Just brought home this 2007 MIM Deluxe Series J-Bass that I picked up in a small, local shop for $345. It's in mint condition - not a mark anywhere - and it plays perfectly! This guitar is waaaay better than the MIM P-Bass I had a while back (a 1998 model). Came with a Fender custom molded hardshell case. The pickups are Fender Vintage Noiseless units and...no hum! I put the ghs nylon covered strings on it tonight. Fred Shuman (who own's Durdel's Music in Toledo) set the intonation. I never had a guitar that was so much fun to play! I love this thing!
