I got a 20% coupon from Musicians Friend last week and was surprised to see that it applied to Fender. Usually their "percent off" specials don't. So I bought a brand new wine red American Jazz V Deluxe for $1439. It is everything they say it is. Completely blows my MIM 60th Anniversary Jazz V out of the water.
That it was perfectly set up out of the box was an amazing thing. It plays like a dream. The versatility of tone is awesome. The ability to go passive or active is a really nice feature that I've already found several uses for during the three hours I played it last night.
I finally found a 5-string that I can go full-time with. I may doing a sell-off of some of my four-strings! https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...71863545_n.jpg

It was great; except it weighed 12lbs!!!

| | | Congrats! 
I've got the 4 string version in Black with Maple neck and fingerboard.
I love mine too!  |

| | | I basically bought all my recently purchased new recording gear and bass stuff from MF. They have done great at getting me some really impressive low prices!
I had a few problems with a couple of items and they took them back no questions asked! Even paid for the return shipping! 
The key is CALLING them rather than using the web site unassisted. |

| | | | Your thoughts mirror my own on my ADJ 4 stringer. The out of the box setup was beyond anything I ever expected from Fender. It's dead silent, versatile and plays like melted butter. I like Fender basses (obviously) but this has the remarkably soft and easy action that you might expect from a boutique bass. |

| | | Awesome!
I am waiting on a 4 string Deluxe Jazz in the same Trans red , I ordered it over two weeks ago but will have to wait another month or more before I have it in my hands (new stock in the UK is a month away)
I too am a little concerned about the buzzing in active mode (read that a few people have had problems) so it's great to hear your happy and there's not too much humming buzz .
I can't wait to receive mine 
Congrats on a lovely Bass. |

I never thought that I would give my Smith's a rest. I hope that you enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
