Hey all:

Just received her today....Jazz Select in Amber Burst...Passive with custom "select" pickups...Some very smooth P Bass like tones if you want...Like I do.

Gave my custom treatments:

Chrome Thumbrest
Chrome knobs

But, I kept rounds on for now, due to the nice tone with the custom "select" pickups. I usually put Chromes on immediately.

What do you think of her...

Before And After

 

Thanks Guys...

P/U's are similar but have more bottom end than the new 2012.

So, dial in the neck and you have almost a P bass tone.

The pick ups are "hot" for a passive.

The .25 sawn neck feels very "playable" and smooth

This is what I would call Fender's "boutique" bass.

Very, very nice instrument.

 

It does INDEED...White pearloid it is

 

Yours is the white, NOT the "aged" white, correct?

Thanks

 

Thanks for the suggestion...I do believe, I am going aged white pearl vs. white pearl...

 

The aged is the one I ordered after some thoughts form the "group" and then looking at the "gold" pieces in it.

I also have a P with a white pearl and decided to go with the same as you.

Man let me tell you...Just finished rockin' with my kid, 11.5 yrs old who plays guitar lead/rhythm and I can't believe how good this Jazz sounds and I am a P guy.

I just have to say also, nothing like hearing my kid who I taught at to play guitar at 9, NAIL the lead on Smoke on the water...Literally brought a tear to my eye.

And this piece with a darkglass micro tubes pedal kept the rhythm going for him...Old school baby

This is an outrageously GREAT sounding bass.

 

Thanks for the POSITIVE thoughts

 

Thanks, guys
