inate_hex Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 Nice! Is that a mark on the F of Fender though? Quote
tony_m Posted February 26, 2015 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... Quote
GrammeFriday Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 Top drawer. Now all you need is its fretless twin! Quote

luckman67 Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 Mind blowingly beautiful there is nothing else,that you could do to make it look any better . Quote
planer Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 I've just nipped in for another look. It's still bloody gorgeous. Quote
PauBass Posted February 27, 2015 Author 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. Quote
charic Posted February 27, 2015 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

[/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.

thebassist Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 A beautiful, beautiful Jazz Bass. Stunning combination. Congratulations. Quote

drTStingray Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Looks great - I just realised it has no ash trays also! Congratulations. Quote
mr zed Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Please do not post any more pics of this bass. It is not helping. Thank you! Quote
NJE Posted February 27, 2015 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
Funky Dunky Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 [quote name='SingleMalt' timestamp='1424960044' post='2702335'] That's honestly one of the nicest basses I've ever seen. You lucky duck. [/quote] This. I agree with this. Congratulations, that bass is simply beautiful! Quote
