Your favorite P/J?

Thanks! It is a great bass! It's a Highway 1 body - buffed to gloss, and a Fender 'Genuine Replacement' neck PLUS the mods listed. I was originally going for a Tony Franklin vibe, and then I met Joinercape and he loaned me his Sadowsky PJ - I've gotten as close as I can... dang close for the $$$... but it is still not a 'real' Sadowsky.

Me with Jeff's Sadowsky...

Joinercape's Sadowsky is a beauty, I really like it, but your Fendowsky also looks great (and I bet it sounds great too).
 
I put this together this summer. No special tools needed, just blind faith and a lot of reading stuff here on TB. You can build a P/J on the cheap if you are patient and are willing to shop a little.

Best sounding P/J that I've tried is the Pedulla MVP. I have the Fretless model of that bass called the Buzz bass. It slays all my other Fender P/Js. The looks are a bit on the Hippie side but the feel, playability and tone are to die for.
