I jumped on a deal a few weeks ago and snagged an American Deluxe Fretless Jazz. I liked it but I'm much more practiced at guitar than at bass and while the fretless was fun I had trouble playing it in company--in part because it was just harder to get my fingers in position on more complicated parts and in part just because it was hard to read a tab sheet or the lyrics and play at the same time because I needed to glance at the neck for positioning.
Anyway, a MiA precision showed up in the local market and I offered the jazz in a trade and surprisingly the guy took me up on it. He's a cool guy, plays in a prog brand.
Anyway, here it is. Like it a lot, neck feels a touch thicker than the MiM precision I got not long before (and whose neck I had to un-fuck by strapping it to a torture rack for a week or so), but not uncomfortable. I did have to add some knobs and I swapped the guard out with the one from the MiM bass because I've never really liked tortoiseshell that much--don't hate it but it always seems like the 3rd or 4th best choice.
Anyway, a guy had a loaded unknown-origin jazz-style body which I hoped would work for the neck. Wound up getting that--it took some doing to get the neck on there, had to route out the neck pocket some and use a shim, but in the end got it playable with the FSR jazz neck and it feels great and sounds pretty good, so have a serviceable jazz-ish alongside the precisions.
Here's the frankenbass:
