Is this reverb still for sale? Does it come with an adaptor? If not, what did you use it with? Cheers

So after the the recommends on here to get a P bass, I got a Jazz after all! It was a deal too good to miss - 6 years old but hadn't been out of the case for the last 5. I love it. It plays like a dream and the sounds great too.
But don't worry - I kept the Ibanez. So now I've got two great basses.
And here they are -
I'm checking out a bass at the weekend - an MIM Fender Jazz. I'll obviously see if the neck is straight, if there's any buzzes and dead spots, but is there anything else I should look for?
Any info. much appreciated... -
Hey guys, thanks for all the input. Yes - my Ibanez is active and does have roundwounds on it. I tried both Fender and Squier Precisions at the weekend. Great sound, but I just couldn't get along with the neck. Just too chunky, especially after the Ibanez. I'll try the Jazz again, and with flats 'cos I've never used them.
Yes - I don't really have the 'need' for another bass, but I could do with a back up, and I just fancied getting another one! I suppose I've come to the conclusion that the Ibanez does really do all the things that I want so I'll probably go for a Squier to keep costs down.
All other recommends welcome though! -
I play an Ibanez Roadster RS924 which I bought in 1987. It lay dormant for about 20 years until I started playing again about 4 years ago. It still plays and sounds great, but I wouldn't mind getting another bass (I suppose we all get these impulses now and then!). I play in a band with a post-punk sound and I can get a great trebly New Order sound with the Ibanez, but I now also play a more 60s soul influenced sound. I've got the cash for a new MIM Fender and I recently tried out a Jazz, 'cos I was told that would get that soul sound. It sounded great, but I'm now thinking that really the Fender Jazz would just be a duplicate of the Ibanez so perhaps I should be looking for something else.
I haven't experience of playing that many basses so I'd be interested to hear any comments. Is it worth getting the Fender Jazz, or could somebody recommend other basses which might be a bit different and worth looking at?
