On September 30th 1989 my dad took me to a mall store in Mexico City and was kind enough to supplement my savings (I must have paid about 80% of the price) to buy a brand new Epiphone Rock Bass which I still have... somewhere.

Of course, the occasion could not stay unmarked, so I got myself this beauty I've been gassing for. It is the 2nd brand new bass I ever bought, although I have a number of pre-owned instruments that I love dearly. So this is my 30th anniversary Ric, and I am enjoying it thoroughly!

That's a Jag with Jazz Pup config?!?!?! Custom job or did they make 'em that way at some point? It is a beaut! I'm a sucker for all the switches....
It's a 2010 MIJ Fender Jaguar Deluxe. The top plate is preamp on off, treble & bass boost/cut, the lower plate is pickups and series/parallel. Without preamp it's a Jazz, with preamp it's a Jazz on steroids. I don't really use it active, in fact there's not a battery in it at the moment. There were a few subtle variations to the model during its production. This one has the bridge pickup further back than traditional 70s spacing, earlier ones were 70s so this one is snarly and snotty. And thank you!

This was the first one I had. It's an earlier model in Hot Rod Red with the 70s spacing. It's somewhere else now hopefully making someone happy.
