What would you do? Fender vs MM

Thanks so much everybody for every word!! Many different opinions made me think more about it. You really helped me!

Nope, I would not trade a StingRay for a Marcus Jazz. I dont like active Fenders, and the looks of the Marcus does not appeal to me.

I would sell the Squier and put the $ toward a used US Jazz Bass. Be patient.

Now im thinking about keep the StingRay and wait for money and buy an american jazz bass.

I think i like the StingRay and thats a bass i want to keep, i would love the Marcus Miller JB too, but the ray have a killing sound that i want to keep in my arsenal, so, in the future ill manage to buy an american jazz bass.

Yesterday i recorded that, and it helpmed me to change my mind a little:

 
Go for which ever one you’ll play more. It’s a good trade if you’re happier in the end. I recently traded and American Standard Jazz for a Jack Casady 20th anniversary straight up. I technically lost in the trade. But, I consider it a win because I just didn’t bond with that particular jazz. And I LOVE the JC.

Oh, man!

You can never lose with a Jack Casady!

Good luck with it! :thumbsup:

I agree! I bought a gold top used a few months ago. Liked it so much I wanted another.
