NBD Jazz

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.

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🙂

US Standard, white, tort and rosewood. Perfect.

Great looking jazz there @Reggaebass, love the white tort combo. Didn't the after 2012 have the 60's pick ups, or some special ones at least?

Thanks Raslee 👍, yeah you’re right, they had the custom shop 60s Pickups after 2012 and the graphite Neck rods

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!
