Fender Jazz 24....none more BLACK....

Our sound eng. is trying to talk me into a Fender, and suggested this one. I occasionally use the last frets, but it's the price and the blackness (it comes in a nice flame top, too) that got me to try one.

Great bass, just maybe not my thing. Fenders are definately growing on me though.

I've never understood someone making a blanket statement like that - it's like insisting someone buy a Chev - well, ok, the entry level car, the big SUV, the little SUV, the midrange sedan, which Chev do you want?

A Fender is not just a Fender - do you want a passive P, passive Jazz, active, PJ, 5-string? What do you want??? I don't mean you Scionreality, that's just what my reaction would be to someone suggesting I buy a "Fender."

Having said that - this black bass would rock, for me, if it was glossy black. Not too much into the "Stealth Bomber" look.
 
I'm definitely picking one of these up, can't decide if I'm gonna go 4 or 5, anyway interestingly enough I saw this on the fender site a while back, checked the MF site, say that they were closing out the Jazz 24, called them to see what was up with the flat black, and was told that according to their computeres they weren't going to stock it! Well to my great surprise, and joy, guess whats on their site now! :hyper:
