artisan Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 (edited) Just got back home from P.M.T. Leeds with my new US Elite Jazz & I am so pleased with it,I can't stop grinning. It was a tough call between the black & the natural Ash bass,took me over an hour to make my mind up,but I made the right choice - I think. It's my 50th birthday bass but just over a year late 😁 Edited September 15, 2018 by artisan 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cLepto-bass Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 I went to my local GuitarGuitar store a few months ago to pick up a few little pieces and had a bit of time to kill so tried one of these out. I wasn't expecting to fall in love with it as much as I did. They are seriously good basses. Personally I would have gone for the natural version but only just. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twincam Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Very nice! Think you made the right decision on colour. Dare I say natural looking ash finishes to me can look a little dated. Classic black looks alot fresher and has a certain classy look. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the black pickguard looks great on it too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artisan Posted September 16, 2018 Author Share Posted September 16, 2018 (edited) I'll weight it when I get chance guys 👍 I'd guess about 9lbs,it's about the same as my MIM jazz. The ash bodied one I tried was a lot heavier though,at least 11lbs I would think. Edited September 16, 2018 by artisan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
