played the MIM fender 70's jazz bass today

Saw it hanging at sam ash in sunburst and it just looked great. The back of the neck had a heavy lacquery finish to it and the inlays on the rosewood were classy as hell. Didnt fire it up through an amp because i was in a rush but just by playing it, i realized Acoustically, it had a very nice resonance to it, and it was one of the rare sam ash occasions where an instrument is even set up properly.

Gotta say it was very tempting...even though i already own an MIM fender...i would say just strictly from a playability and finish standpoint, it was a grade A instrument, i would say on par with the MIJ reissues which share common features to this fender line (like the bullet truss rod adjustment at the headstock).

Anyway, for 700 bucks, seems like a sweet deal...
