My Jazz quest continues ! Right out of the case this bass feels better to me than the American standard. Love the neck, quite different than the AS, seems slimmer. Also I don't think this neck has the stiffing rods of the new basses, the '62 seems to just have more resonance, it just seems more alive. I gave the bass a quick set up and am very happy with how low I can get things. No complaints on QC Fender seems to be miles a head of Gibson it that respect. The three tone sunburst is quite subduded, almost like they forgot the yellow, I'll have to see it in day light. I don't mind a plain Jane really because it plays fantastic! Pics to come !
