Nice! I was just looking at a couple of Kahler brass bridges on eBay yesterday. Sorta interested as they aren't priced too bad but I'd have to make a really lightweight bass to offset the weight of these beauties.
Curious, if you had to pick just 1, which would it be?
That's really tough. If it was lighter the Dimension would be the clear winner but it does get hard on the shoulder after a while.
So it'd probably come down to the Jazz or the 75th P. Jazz plays a bit better, P is a bit lighter. They both sound great but different and are very pretty in different ways.
Depending on the moment any of those 3 will do.

I had a feeling you would mention the Dimension. I used to have one for a few years, a 4HH. It was an amazing bass but I ended up trading it last year. I do tend to prefer my StingRays over the Dimension but only very slightly. I love the look of yours with that unique pickguard. I'm assuming you made that pickguard change?
I used to have an EBMM Stingray 4H! And I slightly prefer the Dimension, so that's pretty funny.
It's the stock pickguard with some vinyl stuck on it. Custom guards are too expensive and I don't have the tools or skills to make them. So vinyl is my best compromise solution. One of these days I'm hoping to be able to actually cut the shape nicely.

Really enjoying these the last few weeks
1978 Shergold Marathon. Gutsy, makes me want to play Rush.
My old 77 Jazz. Ditto on the Rush.
And the baby of the bunch, FBass VF5J. Again with the Rush.

Super cool read every week. I always look forward to it.
Oh! The horror!
New member here, I played in rock metal bands years ago with a yamaha RBX765A. Ended up with a crappy unnamed P bass, "customised", then a 8 year hiatus.. brings us to 2021 where I am rebuilding this bass, and really seriously thinking about the Fender MIM player P bass, to kick start it off again.
