A US Fender standard jazz with a maple board.
I've always wanted a bass with a Maple board and I have an almost pointless urge to keep a second fretted jazz bass strung with nylon wound strings.

Me???...Either of the Alembics belonging to Bassmachine or Spinal Tap..

Charlie Thornton's unbelievably well priced Warwick Thumb...sorry can't find it..

I'd have a serious think about Gary's Alembic S1 (if it hadn't already sold)..

..Or the very lovely (and reasonably priced) Zon which seems to have disappeared..

Of course, by far the best of the lot...

If you intend to keep to the ska/two-tone genre, Jamie, I am not sure a Jazz would cut through enough for you. [/quote]

I did a punk/reggae/ska band for two years mostly playing a Jazz, works a treat. I also noticed the bass player for The Skints is now playing a Jazz, as is the bassist for The Drop. The guy for The Beat uses a P though so there's some balance. Stingrays and their ilk only really show up in American 3rd-wave (read: rubbish) ska-pop bands.
