Can anyone comment on the quality/tonal differences? Is the Modern Player Jag worth the extra hundred bucks? |

Its koto body
(a Centrafrican Tek kinda wood) coupled by satisfyin' pickups, tend to allow a combination of P and J sounds, always on the fly, whenever favorin' one pickup or another, all with a look in between a Geddy Lee Jazz and somethin' even more Vintagey
Cheers,
Wallace

I'm very happy with mine. Mine is my favorite 4-string bass.
All the best with the decision.

Bob | Thanks. I'll check out those posts. One thing I noticed is that the neck tint on the Fender website seems fairly light whereas other pics of the bass (owner photos) show a much darker vintage tint (which I like) |
