This ad caused me to get my Leftie JO out and compare with my Fender CS Jazzes. I think the J/O is a real workhorse compared with the Fenders. It has what I think is a slab fret board, The neck is slimmer, but at the same time more stable. It sounds less vintage, but clear and full. Altogether these are brilliant basses and (if I were right handed) I would be all over this!
