Well, I'm two gigs into a three-one-the-trot run, and I LOVE THIS THING.

Lots of comments from band-mates and punters about its tone and looks. And the best bit is: the world hasn't ended because it has a Fender logo on it.

Happy days, man...

Fabulous set up Michael.

I don't like playing jazz basses but periodically have to buy one cos I just love the look of them and also the thought of all the amazing songs played on them...

your bass sir is giving me gas again darn you to heck

The 40mm neck on this one helps a lot - it feels just like my P, if only a little bit shallower.

The neck pup has an amazing boom and growl to it, too

I`m the same as Andy, the regular Jazz neck is too thin for me but for some reason I just love the look of them - sunburst/tort/rosewood usually gets my vote. Now this 40mm neck is [u]very[/u] interesting.....

I would never have believed that my #1 would ever again be a Jazz... but there you have it. It is.

I used it at the Summertyne festival in Gateshead over the weekend. The video is fuzzy, but here's a clip.

Nice! I was an out and out jazz bass player until January. Got my Nate Mendel and the jazz width nut on a precision was a revelation. Now my Limelight precision is my #1. It would appear Limelight basses have the quality to sway anyone!!

I am weakening!

trying Mart's limelight J has just about torn it for me if it had been a stack knob '60 remake in oly white I'd probably have torn it from his hands and legged it, so resonant and sweet to play, sounded way fatter than any j i've ever tried before!

Mine has turned me into a Jazz Bass man after decades of being a P Bass man. If that helps your GAS any..?

Yes I am. I think you should join the Bounder's Club.
