Not when it comes to identifying what model it is. But it does give me a sneaky suspicion that it could be a Reissue spec bass of some sort. Tell me, is the headstock normal Fender size or the larger CBS sized version?

To Tell the truth, I'm not sure. I've never had a Fender nor have played one enough to know the size.
But It seems pretty regular to me.
Oh. I know its supposed to be a jazz bass.
All circled things are missing, but holes are there for them.

The Precision. I have a dislike of Stingrays and I find 5 strings to be cunts to play.

Ah, well, it's all just about preference.

I like my Stringray due to it's extremely thin and versatile neck... it's got great action. That's actually a knock-off OLP MusicMan, but the day I got it I swapped out the pickup with that of an authentic Stingray, and I still occasionally use it nowadays.

The P-Bass I'm not a big fan of... I mean don't get me wrong, it's got great tone, decent action, and the slap-pop sound is really punchy... there's just something about it I don't like.

The Jackson C5A... that thing's my baby. It was my first high-end bass I ever owned, and I've had it for about 6 years now. I will never get rid of that thing -- everything about it is just perfect to me.

And the Warwick... Best bass I own.

I actually find 5-strings more comfortable to play. I don't know what it is... maybe it's the strings being closer together, which allows for easier and quicker string-hopping, or faster, more precise slapping (to me, anyway...) I know there's a lot of bassists out there that will just completely tear up a 4-string (Victor Wooten, anyone?) But... I guess I'd just take a 5-string over a 4-stringer any day.

Hello, I am not a bassist, but I'd just like to say: The electric bass is ONe of the most awesome instruments ever and I salute you for playing it despite racism against bassists.

Also, Stingrays (5 and 4 string) and Jazz Basses are freaking hot.

And ricks, of course.

also, i got my hands on a pretty sweet guitar-strap, it's from the JS series from planet waves, colours nicely with my bass.

also, is somebody here able to play 'to defy the laws of traditions' from primus? i'm not able to pull of les' strumming with his fingers, and then i completely go black and start sucking.

Got a pic of the strap / on your bass?

And yeah. Laws of Tradition can be tricky, but keep on tryin' ... you'll get it. How long you been playin'?
