I bought a 1998 MIM stock black Jazz bass today at the local shop. $300 out the door. This thing's awesome. I'll figure out how to do pics here in a little bit, hopefully. Thank you Fender!

Congrats! Looking forward to seeing it.
The pics are pretty simple. Upload the pics to Photobucket, Imgur, or some other photo site. Copy the img link for the pic you want to post. Post the img link.

Thanks guys. I'm gonna have to wait for my niece to do the pics. She has a good camera. I'll give a quick review.

This bass is about as Fender as it gets. It took two Fender factories to make it. As a bass nitpicker, I've never seen a more perfect example in fit and finish from any bass. I had the guy at the shop mix and match a few MIM '98's to make it. I picked the neck due to it's beautiful pau ferro fingerboard.

No mods!

If this bass sports a pao ferro fretboard then it would be a MIM Standard Jazz Bass V with the Gotoh Mini tuners arranged in a 5-in-line configuration. Fender switched to rosewood fingerboards in 2006.

Haha not this time.

I posted pics on another website, but you can't really see the details.
