So I noticed one of these at a local guitar center and I really noticed the color. Fast forward a few months I saw one of these at another guitar center, but played it and was blown away at how comfortable this bass was. I have many different kinds of basses but this one just spoke to me. However I couldn’t justify $900 for ANOTHER bass so I passed. Well I waltzed into the same guitar center yesterday and found this baby in the used section in perfect condition with no wear or damage whatsoever! Traded in a few impulse buy guitars I had and walked out with it. I have a p bass and a jazz bass already but I love the neck binding and block inlays. It has a vintage 70’s style jazz bass neck and is the most comfortable 4 string I’ve ever played hands down!

it's the only thing that counts! the bass looks great! congratulations on your new instrument!
There have been a number of great P/J basses Made by Fender over the years, at least since the mid eighties. Though IMHO, that one might be the nicest looking, I love the color of those. I own two 80's P/Js that are both great basses in their own right, The Cowpoke and a Precision Lyte.
I have a 2000 hot rodded American standard o bass which is pretty much just a p bass with a j bass bridge pickup. Still has a p bass neck and my jazz bass has a modified c neck which is...ok. But this vintage jazz neck is awesome!
