Fender Active Jazz 24

thing sounds wicked. plays nice. even came with the nice tweed case. fender goodness at squire prices. shop local right hahahaha
 
whoa! :drool: sounds like you hit the jackpot!? that's a dandy for sure --- love the two-octave neck, too. congratulations on your new instrument! :thumbsup:


i couldn’t say no. i had one a few years ago and needed the $ so i sold it. this one popped up locally for less than a used CV squire and it came with a nice tweed case. how could i say no!??

might find a seafoam green pbass body and slap the neck on it though.

Nice! I had two of these years ago...sunburst and cherryburst. They're true sleepers, and I actually liked the preamp (most didn't...lame). It had a nice, aggressive, and modern sound, which is what I like, along with a wicked slap tone. Guess these basses were too modern and focused for most Fender lovers...their loss is our gain.

A 24 fret neck won't work on a 20 fret body.
