    I remember wanting one of these back when they came out in 2015, but could never afford one.

    Fast forward 6 years and I walk into my local music shop and they had a brand new one on the shelf. Apparently it was 'lost' in the warehouse for years.

    I've always been a Precision guy, but I daresay I've converted now!

    looks great, and I really love satin and natural style finishes without a heavy over poly coat. It just feels really nice to hold and play and enriches the experience for me.

    Man, was hoping it was blue when I first read the title.

    Awesome bass, it has an American Special neck on it, like the bass I have. Nice and thin.

    Did you get a good deal or pay retail?

    Private message me if you want to keep it quiet.

    Gorgeous, congrats! I've been looking for a clean, unmolested J for awhile. Had a few opportunities but waited too long.
    Is it lightweight and how does it play?

    $1099, which is $100 over 2015 retail. The store knew what they had.

    I haven't weight it on a scale yet, but I'd say its well under 9 pounds. Easily the lightest bass I own too.

    And how does it play? It's fantastic! @Clark Westfield is right that these American Special necks are indeed special. I a/b'd them with the necks used on Jazz Professionals and I much prefer the feel/finish on the American Special.

    Oh man, I loved those when they came out. Truly a unique finish. I’m more of a P guy, too, but that is one gorgeous Jazz. Congrats! And so cool to find a true NOS from 2015!

    That's nice. Black pickguard and maple neck with dots and not B&B really make the body the focus of that instrument. That's really nice. I'm not very GASsy usually, but that... that's nice.

    As far as I know
    It’s Mexican parts/ pickups
    In a USA bass

    thus the American special
