Naive is to think j can't. There are so many different configurations Fender provide for j bass, so it's understood that for closest exploring everyone could find his standart.
If You could have a chance to choose any of worlds basses to have a new years gig, which one would You preffer ? I don't need this chance, because i already own my best think worlds greatest bass Ibanez GWB 1005.
What bass would You choose for free, between these 2 brands - good Ibanez that You like or good Fender that You also like? Only the models that are currently in production !!!
The thing is that i talked all the time of this kind of bass and said that i would not called it a normal bass anyway. I don't really care about the strings.
