American or Mexican made new model Fender Jazz?

Lol, she noticed the almost same colour Cabronita after a few days but hasn't noticed the OW Jazz yet..go figure :-)

Not sure I've come across the Cabronita anywhere yet. What's it like tonally? one trick pony or room for a bit of variety?

[Mr Fretbuzz]

Dunno what Flex thought of it but I really like it, it's sort of growly but sort of double bass sound if you play over the neck. I've rolled off the trebble so it's about half way. I like blues and country so I really like it. I've been playing a Caro Emerald song with it and it sounds good to me. It's got factory rounds on it which I'll probably change to flats and I'm hoping to get a vintage sound out of it. Sounds very different to my AM P :-)

Interesting. If it came in butterscotch blonde with thru-body stringing I'd be quite tempted for some low end thumpiness which I'll admit I tend to avoid usually. I think I'd have to move on my US P special deluxe whatever its called first though.

Got my 60s Jazz back today with its covers and tug bar. The Tech cut the nut, shaved and polished the frets, oiled the fretboard, replaced the strings, lowered the action, reset the intonation and reset it ... £50
