Squier P which came home in a box. I got tired of the all-matching black with flames airbrush job so I painted the body Olympic White and clear-coated the custom painted pick guard.

Several mods including routing for a Duncan SPB-3 bridge pick-up, an SPB-1 is in the standard position, Stacked Vol/Tone plus a blend pot, Series/Parallel micro switch, Mighty-Mite neck finished in tinted lacquer, Fender Vintage-Nickel bridge and last but not least, LaBella Deep Talkin Flats.

Still comes in at around 8 lbs. and really has the Motown/blues vibe!

Thanks!!

All my "P" basses get jazz necks...I started a thread about it and basically got flamed...At my age I just find Jazz necks much more comfy and easier to play...
Is the Geddy neck a thinner profile than other Jazznecks? Even most stock J necks feel thick to me because I’m an Ibanez player. I’d probably get a P if I could get a thin profile J neck.
 
White P with a black guard screams punk to me, and here is the king brandishing his weapon.

This is one of three basses I lust after I still haven't added to my collection. I've been looking hard art some PJ70 basses CIJ lately. That or a Dee Dee Ramone sig, but those are harder to find. Want, want, want.

I have the very exact same bass with him, except it's a MIJ reissue, 2017 made. The only change I made was strung it with LaBella DTB. It's an old photo

the CIJ Geddy necks were/are very thin front to back
the MIM Geddy Necks are a little thicker front to back
The USA Geddy necks are the thickest of the Geddy necks front to back

CIJ Geddy Neck Specs:

Neck Profile: Small C-shape
Neck Thickness (IN): 1st: .73" / 12th: .88"
Fingerboard Radius: 9.50
Nut Width: 1-1/2 in

MIM Geddy Neck Specs:

Neck Profile: C profile
Neck Thickness (IN): 1st fret: .78" / 12th fret: .89"
Fingerboard Radius: 9.50
Nut Width: 1-1/2 in

I'm not sure of the measurements for the USA version (I'm still looking) but the difference is perceptible to my hands

you have to remember than there are many Jazz profile necks out there...though they are all 1.5" at the nut...they range from 7.25" radius all the way up to a 12" radius...I prefer 9.5" to 10" radius...they just feel right in my hand

then there are basses with compound or multiple radii !!!
