I`d love to hear one of the Jazzes. I'm looking for P sound with a J neck. Very intrested in these 
How much does it sound like a P, that's the question.

New Fender "Black Top" basses

Well, gave it a try and it just wasn't for me. I guess I'm just a voyeur when it comes to Fender basses. I love how they look and sound, but they just don't feel right in my hands.

Same here buddy. I would like to see a few more reviews and maybe a couple youtube videos. Before I go see if GC or Bass Emporium doesn't have one haha.
Double P Jazz, just may be what I'm craving... I've been really wanting a better jazz lately, maybe this would be more fun.
I wouldn't mind hearing that P either.
How do you feel about it's build?
Dull spots?
Thanks,
Bob.
For the price, very impressive build. I didn't find any dull spots at all. I think I am mostly impressed with the neck and fingerboard. Really fine work. Slim Jazz neck that felt good and solid.
You asked how does it compare to a Jazz sound: Doesn't sound like a Jazz bass at all to me. I only have Maple board Jazz basses though. It sounds like a P bass with a rosewood Jazz neck on it to me. I cannot make a fair P bass comparison because I don't have one, and only had a Steve Harris P bass briefly many years ago (that I forgot about), but it sounds like a P bass to me when the neck pickup is solo'd.
Many questions about it so far. Perhaps just buy it from a place that has a return policy? Most you can lose is about $30 return shipping. In most cases, I would bet it wouldn't be returned. Where else can you get a P bass with the bridge P pickup option, and a slim Jazz neck for less than $500? As long as you prefer rosewood boards, of course.
Holy moly! Just stumbled upon this thread and the double P Jazz looks amazing!

Put a Geddy neck and black hardware on that silver jazz and it would be one be one of the coolest looking basses around IMO.
I've seen a few nice text reviews on the Jazz blacktops but none on the P's. Someone post a youtube video or any kind of soundclip on here as soon as they could. I wish fender would demo there stuff on youtube in the same way that Boss pedals displays there gear...:scowl:
great looks yes but why am i bothered by this
anyone try a double p on this or any other bass? i've seen vantage basses mij that have this double p; never played/heard one. anyone? byooolurrrr?
these aren't terribly expensive.
im daydreaming: jazz with double bucks instead of double peepee

You know, if these had been out when I was on the market, I might have opted for this rather than my Jaguar. These are pretty badass looking.
I wish there was more color options and the choice of a maple neck, but I am definetley considering this as my next bass. I'd love the white J with a maple neck and a brown tort p gaurd
