Probably a long shot, but I'll try anyway...

Anyone maybe ever tried both these JM versions?

Aside from the obvious differences, I was wondering how they felt, regardless of the specs or price difference.

Higher end electronics and different pickups on the APC, but the Player II costs half as much and the neck has rolled edges. The APC doens't come with a hardcase, I was kinda shocked by that tbh. Guess I've been out of the loop for a while, since when do the pricey high end american Fenders come with gigbags?? The "true" premium Fenders that come with a hardcase start at $2K now??

Even with a couple mods and upgrades and full setup, it looks like the Player II might be the better deal here...right?

Preferably in the EU? Looking for something that'll fit a Player II, with a tone control. If at all possible in gold anodized, or 3 ply blck or mint green (vintag white) or dark tortoise shell.

It basically comes down to function over form. My gut says "keep the JM66B, it oozes with mojo". My brain says "The Player II will fit you better and get more use".

Don't ever use the trem system or rythm circuit, so the hotter pickups, flatter fretboard radius and smoother neck, seem very appealing right now.

So aside from that, I'm wondering if I'd feel any difference in overall quality. Unfortunately, I'll have to order the new one sight unseen. With a good return policy though, but I'd still like to be a little prepared.

I'm also kinda second guessing the value ratio here. Even in today's economy, €820ish (€960 for the FSR one in green), seems a bit much for a MIM Fender that doesn't come with a case. And I'm not even sure what I could get for my Japanese Jazzmaster, but assuming it won't be much more then €90....I'm seriously doubting if this'd be a smart move.

TLDR: anyone maybe have first hand experieces with both a MIJ Jazzmaster of that era as well as one of the new Player II Jazzmasters? The latter would make most sense for someone who craves a fast neck and plays with lotsa gain most of the time? Any other suggestions?

I’m looking for bands similar to Soundgarden and Melvins I really love these two bands so if anyone could please recommend some bands with a similar sound it would be greatly appreciated.

Can't choose two flaires, but i essentially have two questions.

So to get to it, i've been using VIbram five finger shoes for the last 10 years or so. I love everything about them, but ppl has been telling me not to use them in the marathon that i'm gonna participate in aproximately 1 year. The entire stretch is only paved road & ppl are worried the surface will be too hard for my shoes.

So does anyone have any experience running marathons on hard surface with barefoot shoes?

follow up question, does anyone have any tips or reccomendations for how to train for the upcoming marathon?:)

Going from 0 to 22km with 1 year to train basically....
