I've been playing Jazz basses for years. My latest is a 2006 (50th anniversary ) American made Fender Jazz Bass Deluxe. Great basses! Good luck with yours. How long have you been playing? I'm going on 46 years...Yep, I'm old...lol
I love my Jazz bass... MIA basses are pricey, but nice to the "made in u.s.a" on the head stock. I'm not far behind you. The 83-84 white (now aged yellow) Fender P-bass in previous post, bought new... original owner... and I gig'd it after purchasing.:)

I always wanted to own a P Bass because of it's classic sound that James Jamerson made famous, but the neck was a bit too fat for my hands.

BTW, these are my current basses from left to right
1979 Kramer DMZ 5000 (aluminium neck)
2012 Lakland Skyline Darryl Jones DJ4
2006 Fender Jazz Deluxe, 60th Anniversary (USA)

Nice collection, but all your basses have a bridge pup. I use a Sansamp preamp with my Jazz bass to give a little on the subs, but my p-bass sound cuts through the mix without a preamp. I think you need to add a p-bass to your collection. The 1.75 nut isn't that uncomfortable to play. I don't have any issues rotating my p-bass and jazz... but I admit the Jazz neck feels better. We lost a great bass player (J. Jamerson) this year... RIP.

I want to add a PJ bass like your Kramer... but a Fender brand MIA or MIM. That would complete my collection. BTW are those Dimarzio pup's on the Kramer? Great pup's, I use them on my p-bass.

They are DiMarzio pickups with dual windings with a series/parallel toggle switch. BTW, James Jamerson died in 1983. Were you talking about his son?

Yes... Left out the "Jr.". I'm out of town in Denver at a conference. Not very good posting from my iPhone. Proof I'm getting old.:(

You're old? lol I'll be 64 this May 2nd. BTW, I had no idea James Jr. died. Great bass player in his one right. I forgot to mention, I see you have what appears to be a Hartke KickBack amp. I have the 12" model with a factory 12" paper cone I bought back in the 90's.

Decided to order the same thing as @SchneiderMan since he seems to like them very much. I've never been thrilled with the taste of most protein bars I've tried in the past, but I'm willing to give these a try.

Been an expensive week. Needed a new pair of headphones, so I got 3. :D

1) Amazon Premium Headphones. Usually I swear by EarPods, but i wanted to try something different. Damn, the sound from these is so amazing! I'd say they're on par with EarPods for 1/2 the price.

2) Powerbeats 2 Wireless, Yellow. I needed some wireless headphones for the gym since wired headphones always get in the way. I remembered these from he Taylor Swift + Apple commercial, so why not? I love how vibrant the yellow looks!

3) Beats Solo2 Wireless On-Ear Headphones, Space Gray. I decided I wanted some headphone for when I'm relaxing around the house that are super comfortable.

Now I'm ready for the removal of headphone jacks. Bring it on, Apple!
