NBD 2011 Fender American Standard Jazz

Hi all,

Well after another cool trade I have fallen in love with the Fender Jazz again-well this one anyway.
Traded a bloke my Mesa 210,a small bit of cash and a box of beer for his sunburst/maple 2011 Am. Std. Jazz complete with case, case candy, hang tags, Lindy Fralin pups (he included the stock ones too) and a spare black pickguard!
I couldn't believe my luck. He had 11 other basses (including a mean blood-red Ricky from 84) and wanted rid of it. Never gigged and not a single mark or scratch on it. Needless to say I jumped at the chance.
It also happens to be the single nicest jazz I have ever played-it just feels so well put together!
As I've mentioned before, when I started playing I was all about the Jazz but then discovered the simple joy of the Precision- I ditched all but two of my J's (my 1st ever Fender a white mex J and my black jap Jazz) and replaced them wih lots or awesome P basses.
I honestly never thought I'd pick up another Jazz but this one has blown me away! Loving it. It sounds so bright and clear with a hint of growl. It's also nice and light. Don't think I'll be letting this one go!!!

Just thought I'd share my joy

Ah... the invisible Jazz bass.

Congrats on the new Fender Jazz. I always seem to go back to the Fender Jazz more than any other bass.
