I just re-read the thread , it strays a bit off topic at times .
heh …
I think my Jr remains my favourite bass although I tend to still use Danos on gigs .
But at home the Jr is the first one I pick up to play . I’m normally a flatwound guy , but I’ve kept fresh Gibson BriteWire strings on the Jr . I loved the factory string sound . Just picked up two more sets the other day .
The neck simply feels perfect to me . Still love the sound of it , I put a chrome cover and surround on it . Still might replace the bridge at some point , but didn’t have any problems setting it exactly where I wanted things , haven’t had to touch it since . There’s really no reason to change it .
There is a little wear on the back , it’s just a cheap finish . I’ve been tempted to pick up a second one , but one is really enough . I did buy an SG because I loved the Jr . I prefer the Jr , though I must say the SG is growing on me .
So that’s about it . It might be slightly expensive for a “student” bass , but my only original complaint was not buying it before I did . It’s still my favourite thing to play .
Love it .
