The pickup controls are really cool. Why it has taken so long for Fender to go back to that design is beyond me.

A cool Fender is a cool Fender. I hope this pickup design does well and at some point makes its way to non-custom shop models.

I will not even ask about the price!

I'd say that's a decent enough price seeing as they were around £2200 about 5 years ago. Custom shop prices don't seem as hiked as normal production prices?!.

I have to say, when I've had a stacked knob Jazz. I found that I barely used the tone on the neck pickup, so for me vol/vol/tone is a more economical approach....but stacks do look cool :)

What are the differences between this and a £600 Fender?

You can't get stack knobs on a MIM Fender, nitro finish, (hopefully!) superior QC etc

I want it, would love a custom shop Jazz in the near future.

The only problem with expensive basses is playing the thing at you average gig. You'd never be able to take your eyes off it for fear of thiefs and lowlifes running off with it to sell it for £30 at crack converters.

Eh, and of course the fact that they're expensive in the first place.

Well I have a MIJ 62 Jazz and it's pretty damn good. I don't expect the custom shop version to be that much better........but it sure is purty.

Total beauty! I love the stack knob configuration - I've had it on my own workhorse Jazz since I bought it and wouldn't change it for the world! Honestly not as expensive as I thought it would be from the Fender Custom Shop? I was looking at some custom Warwicks the other day, in comparison, and they were more than double the cost of this Jazz.

That P/J just looks IMMENSE too! :)
