I'm kinda intrigued by the Jaguar Thinlines. I doubt I'd ever want one, but they're just odd enough to pique my interest.

I just know a little bit of the Fender lore, from hanging out online. I prefer inexpensive instruments.

Fenders ARE inexpensive instruments.
my bassman, hand wired in 1966 was $500.
An almost 50 year old, hand wired tube amplifier made in america...$500. strats and tele's. new and vintage go for WAY under their gibson counterparts and fenders economy line is the best in the business(classic vibe squiers).

The guitar I play most is a $275 mexican telecaster.
Its one of the things I LOVE about fender actually.
sorry* extreme fender fanboi here.

FWIW, my 65 Alamo Paragon Bass was 250 shipped cross country, hand wired in Texas with original tubes

So, fenders are expensive gear snob shit compared to Alamo! haha

I've been jonesing for a hollow body bass for a while. These look nice but the Hagstroms take the cake imo. Also those Gibson Midtown basses look alright but way overpriced.
