Harry's Guitar Shop had three of them on the wall today. Two had both P and J pups, the third had only a larger, G&L type pickup in the bridge position. I was more curious about that one but didn't get a chance to try it out.

So, I can now eat my words.  Who cares if I already have a dozen basses???

My favorite local store had a silver VM Jag with the P/J pickups at $169, plus 15% off on Memorial Day.  After noodling around on one for 20 minutes, I decided that for $144.50, it was too much to resist.  (And my birthday's June 11th, so I can rationalize it as a b'day present to me.)

Here's a stock photo of my new toy - my own pix will follow soon!  It's short scale and sounds really nice - plenty of depth.  With the tone up it's pretty bright, but with the tone knob rolled off halfway, not bad at all.  Very soon a set of labella or D'Addario flats will grace it.

LOVE that black headstock with the black pickguard!

I love it!  I might have to have just one.  Man, cool little bass.  Much better styling than the mustang reissues.
Bill they have one at the HOG nice little bass for the $ can't go wrong. Btw I though the Mustang reissue was nicely done, what did you not like about it ?

We Geminis are entitled to decide one moment that we have enough basses, then change our minds in the next moment - right?  ;D

News flash - my wife and I agreed to make it my Father's Day present instead of b'day present.

Either way, I win.

Did more noodling last night - when comparing it to my Bronco which has a Gretsch 2202 TV Jones pickup, I can't say it has the same depth or output - but that means it's similar to most of my other basses.  That darn 2202 pickup is one hot puppy.

The Bronco:
