My 1992 Fender MIJ '62 Reissue Jazz Bass will not go away until they pry it from my cold dead hands.

These three. Stingray HS Ice Blue, 2009, purchased it brand new, 2007 Corvette Standard, a delight in sound and construction, and the 2011 Thumb Bolt On, which is probably the most amazing bass I have owned, heavy as a bad marriage, but being used to the heavy Stingray, I find it comfortable and awesome. I can understand those who say they sell it because it is heavy, but in my case I would wear this dense piece of bubinga for days.

I don't know - in the end they are all expendable tools. But my US Hamer would be the last to go. If not else, it demands respect for surviving me falling on top of it from a stage and bringing me back to the bass playing game. It being a smoking bass otherwise as well does not hurt either.
I'm drooling over that Stingray! Never saw a pickup configuration like that on a Stingray before. Plus that color - yowsa!
Sorry.didn't know I'd already posted that. Lol on meds for torn rotator cuff so forgive me if I write something stupid. Usually play a 5 string 96 jazz. Gotta gig this Saturday. Think I'm gonna play my Coronado. It's light as a feather. Gonna string it bead. Shoulder ain't gonna be able to handle that jazz bass. I certainly hope any of yall have to go through a injury like this. Painful but playing bass is my passion. At least it's my right shoulder. Some sweet basses in this thread .thanks
It is actually a Stingray in the HS configuration, it has a hidden phantom coil that avoids pick up noise in certain positions. I find it funny that I wanted to expose it with this clear pickguard, and have had some folks saying "Yours is a false because MusicMans never came with two single coils blah blah". Here is a picture of it when it arrived, brand new, back in october 2009. As you can see, the color has..."evolved", and the original pickguard, here shown brand new, has now turned into some kind of greenish hue.

My SR500F (& probably my EB3 copy as well---my first bass)
And that is the complete list of the basses I have owned.

The modded and molested '69 Gibson EB-0 in my avatar. She gets buried with me. My kids can enjoy the rest of my guitars and basses.
Had this 26 years and counting. My Dad got it for me in 7th grade. It will be the last one standing if life ever requires such a sacrafice. Only thing that's changed is the high mass bridge from my Dean and a pair of quarter pounders. About to get disassembled for a paint job however. It's time.
@BBassBassington Pearlescent Root Beer. Matching headstock. Black out the bridge with gold brass saddles and brass knobs. Black tuners. The Old Man likes the idea too. Lettering in gold by a sign painter.
Damn that sounds really cool! If you remember when it's done you should totally post a picture of it in this thread.
Will do!! It's gonna be a sweet one. Thanks man!Damn that sounds really cool! If you remember when it's done you should totally post a picture of it in this thread.
