Fender 50th Anniversary Jazz Bass

Does anyone here own of the Fender 50th Anniversary Jazz Basses (2010) ? I really dig the looks of them although i wish they had bound the fingerboard. How do they compare to an American Standard Jazz bass ? Anyone know how many of them they made and were they all red? Thanks

I don't have one, but I've seen several guys post pics of theirs on here. So I'm sure you'll get some knowledgeable replies soon...

They were featured in an issue of Bass Player right after they first came out. They were not supposed to be a re-issue of any particular bass, but a kinda "best of" the Fender Jazz Bass. I'm pretty sure there's a club for it. Try searching "anniversary"...

EDIT: Found it... 2010 50th Anniversary Fender Jazz Club

Ya know...the more I look at these, the more that thumbrest bothers me. Its more functional, I get it, but seeing so many Jazz Basses with tugbars, it just looks out of place. Maybe it just because I float my thumb, and never use them either way. Other than that, I love their looks.
