Looks more like (perhaps) schedua top and back, not koa top and walnut back.

Wow, I have triple omega JPJ with anniversary electronics now long scale now...I love the bass but I've sometimes wondered if the 32 scale would suit me better. That with the Series 1 electronics. Hmmm, should I try to sell my JPJ and go for this one? Tempting.

You should buy this one now and see which one you like better.

Bill has it right. If money allows, it's always better to buy and try before letting go of the known quantity. Shorter scale lengths are awesome for a little extra speed or comfort moving around the neck.

Of course, if you are like most around here, you'll end up keeping both.

You mean there's a recession going on?

Not for me. I'm a government man.

You mean you're officially in denial?

Well, my Alembics are worth more now than a year ago.
I can't say the same for my stocks.
I should have bought more Alembics!!

PS. That bass is in your neck of the woods, maybe time for you to invest.

Beautiful. Really tempting !

My spare cash is sitting a few vintage Fenders.
I expect a serious ROI on those.

I hear ya! The old Fenders are very collector appealling.

Still this a good price on that S-1.
