1988 Fender P, MIJ of COURSE!
very plain vanilla, i know, but I like it that way. Soon to have a nice black pickguard.
Dang. That's a nice Tripod Box. I bet thats MIJ too, eh?
1985 Ibanez musician, I look for stuff made in japan before I look for stuff made in the US.

i think i would buy a jaguar before i got a standard jazz bass... but i bet that puppy would look sweet with a black pickguard and a geddy neck...
1988 MIJ Jazz
Has the best tone I have heard from a Fender Jazz yet, blows away the MIA 60th Anniv Jazz I was gassing over before I bought this.

One of the cool things about them is that their neck is the only other fender sized the same as the Geddy neck.
brandonwong said:MIJ... CIJ...
What's the difference?
nothing really, i just think people refer to the newer fender stuff as CIJ, but i have always used MIJ, just like MIM and MIA.
well i prefer MIJ cos of the john entwistle song of the same name, it just makes me chuckle when i play it.
as for the jag neck it is amazing i couldnt believe how thin it was when i got it (i was playing an epi t bird for a few months and a yamaha 5 string for a few years before that so the neck was a real shock).
i would personaly choose the jag over the geddy neck
1) the inlays ARE actually inlayed
2) as much as i love full maple necks the jag one with its MOP blocks on RW is just ace
3) its got JAGUAR on it hehe and the R curls (ever since i started playing i always wanted a jag bass bit fender only did Bass VI in jag style, now im happy tho)
I dont know about the black plate tho a tort one like jp only would be nice.
nice sting sig there basstones, i always loved tele basses (infact my 2 guitars are teles)

1) i didn't know geddy's wasn't inlaid.
2) I wish they would make one with maple then, with black block INLAYS
3) Jaguar would be on there if they made it with a maple ala geddy, that was what i really meant.
I too have a bass vi fetish, but the bass vi was already sort of a jaguar type animal. not to say i like the baritone jaguar tho. and you can always drop a load on the fender custom shop VIs they are making for this year only!
or drop some on the old MIJ reissues. or drop a ton of cash and get a real one... my friend has owned 3 of them, including a sunburst 62, and his main axe now, a 63 in original blonde finish, the only one most people have ever seen in blonde...I like black on black with a maple fretboard, that's my style, wouldn't expect everyone to love the same thing otherwise we would only have sunburst, lol.
Geddys are inlayed. I think there may have been a period of time where they werent, though. Or maybe they stopped and now the new ones are not. Either way I know Nino Valenti cut open his geddy neck to reveal real inlays.

The ones made in the last few years are painted on. Before that, they were inlays. Here is the thread you are referring to:

that aerodyne is nice pseek, i love the binding it reminds me of a tele.
eboe i would LOVE a bass VI but i just cant get the cahones to rob my local bank/post office (sorry i got mcvicar ost on hehe). although if they did a nice antigar (have i spelled that right?) jag bass or even a bass 6 i may do it out of the madness that would seep into my brain from the sheer beauty of it.
