So jazz basses are overpriced and impractical?

Well, they certainly have no space for luggage.

If they were dogs, the PBass growls, the JBass barks.

At least it’s not a FIAT

Years ago I went to work for a contractor building shovels and rakes and other implements of destruction for our Uncle Sam. My boss was an Italian guy who married a WAF captain when she was stationed in Europe. The first time I met my new boss he told me he worked at FIAT as a machine shop manager before coming to America. I couldn’t help myself and said, “WOW! And they hired you here anyway?”. I was surprised by his angry reaction and even when i told him I was joking he was still furious. We managed to work it out over the next few days and became good friends before it was all said and done.

The precision is a Vega.

My Fender in it’s case barely, barely fit across a Vega. Had to be wedged.
That bass isn’t in this discussion, it was a Telebass.

Hey - I had a V8 Vega, and it had a very fast neck ( snap ).

I almost died in a V8 Vega, buddy hit a pickup at 100. Got a headful of stitches.

Sometimes a Chevy outperforms a Ferrari.

 

[Black Out Jazz]

A jazz bass sounds best with both pickups off.

If Fender P is a Chevy, then Rogue P is a Chevy Cavalier.

Nice! Tell me about that black neck.

Nothing gets by you very easily!

I invite you and everybody to my recent thread which will explain this and another custom Jazz Bass I did.

I drove mine faster than that, but never hit anything thank God. I had Camaro 14" front disks and a Nova 10-bolt rear end for the drum brakes ( and to keep the engine from destroying the car ).

I am very glad you survived. Besides rust, Vega's were know as one of the least safe vehicles around.
Even before you dropped a V8 into one. PS - they made create gear haulers for gigs though ( hatchback ).

Ours had a 2.73 gear, we guesstimated it would do 140 on the interstate. We had slid sideways for a hundred feet before taking out the C10 pickup. Scrubbed off a little speed. .30over 283 11.5:1 solid cam Holley and Hooker.

Chevy sucks, and a jazz bass isn’t that fancy..
