/5

 

[SparkyLB]

Nice, but don't pocket the rest until you put a black pickguard on it!

Hmm. I wouldn't mind seeing what that would look like.

 

[bobomatic]

JetGlo 4003 and a pro de-fret.....

 

[crucislancer]

What bass would you buy...model,color,etc.?

American Original 60's Precision in LPB

 

[zon6c-f]

What bass would you buy...model,color,etc.?

Buy Squier Jazz 5 Active or Squier Jaco Jr fretless and enjoy the other $1600 elsewhere

 

[countrybass5]

Another Roscoe probably...

I would love to try a Roscoe...

I'd finish paying for my Birdsong 31" scale 5 string with Maple fretboard and Corto body in Spanish Cedar. Only 8 1/2 more months to go ...

 

[countrybass5]

I have a Hy5 in zebrawood...it is such a pleasure to play. You'll love your Birdsong.

 

[jwr]

New tattoo!

Oh wait, you said bass.


Ehhhh....

I dunno.

 

[countrybass5]

Any Carvin/Kiesel Bass.

I am leaning towards getting a Kiesel with my 2,000.

 

[ThaCoast]

I'd buy parts, lumber & build my own bass - as i'm doing now. & pocket the 1600$

 

[countrybass5]

PB5 is what I'm looking to buy. I'll have 2000 in Oct. What colors do you have?

What bass would you buy...model,color,etc.?

I don't know the dollar rate at the moment but depending on that I would either have something made( I like it simple which is usually not all too expensive) or save up a little and then have something made.

 

[TrevorOfDoom]

Assuming I'm not having to replace any bass I already own...

a Roscoe.

 

[bassliner50]

No bass. Would pay for 6 months auto insurance. (New York State)
