I saw it hanging in the store when it was closed. I came back the next day and camp for an hour at the door because a line forms, of which I was second. I tried not to look at the bass in case the person in front of me realizes what's on the wall and wants it because I'm licking the window. The door opens and the person in front goes to cash a check. After checking the neck for warping, the intonation, and the controls, I was sold. It was even pretty close to in tune. It got pretty good use from me but I had to pass it on to a grateful owner when I had to thin the heard. Even though it was a fun bass and it is the reason the new neck for my Precision will have a Jazz profile among other things, Jazz basses feel like a football mouthpiece off the shelf rather than a molded one. I like Jazz basses, but having owned a Fender and a Squier, I realize that don't care for the body shape. I can't find a comfortable height for the body to play standing and I'm adjusting the whole time. The controls feel far away and I need to do a lot of quick tonal changes. My P has more than one pickup, but it has a blend. I know a J could just as easily have the same layout but since the body never worked for me, I don't GAS too hard for Jazz basses.
