    @Pufton:

    Here’s one of my basses.
    I think it’s a 2004. Could be 2005.

    This is a 2004 model. Non-Custom-Shop Fenders from the 70’s onward are easy to date by serial number. S for 197X, E for 198X, N for 199X, Z for 200X, etc. The next number was the specific year in the decade. If there was an M at the beginning of the serial # it was made in the Mexican factory. So yours is a 2004 from the Mexican factory.

      Thanks.
      I did the Fender number search and it gave me the option of Ensenada 2004/2005.
      I’m happy to go with 2004.

      I’m not the original owner of this one.

      I have another MIM Jazz with a 2004 serial number.
      It suffers from varnish flaking on the headstock - which I have read is a common problem of that year.
      This being the case it gets slightly mistreated.
      I have replaced the bridge with a more solid Gotoh.

        @LewisStonehouse  I’ve never owned a Mesa Boogie but I know they’re awesome amps. I’ve kept kind of going down into smaller amps for a while (read…since having kids) and currently only have a Carr Skylark. It’s a 12 watt amp with a built in attenuator which can bring the volume down to bearable levels and still give you a lot of gain.  Admittedly my pedals could use an amp with more headroom but they still sound pretty good. I absolutely love this Skylark. I can’t imagine getting rid of it.

          Here’s a Collings I-35LC from 2011. Bought it just before having kids and haven’t bought another electric since. Kids man…what with their needing to be clothed and fed…it really eats into a guitar budget.

                Speaking of kids…I bought guitars to commemorate the birth of both my kids with the hope they would like to play someday and I could gift them a birth-year guitar down the road. But both kids, being inclined to horrific levels of obstinance, decided to be left handed piano players. Joke’s on them because now I’ll probably sell the guitars to buy more IH gear. Here is my 2011 Collings CJ35 prototype. It’s my most played and most loved guitar.

                        @LewisStonehouse  Damn, that looks really nice!  I’ve never played through a PRS amp and I’ll bet it sounds amazing.  (As an aside, I have that exact Hercules guitar stand in the background…love it)  Nice pick up!

                            Question for you guitar players… Where are you guys at on Eddie Van Halen? Top 5? Top 10? He’d be in my top 5.

                              You really got me thinking about guitarists with your last post. I love EVH and think he’s one of the greatest guitar players of all time. But my list of favorites is more a stylistic thing and not necessarily a technical proficiency thing. Here are my top ten (no order):

                              SRV
                              Tommy Emmanuel
                              Tony Rice
                              Keith Richards
                              Jimmy Page
                              Julien Lage
                              George Harrison
                              Blake Mills
                              Ry Cooder
                              Mark Knophler

                              Honorable Mention
                              Hendrix
                              Clapton
                              EVH
                              Billy Strings

                                For sure he’s in the top five. Gotta be IMHO just because of his impact on how the guitar is played. Hugely innovative and influential so that’s gotta qualify him for a pretty high spot on the list. I personally think his rhythm playing is seriously underrated.

                                  I'm not a big Van Halen guy, but I do of course think he was a hugely important guitarist.

                                  SKT and I def have some crossover — I'm a huge fan of Ry Cooder, and love Blake Mills and Mark Knopfler.

                                  Some other faves that come immediately to mind (I'm sure there are countless others I'll wanna add):

                                  Neil Young
                                  Mike Campbell
                                  Bill Frisell
                                  Aarto Lindsay
                                  Marc Ribot
                                  Jonny Greenwood
                                  Hubert Sumlin
                                  Prince
                                  Grant Green
                                  Andy Gill
                                  Graham Coxon
                                  Jason Isbell

                                  I could talk about guitars and guitarists forever haha… careful getting me started

                                    Some Hubert Sumlin for you.

                                      @Jett129 yes SIR! His playing sounds so springy and electric to me, really cuts.

                                        Saw Hubert Sumlin a couple of times with the Allman Bros,and they would usually do 44 Blues,but by that time he could barely play. There was a great tribute concert called Howlin for Hubert,a lot which can be found on YouTube. Speaking of the Allman Bros, Duane Allman would be in my top 5 or 10. Feel like he’s been forgotten.
