My Main bass, 2012 Fender American standard Jazz, looks sexy and plays like butter.

It's a heavily chambered alder (1-1/4" back) /maple (1/4" top) body with an imbedded brass bridge anchor. It's sonic character leans toward it being a lead bass, but it also holds down the bottom.
Well those certainly aren’t Peaveys.
That sonic blue / pearl/ maple is beautiful !
What is it?
And the signature ?

Wait, how does this song start again??
I don't own a bass with a Maple fretboard, all of mine are Rosewood or Ebony. I've owned many in the past and always found they were a bit brighter sounding than my Rosewood basses. I bought a Precision 5 about 6 years ago with a Maple fretboard and quickly returned it for a Rosewood version.
If I'm going to own a bass with a Maple fretboard, it has to have either a gloss or satin finish on it, I just don't like tongue oil Maple fretboards. They get dirty fast and look like crap to me when they do.
