After moving from precision’s to jazzes about 6 years ago, I went through many to find my ideal one that sounded and felt good, I sold a few I shouldn’t have done , but last week I bought another 2014 US one, and I would say it’s definitely well up there as my perfect jazz 🙂

Olympic white with tort guard, as it should be (or black for a more punk look). Why Fender briefly went for white/mint pickguard for the series 1 American Professional is a mystery to me.

Looks lovely, sir!

May it bring you many years of fun and fulfilment..! 

How do you find the Low Tension Flats? 

Many thanks old man riva ☝️, after my flatwound string quest, I’ve settled on the LTFs , and I’ve slowly fitted them to all my jazzes , except a few which have had labella deep talking fitted for years,  I find the tension is just right and they add a nice mid sound , and the lows are really clear🙂

In the quest to find flatwound happiness I’ve spent (wasted!) so much money over the (recent) years on strings - back when I were a lad it was Rotosound Swing Bass or nothing (well not exactly nothing, as the other alternative was their flatwounds, which I just couldn’t fathom at all)!

The La Bella Low Tension Flats are one of the few I’ve really liked - and you describe them far better than I could! 

Enjoy!
