NBD: Fender USA Pro Series Jazz Bass

[Old Horse Murphy]

I picked this up on Thursday and haven’t been able to put it down since (including last night’s gig).

It’s a 2018 Fender Professional Jazz Bass, now restrung with Ernie Ball Super Slinkies. The pickups sound amazing and although I’ve never been a fan of maple fingerboards on a Jazz Bass, it just works for me with the natural ash body. 

This bass belonged to the bassist from Funeral For a Friend who I bought it off (nice chap)  

Here it is alongside my trusty P Bass wearing the obligatory TI Flats.

Really really nice. Long may you enjoy it!

Thanks mate. It’s (stay with me) probably the least Jazzy Jazz I’ve played. The neck is quite deep (not particularly wide) and the pickups are definitely a bit darker and more mellow than I would have expected. To me, these are both wins, being a P Bass player predominantly. 

It it may be that the last few Jazzes I’ve played have been Geddy Lee Signature models, but this one definitely feels more substantial.

Good score and you're correct -  Rich Boucher is a lovely guy, we use to work together before he got the FFAF gig.
