Been searching for a replacement for my old MIM jazz, alas to no avail. May have to go searching for an older CV-5 with the matching headstock like the one posted, that thing is giving me serious G.A.S. pains.

I suppose now would be a prudent time to ask if the OP was asking about NEW >$500 basses or not?
