Actually NBD was last week but I've been away for the weekend, so it's a bit late. I wasn't planning to post this up but have been encouraged to do so by Discreet. So for the Fender fans, check out the pics down below.
Although P basses are really my thing, I periodically find myself hankering after a Jazz bass. Every couple of years or so I've tended to cave in, buy one, play it for a few months and then move it on and return to my P basses.
My past J bass purchases have mostly been Squiers, so I thought it was time to try a Fender. My preference is for old Fenders, so I started looking out for a 60's one. Anyway I spotted this one from 1973 and decided to go for it.
It's all original (other than the pup cover) including the case.
So far I'm very happy with it. I've set it up to my liking and it plays very well. The neck is lovely, with the added bonus of being block and bound, which I've always liked the look of. Fret work is great and no dead spots.
I've only played it amplified at lounge volume, so I'm really looking forward to trying it through my rig in the not too distant.
Right enough waffle, here are the pics:
