Sound
I really enjoy the tone of Fender's Jazz Basses and this doesn't dissapoint. Huge amount of control over the instrument's sound.
Features
Drop D lever - beautiful. Active/passive modes also great.
The Wow Factor
I really wanted a bass in that lovely Fender ice white/baby blue color, but this is a beautiful instrument in the sunburst/tortoise shell.
