I really really like that, I knew that it was a bad idea for me to click on the link.

I'm sure the Hot Rod was a short-lived production model?

This looks like 2008-11 'latest model' MIA Standard Precision which has been modded to take a J pickup. However, its done really nicely and the price isn't too bad given the new price of an American Standard P

Me to.... love that bass.

Hmmm... It looks really like a modded MIA that Warwickhunt used to own (and Bottomendian before that, I think)...

I really like the newer P's and J's. They look solid.

IIRC Warwickhunt's had a bit of the pickguard filed/cut away (near the '70s placed J p/u), presumably so that fingers or thumb didn't get wedged between p/u and pickguard. This doesn't appear to be the same, but it could just be the way the pictures have come out

I'm sure I've seen that before - recently, it stands out because of the way the burst 'fits' up onto the upper horn - which I find a little strange looking

It does 'look' like my old one but it isn't as that resides with my keyboard player. Oh and Bottomendian did own it... but I had it before and after him!

Oddly enough I advertised that bass on here and I got virtually no interest (I sold it for a LOT less than The Gallery bass) despite the pup installation being done at The Gallery and the bass having Nordstrands in it. If the bass had been a 1/2-1lb lighter I'd have most certainly kept it.



Oh and well remembered about the pickguard cut-away Clarky.
