Basses in order of playing:
1. 1999 Fender MIA Standard Precision, Rosewood board Ash Natural, tort guard, SD SPB-2 Hot Stack: Just replaced my SD 1/4 lbrs with 'em: love 'em. +8 lbs light, 1.625" shallow C neck. Thinking about going the TUNG oil route on the back of the neck...

2. 2006 Fender CIJ '51 re-issue, 2T burst Swamp ash, Maple board, modified with 4 saddle string through bridge, SD 1/4 pounder PUP. +8 lbs light, wonderful neck: 1.625" but fuller then the MIA P

3. (maybe moving to 2.) 2000 Fender MIA Standard Jazz, finally fitted with a Warmoth Maple/Maple P-bass neck (shaped to match my '51 re-issue with TUNG oil back and Nitro fretboard sealed...it's now the Shnitz!!!), Alder Tobacco Burst finish, parchment guard, SD 1/4 lb pups.

4. 76 Fender Precision, de-fretted maple board, black (Alder or Ash??? Heavy instrument), added Pyramid Guitars of Detroit humbucker in bridge position, GOTOH top loader bridge (replaced a BadASS 1 that was on there before)

5. Fender Jaco Artist series Jazz stock:super neck. Great instrument, just not getting the love she deserves...
