inate_hex Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Nice! Is that a mark on the F of Fender though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony_m Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Absolutely gorgeous! Think that has to be my all-time favourite model and look for a Jazz - I'm still kicking myself for not grabbing a CIJ / MIJ lookalike that came up for sale on here about the time I joined...

PauBass Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 Thanks people! I'm very happy with the bass, the pics don't show how truly beautiful it is. This bass has everything I have ever wanted on a bass, from the colour combination and finishes to the awesome super comfortable and easy to play neck. It balances perfectly when strapped and it's not too heavy. It plays amazingly well, low action and no fretbuzz anywhere. Sounds really, really well to my ears.

charic Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Please tell me that the back of the neck is painted white too! Then it would be damn near perfection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1424985370' post='2702734'] It's merely the Fender mojo process at work. [/quote] You are both right! Tiny little mark on the F of the Fender logo...you know, the relicing process has started! Fender have offer to replace the logo any time I want, easy job as the decal sits on top if the paint... but for now, I'm not too bothered about it, I have been playing non stop...in a few weeks I might send it off to them to have it replaced.

NJE Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 That is AMAZING! I had a MIJ jazz that was exactly the same, bound no blocks and that had lollipop tuners. Its a classy look! Just curious about the spec and ordering if you don't mind? I though anything out of the ordinary (binding no blocks, matching headstock) form the 'standard' custom shop models needed to be ordered through a master builder. If you can get small changes and additions made without going master built, I think I can safely say a Fender CS is my next aim!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
