Fender American Original Jazz

Recently acquired this guy. I am really impressed. Very light, and the neck is easy and comfortable. Very pleased, I’d recommend!

Oh, what a lovely bass.

Still digging it? I’m currently looking for a maple fretboard Jazz. Is your bass a thicker profile like most 70’s? Have you had a chance to play it in a band situation? It’s a real looker.

Love mine! One of the very best basses I've ever owned, and I've owned a few!

Still loving this baby! I get excited every time I crack open that case. I was a little reluctant to buy new, but wanted a bass that I would keep forever. After having it for a couple months now, I have no regrets

My last bass was a 90’s G&L ASAT with active pickups. This things blows that bass far far away!

Definitely a thicker profile (see pic). And I have smaller hands, but it doesn’t seem to matter. That fretboard / neck is so easy imo!

I am not in a regular band at the moment but have lots of musician friends who I get together with and play in a band setting. In a band situation I can get a wide range of tones. I tend to go either muffly dub sounding, or growly mid range depending on the tune. I record a ton and this thing just shines!

This is one gnarly bass! My forever bass for sure

So cool! You know, initially, I read a lot of less than stellar opinions about these instruments. But at the end of the day, it played and sounded superb!

I have a American original 60's and very happy with it.
