My common-or-garden 2015 US Standard, which I picked up from FB marketplace about 6 months ago.

 

It has its fair share of dings, but you know what? It's absolutely great. Fit & finish is incredible, feels amazing, sounds amazing.

 

These things are a lot of bass for the money.

Without a doubt, one of the most incredible instruments I have ever seen, heard or played. The build quality and feel is well above many Custom Shop basses I've tried (IMO) and it just looks incredible too.

The stock preamp has been pulled in favor of a Bartolini one and it absolutely sings now.

 

Sadly I don't have a second one lol. But the chap I bought it from had both this IV and the V string version.

I did own a Victor Bailey sig acoustic bass years ago but completely different of course.

Yeah I remembered the TM sale but not if you got both of them 

 

lovely looking instrument - the blue one looks great as well I’m a sucker for a matching headstock

That looks superb. There’s just something about a Sunburst Jazz 👌

I recently picked up a new jazz bass...

MIJ active deluxe LTD. Beautiful to play and lovely tone. A nice companion to my Japanese Stingray. I like Japanese stuff, alright?

You've all seen it before but I thought it looked particularly good with a bit of light on and the Fender / Ampeg back drop..

I've got a pretty much identical 2015 American Std that I picked up from Bass Bros about three years ago for use in a Led Zep tribute. 

 

As you say, you can't really knock it - sounds like it's supposed to, looks the part, plays well and very robust. A great bass for not an awful lot of money. I've also got a 09 Am Std in natural with a white scratchplate, which is a really nice bass that I bought for less than a grand...!
