It's very "playable", love the feel of the roasted maple. Initially the sound didn't seem deep enough so following some tips here I got a pair of dimarzio ultra jazz, now it really sounds like the jazz bass I'd hoped for. Very versatile, works with a pick or bare fingers.
It's my first J. I was expecting a big difference in the neck but actually the CIJ precision feels skinnier at the nut. I think it's unusually shallow for a P. I haven't measured them. I should, in the interests of journalism.
