This thing is super fun. Extremely easy to play, lightweight & comfortable, and aside from a small trust rod adjustment played great right out of the box. No fret buzz or sharp fret ends.
I actually like the bridge. It looks cool and I'm not overly concerned about the 2 saddles. The lip at the end of it is a comfortable spot to rest my outter palm.
The pickup isn't bad. It's a single coil so there's not hum, but it sounds a lot like a P bass.
I might throw in a cheap GFS hot rails pickup for hum cancelling. Curious what output people went with if you've tried it?
I'll also be getting a new pickguard. Undecided if I want black on black or maybe pearloid.
Overall, $200 very well spent

I tried one that had a red Lace Sensor. Not entirely noiseless, but quiet and powerful. I agree that those Broncos are cool.
Off to the lair today for tinnitus maintenance. Is it weird that I like the case almost as much as the bass?!?
Not weird at all. That’s the right case for that bass
It actually came with it. It was a run of 200 Jazzes. They did a Precision too but in a slightly larger run. I was on the fence financially at the time but the case pushed me right off. Well that and Mrs. Enabler said "ohhhh, get that."Not weird at all. That’s the right case for that bass
Nice! You'll love that Geddy.
Thanks! Had a Geddy before. Sold it last year, then realized this year that it was the sound I actually like out of a Jazz bass
Love the Geddy... but the other is a looker, too. Congrats!

The other is a 60th Anniversary Roadworn '60s Jazz Bass in Olympic White. Sounds really vintage with the Fender PV '62 pickups. Wish Fender would carry the Fender PV '64s that you see in the Flea Signature basses. Would pair nicely with that bass.
What pickups are those?Michael Dolan Violin Bass
They kinda look like Ken Smith pickups.
I love that color and I love P-basses!
Those old RocketR100 bass amps are so damn good. I always have have one on hand.
