I like my PJ with the Jazz neck, but I do like the Precision body shape. It's just looks, but I like it. It took me awhile to come around to the Jazz shaped body.

I suppose that's a good compromise, if you want a Precision, but you like the Jazz neck feel. I don't even know if I'm going to totally switch back to long scale basses or not. I have noticed the short scales are easier to manage when I'm sitting, although when I'm standing, the long scale is OK. I guess I'll just keep playing around with it, and whatever happens, happens.

Like you said a while back, shorties for you somewhat work good for you as you play a 6 stringer as well. I'm in the other direction with the long playing, and feeling better. I really do like playing this bass. It's my solution for playing a Precision. Image

That's true, it's still a Precision, even though it has a Jazz neck. Come to think of that, the Precision Bass Lyte has a Jazz size neck on it, too. I know the body is slightly smaller, as well.

I did have that MIA Special Run PJ a few years a go. I should have hung on to that one.

I think I remember the one you're talking about. Was it Olympic White?

No, that one was only available in 3-Tone Sunburst.

Yeah, but then GAS gets a hold of you and you have to sell something to pay for it. I know that song. :roll: Imagine if you didn't have to do that, and could buy things outright. That's when you have 500 guitars laying around the house. :P

In my case, I'd have a bunch of amps around. Yeah,........ and a few basses too.

You and me both. Probably enough to even open a music store ourselves. Although, you've been around a lot longer and were able to get more stuff, so you'd have a hell of a lot more inventory.

It could be easy to do if the cash was there without any troubles.

That's for sure. If I had the cash, I'd also be playing a real Hofner instead of a $100 knock off, but it's better than nothing. Then again, there are other hollow body bass options out there, as well.

I had the German Hofner, and for me it wasn't that comfortable to play. It was like the body was too small, or too light. I don't know. The Gibson EB-2 I think it was, was a decent hollow body bass.
