    I looked one over at GC a coupla weeks ago. Same as that one -- 3TSB, R/W "Tuxedo" neck. Seemed pretty righteous to me as far as "off the rack" gitts go. Price was right as well.

    Go fer it!

    Yeah I'm a sucker for them tuxedo necks. My brother's the bassist in the family though. He has an original '66 Precision and a Geddy Lee re-issue so I built him this '66 J-Bass clone for his birthday......

    I had a chance to play one of these in Ct. when I was up there for the jam.

    It was a great feeling bass and had NO fret or weird neck issues I have read some compalints about. I couldn't throttle it through an amp so I can't tell you about the sound...but it felt great - which in my book accounts for a big bpart of my love for an instrument.
