It's a bad picture, but that's my 2012 Fender Jazz FSR on the right. May I get a number?

Count me in! Just received this 2013 FSR today. Planning a few upgrades: bridge, and pickups.

Congrats, these are great basses, especially when on sale! Sold mine some time ago due to spousal pressure and too many basses. Usual TB story. The buyer commented that he loved my medium-low setup. Never modded it, really did not need a thing. So--setup yes, mods no. JMHO!

P.S. Try GHS Pressurewound strings. They sound great on J basses and they're easy on frets and fingers.

Those are the "ground round" strings? I got a few sets of those used from somebody when I bought some other strings. HATED them! To each his own lol. Maybe I'll try em out again on a Jazz bass.

Number, if you please.
Here's my wine red American Standard FSR. Got it for $700 CAD and spent $100 on a setup because the truss rod seemed tight. The tech also did a lot of fret work on his own time so it's in perfect playing condition. I told my buddy I'd sell it on to him for his brother for what it cost me (his request). He's like "are you sure it's worth that?". even has OHSC and case candy. Fool. I should just keep it lol.

Are the MIM FSR's the same as Mexican standards (pickups, neck, hardware) except for the ash body and finish? Do you find the ash dents easily?

Actually if anybody has the American FSR P in translucent blue I'd do a straight trade.

 

[hypercarrots]

the sandblasted sapphire blue transparent p? it's not an fsr. it's a limited edition.

Fender terminology is funny. Always inventing different terms for the same thing lol. My FSR was made in a run of 150. That makes it pretty limited eh? The only difference in these is the sandblasted treatment which looks amazing. Saw one of these into the local shop and was struck by the look. The blue colour really pops too.

is there another fender p in transparent blue? a non sandblasted one perhaps? last usa non-deluxe non-active one i saw was made in late 70s/early 80s.
