You can slap a bird! Chuck does it all the time.I can't think of 1 single reason to play a Jazz bass unless it has Thunderbird pickups in it (I have 2, including a '66 I've had since '83). Of course I don't slap, so there's that.

I only play thru Mark Bass stuff by coincidence...... my buddy needed brakes on his car and had a MB 4x10 cab to offer as partial trade..... and my quest for a lightweight head landed me a MB Little Mark unit from the TB classifieds.I’m in the shallow club here, so I kinda back off the Markbass stuff because of the tonka toy yellow plastered all over everything. But I have to admit, I’ve never heard a louder and better sounding super compact 12” combo than the CMD121P. Pricey and fugly but it really fills a room with an amazingly small footprint and only 25 pound weight.

800Watt at 4Ohm of fairly flat response to 20kHz coming in at just under 40 lbs.....don't care if it looks like the inside of a Denny's...I only play thru Mark Bass stuff by coincidence...... my buddy needed brakes on his car and had a MB 4x10 cab to offer as partial trade..... and my quest for a lightweight head landed me a MB Little Mark unit from the TB classifieds.
I like the yellow, matches my 79 Blazer that I've owned for 33 years.

So happy for you! You deserve this. My 2013 is by far my #1 bass. Only difference between yours and mine is yours came stock with a Babicz bridge. Great bridge. I have a SuperTone on mine and love it.
