That’s a beautiful bass right there. What is the finish called? I love that pick-guard over top the burst.
Have fun with that!

that's a classy looking J, and i'd bet that it plays great for you! congratulations on your new instrument! 
Very cool looking bass. I just missed out on one of those. Congratulations on the new bass.
And what fourth dimensional portal did you go through to be able to return with this bass? It is far from the norm for Fender. Light? And what a finish! Love it.

The best part (after the weight) is that I got if for just over $1000.
Oh man, congrats! I had looked at these a lot, and they're hard to find now. So sweet.
Would be my #1 choice for a fretted Fender Jazz if I were to ever buy one.

Rad looking Jazz, and that is light for ash! My FSR 70's one is right about 9 lbs which is the lightest I've ever encountered for ash. Love the creme pickup covers and the whole vibe on that--very cool.
That bass, a P-bass, Tele & Strat all done up the same way, same colors, Oh my. Or perhaps this line up with the pearloid PG:
Probably through the wardrobe to Narnia, second star to the right of Neverland, through the looking glass to Wonderland, beyond the caves of ice of Xanadu, a short stroll down Diagon Alley, ‘round Perdition’s flame and squarely in the Twilight Zone.
