Just to hold my breath about that silly question, but I just saw this picture of Stanley Clarke playing a pre-2010 American Deluxe Jazz Bass with post-2010 electronics and an HMV bridge!

Its possible to mod the pre-2010 US Deluxe Jazzes with many of the post-2010 specs?

Anything is possible!! If He dreamed it probably the Fender Custom Shop or any other luthier did build it. These mods aren't that difficult to do. All you need is the cash!

Stanley isn't a Fender artist.

But it's the first time I see him with a Fender in his hands! :P

Nice idea to combine the pre-2010 designs with many of the post-2010 features. 8)

In the case of the Precision the body should be altered to accommodate the N3 Jazz bridge pickup as it's routed for a Bill Lawrence humbucker.

The second time I've seen him with a Fender. He probably was invited to sit in for a song at someone else's gig. He is a partner in Spellbinder Corp which makes Spellbinder basses, so he plays the ones his company makes.

You said in a recent post that Fender standardized the US Deluxes by deleting a few key features.

Now it's time to bring back the pre-2010 stylings and incorporate many of the post-2010 elements on them (since Stanley Clarke uses those American Deluxe hybrid basses).
