EBS_freak Posted June 27, 2016 Posted June 27, 2016 (edited) I don't really get signatures like this. As stated, the MM pickup would make more sense for a Flea signature.... but hey, what do I know? If the stacked pot thing is the selling point, surely you could just get any jazz and stick a new stacked pot loom in?

discreet Posted June 27, 2016 Posted June 27, 2016 Rubbish! Where's the brass bridge earthing strip? The headstock is too pale, too. Seriously though, if it's the Jazz equivalent of my RW P Bass then Fender are onto a winner. I think I'd rather have the fiesta red/tort/rosewood VVT version though - just to match my P. Quote

stingrayPete1977 Posted June 27, 2016 Posted June 27, 2016 Is his new one with the mm a fender or a custom build? Quote

njr911 Posted June 27, 2016 Posted June 27, 2016 I'm now being really picky and wishing it had a matching headstock (I know Flea's doesn't) that would make it a 9/10 for me instead of a lowly 8.5/10. Are these on the Fender site yet, I have money burning a hole in my pocket Quote
karlfer Posted June 27, 2016 Posted June 27, 2016 Appears they are available to pre order, estimated delivery mid/late July. Quote

karlfer Posted June 27, 2016 Posted June 27, 2016 I'm in trouble. I've downloaded a pic of the pink Jazz and it's now my wallpaper Quote

stingrayPete1977 Posted June 27, 2016 Posted June 27, 2016 Not much to it anyway is there? I like it more than the Jazz, but I would wouldn't I?! Quote

[/quote] I'm sure I've seen something very like that before - original L1000? Probably a good sight cheaper as well and with a better bridge. Musicman basses never look quite right without a piguard to me! Quote
Sammers Posted June 28, 2016 Posted June 28, 2016 [quote name='uk_lefty' timestamp='1467028618' post='3080544'] No doubt left handed not produced :'( [/quote] Feelin' your pain, does look lovely! Quote
Geek99 Posted June 28, 2016 Posted June 28, 2016 So is it nitro? It hasn't been reliced like nitro Quote

Musicman20 Posted June 28, 2016 Posted June 28, 2016 To confirm, yep, the spec referred to above does say it is nitro. I don't usually get that excited over another P or J, but the colour, fact it comes with what I'd spec (rosewood/tort), the fact it's modelled after a bass and not just dinged for the fun of it, the pickups, and those stacked knobs....all for under £900??! The normal roadworns are more expensive?! None of this makes sense. I have a feeling this will be a good seller. I also think I may break down and buy a bass after a few years off. Quote
