NBD: 08 Fender USA jazz STD

[Jack_Stroud_Bass]

NYE - NBD! 
 

It’s an 08 USA Fender Jazz standard bought privately from a lovely chap in Cheltenham today, following all the normal social distancing guidelines of course. 
 

I’ve had it a few hours, made some adjustments to the neck and saddles to lower the action, but it’s a lovely piece and a great first jazz bass. 
 

Holy trinity now competed! J-bass, P-bass and Stingray, so chuffed! I’m a very lucky bloke indeed.

That’s a great one jack, congrats ☝️, does it have the S-1 switch 

[Jack_Stroud_Bass]

Hey Reggaebass thanks! It does not have it no. The bass is completely passive.

Great colour scheme, looks so right on a Jazz

[Jack_Stroud_Bass]

Thanks @Lozz196. Yes I agree. Some colour combos just work on Fenders I think, this being one of them. Sunburst / Tort, Black / Black / Maple another... oh and one of my faves is a natural finish with maple fretboard and block inlays... one day!  

Interestingly the original pick guard (which I have with it) was white, but I think it looks much better as it is.

Looks fabulous Jack.

Not sure if you got the comment on the video link but the Stingray sounded awesome on the Sub rooms gig!

Cheers @Raymondo

I didn’t see that no- thank you though! It was nice to use it again. It’s got flats on it at the moment so lent itself well to the style I think!

lovely bass!....this is when fender started using thinner poly finish which resulted in a more resonant tone....enjoy
