Updated last week.

 

Bought 4 Jazz basses this year and sold 1.

Pretty good net gain I reckon.

Don't think I'll be buying another bass for a very, very long time...

My very first bass arrived today: Squier Affinity Jazz Bass in charcoal metallic grey. Now the journey begins.. I am 50, it's definitely NOT a midlife crisis. 😁

That looks great! The Affinity series have improved massively in quality over the last few years so I'm sure you'll have an excellent time playing that.

My 15 year-old son already plays guitar, so he's had the first go (seeing as I am going to be learning from scratch). He likes it a lot, sounds good through the Eden Orbiter 10 amp I got with it. 😀

I've got one of those too, they're great basses for the money. Used it on studio sessions plenty of times and it always does the job 👍 Welcome to the club!

That's a lovely looking example - I haven't owned a 'real' Fender for years as my 3 Squiers (including a 2007 Affinity model) do everything I need. I don't think you could have picked a better instrument for your journey.. 😃

Newly acquired 2002 MIJ 62 Reissue, came with a white pickguard which didn't last long.

2004 MIM Jazz Standard. 

I Saved as a teenager for this, my first ‘proper’ bass.

 

No matter what else I play, this one always feels like home.

I had one of these!!! By the time I'd finished with it the only original parts remaining were the body and neck. It was really beaten up, I'd even used wood filler in places... But it sounded fantastic!! The colour is great too.

I like jazz basses. And jazzmaster guitars. It's all got very Jazzy in here. NBD thread coming soon...

Yeah in honesty I only use it at home now but if I was to start using it live again I’d replace the pups as they don’t have much growl. 
 

The bridge was replaced in about 2008 as the old one was ripping my hand to bits. 
 

But, the neck is superb and I’ve had many comments that it’s nicer than a lot of American Fenders much more experienced players have played. Although I’m not sure that’s saying much these days 😂

Made a couple of mods to my Squier Jazz. Changed the pickguard for a Pearloid one and added a fender High Mass Bridge. She lookin pretty if I do say so myself.

I had Bartolinis in mine, sounded great. In very hot summers the neck moved a lot though and I ended up trading it in when buying a brand new Stingray.

For the first time ever, 3 5-string Jazzes in the house. And boy, are they great. 

 

The Sadowsky has left the house. It was replaced by a Van der End, so the fiver Jazz stable now looks like this:

What a stunning collection. What is the bridge pickup on the VDE? Looks like a humbucker attached to a J pickup. 

[BassAgent]

Thanks! It's an MM/J combination

I suggest you simply deposit your credit card at your nearest music shop... You'll get to know all the staff by name very soon, probably be in their Xmas card list for this year as well...
