"Fender Flea Jazz Bass"

[TheGreek]

I don't claim to know too much about these so, going along with the theme of " I don't believe this Fender"...

Seller claims it's an active Fender Jazz - with Humbucker pup. He doesn't sound very convincing though. Is this for real?

Yeah. Haven’t played one yet...probably won’t. Bit of a funny looking thing.

I have the Inca Silver version and it's ace! You should give one a go Andy.

That's a decent price. If I didn't already have one etc and so forth....

I know. I’d probably buy it...thing is, sound wise...this probably does a better job...

That's quite a good price for a USA Flea jazz (I'd call it a jazzish myself)

Just browsing through the basses for sale thread and there have been at least 3 sold here in the past 2 months.

I really need to pay more attention.

Yeah but you'll never see any famous players using one. 

Oh, hang on a minute..

Probably on account of the fact that it has far better quality tonewood 😜.

Thing is, I kinda bought it out of curiosity really. I love a Jazz bass and I love a Stingray, so it made sense in my head at the time. Turns out, it’s neither, but I really like it anyway. It has the most ridiculously low action and the neck profile is very me.

The shuker version is better 😉@hiram.k.hackenbacker welcome to try mine next time you are passing

Looks more in proportion

At least the Fender isn't the fake roadworn one.

What they all say 😂

@hiram.k.hackenbacker I’m genuinely interested in comparing the fender pickup to the lane poor if you are passing at some point. 👍🏻
