I play a Fender Highway One Jazz Bass for over 11 years and this is my main bass, but about 2 years ago I wanted a Precision Bass, which I got back then (a Japanese Fender), which is great, I love its simplicity and used the bass quite a lot, mainly for my alternative rock band (the Jazz Bass was more for my jazz band).
But I wanted more, and I decided to order a high end P Bass (will not tell the name of the builder, but it was in the 2K range as opposed to my other two Fenders which are around 1k), which in the end I sent back because it had construction flaws which was not acceptable at all for 2K.
After sending it back I got another Japanese Fender for another 1K, which is essentially as my first one, but older (1997 as opposed to 2013), and I dig its colour and slight dings and ageing more. I just liked how it looks, and I bought it.
Now I have two identical Japanese Fenders, and I do not need two, but I cannot decide which one to keep. They sound and play identical, the turquoise one sounds a bit too middy, but I am thinking to swap the pickup, but looks better to me and is older.
I wanted to sell the sunburst one when I got the high end P Bass, but it did not sell, and now I have two basses, and no high end P Bass.
Both basses are good, but I wanted a higher end P Bass, which went wrong, and now I have an extra bass. What are your thoughts on this?
Should I sell them both and go high end again, or rather look for a vintage Fender?
