i just bought a fender traditional jazz bass from a shop in singapore .. coost only 600 sing dollars .. its made in us .. but the difference i see on appearance is at the pickguards .. it doesn't have a metal piece near its jack ... a normal fender mia jazz cost usually abt a thousand singapore dollars .. anyone knows why the bass is so cheap ? oh yeah and i'm really sad to hear abt what happen in the states ... and this is something i found ... "In the City of God there will be a great thunder, Two brothers torn apart by Chaos, while the fortress endures, the great leader will succumb" , "The third big war will begin when the big city is burning" - Nostradamus 1654 - 2 brothers = twin tower ? fortress = pentagon ? theres only the burning city left ... i hope it doesn't come true ...
