GAS for the Flea Jazz!

The force is strong! These seemed to be a favourite on here a few years back.

The upcoming release of a new roadworn line is interesting but think I prefer the feel of a U shape and 7.25 fingerboard and the colour is to die for :)

Still using/ enjoying yours?

Oh yes. I've sort of got two. The neck went wibble on the one I bought and I replaced it with a graphite neck from Status.

I'm currently building an early 60's jazz bass around the replacement Flea neck that Fender sent me.

The original sounds great and the build version is shaping up very nicely too.

They come up for sale reasonably often if you don't want to buy new.

Well it gets played more than any of my other basses.

It isn't very loud, but other than that...

Been toying with getting Jon Shuker to make me a 5 string fanned fret version of this beauty. Would be delicious! Would have to wait til next year at least though...

You wouldn’t be disappointed mate. Mine is a Shuker. 👍🏻

I really fancy one of the active almost stingray ones.

I'll never find one under 8lb though :( 

Yeah, I think you might struggle with that. To be fair, the majority of basses are 8lbs plus.

I think I only have one that is a smidge under 8 and that's a Custom Shop.

My Flea (active) is only 9.3lbs, so not far off.

I have one of the original, Fiesta Red, Road Worn Jazzes. 

I tried the Flea Jazz and actually preferred the feel and sound of it, to my Road Worn.

I wasn't too keen on the relic job on the body though, it seemed a bit fake.

I did like the wear on the neck though. My Road Worn doesn't have any wear on the neck.
