I think @JustTim had one, but it smelled of hippies so he sold it. I could be misremembering this entirely.

I have a few wants in another bass:
1)Jazz
2)I like 5 strings
3)That flat black would nicely replace the flat black of my GWB35
4)Finding the fretted version of the GWB35 is not easy
5)As much as I adore purple, I do like flat black.
6)I could just buy a gloss black and maul the gloss then spray on a matte clear…
7) …?
8)There is no profit with GAS (not immediately…)

I can recommend open pore matte black too!

That was the same time gasoline was still under $3 even in SoCal McDonald’s was selling 20 pieces nuggets for $5, now it’s double. Most things you see in grocery stores are 50-100% more.

That’s so funny to read.
The crazy part is my new Jazz had a wee bit of that same smell. I was like, “WTF, does that smell come from some Fender/Squier factory somewhere?” Turns out, the guy I traded with to get the Squier was the same guy I traded with to get the Jazz and I didn’t realize until I’d pieced it together days later.
The Jazz is fine, it only had a minor smell and I’ve gotten rid of it by spending 3 days cased with vanilla air fresheners. I could never get rid of it on the Squier. I guess dude had only had the Jazz since Christmas, but had owned the Squier for much longer.
That’s the Squier Contemporary Active Jazz HH five string, right? I had the four string model. It was definitely a good bass, and I would say it’s worth the $500 or so for it. I’d probably still have it were it not for the aforementioned hippy smell.

These are the best looking Squiers. Sweet water had them on sale during holidays.
That’s the sweet water exclusive, no? Someone here has that one.

Schecter has a gloss black jazz

Yes it is. On sale from $530 to $480 atm. So much financial-related stuff I’m (possibly) missing out on because I don’t have my gd car back from the shop, yet lol… (I am not Ubering to and from places that many times…)

Black is the least favorite color for me . . . but in this case, I think I might make an exception, @Koldunya . . . 
Very sharp-looking when paired with a black headstock, tuner keys and black blocks for the fret markers. This contrasts very nicely with a white maple neck. 
Cheers

Yeah, it struck me as very metal or rock n roll, while also being pretty classy at the same time. The contrast of the maple fretboard and block inlays really works for it.

I saw a used one in a local store and liked it up until I remembered I have enough basses. It felt good
It didn’t smell of hippies, but the owner did have a Subaru

On basses possibly but black Harleys are always the fastest @Jazzbass19

Out here hippies drive Subarus with kayak racks. Don’t know if I’ve seen a Volvo for years unless I hit the mainland

From an aesthetics standpoint, I don’t like it as much, but I do like love Schecter 5 necks and that 35" scale length is a hard thing to leave now that I’m used to it. Which now has me thinking of a Stiletto Studio 5 in black satin.
I must stahp.

As a whitewater kayaker this offends me. Kayakers aren’t hippies. We’re dirtbags. Please get the name calling right

To be fair, we have a lot of kayaks, but not whitewater. Lot of paddling around lakes and the sea.

I like the idea of kayaking. Canoeing. The water itself is… a nope. Dark. Unseen things lurking. I had no problem jumping into the water far off the coast of Hawaii; I could see clear to the bottom. I’ve been on a jet ski on a lake and fell off; terror. Not panic, though. I have also canoed and it was no problem, either. Kayaks seem… tippy
