Very nice and pretty rare, but that price is steep! I think these were around 900 USD new if you could fine one, excluding shipping?

Edit: Just switched the site to USD and it looks a lot better now.

It’s a tad steep but I’ve seen them go that high or close. Hope it’s worth it!

Good grab Matt. You don't see these too often. Looks to be in great shape. Looking to hear how you like it!

I’ve seen a couple (and missed out because I hesitated), but they do rarely pop up.

I wonder the same thing. Drastically different I’m sure, the Sire being active and all. This Jazz is just basically a passive 60s RI with a 5th string added, which is what I’ve been wanting for years. The Sire is still at least a couple months away from shipping so maybe I’ll keep it too.

Olympic white is my favorite. A cliche combo for sure, but I don’t care. Always looks awesome 8-)

Yeah, something about Oly white. My most impulsive bass purchase ever was the beat-up old oly white G&L:

viewtopic.php?f=13&t=7635&p=52128&hilit=sb+1#p52128

Impulsive as in buying a bass I didn't even know I wanted before I saw it, but once I did, I had to have it for some damn reason. The only bass I've had longer is my L-2000.
