The Fender Deluxe P Bass Special 4-String Bass has a Jazz neck, a P Bass body, and a P/J combination pickup array with Vintage Noiseless pickups and active electronics. The P body is a little smaller and lighter, the J neck slimmer and faster, and the combined pickups give you just that much more to play with. A gold vinyl pickguard sets the Deluxe P Bass apart visually, and its satin-finish neck feels worn in from the get-go.
I got the Blizzard Pearl (rosewood fretboard) and it's great. If you look at the pics above, you will notice the difference in the color between the Blizzard Pearl with Rosewood and Maple fretboards. This is because the Blizzard Pearl color changes with the light. Sometimes it looks silvery, sometimes creamy white and in between. But more important, this bass SOUNDS awesome. Every single musician friend who's heard it is pleasantly blown away.
Have been playing bass since 1969; Have had a lot of different basses through the years. I have been using schecter the last couple of years because I was doing a lot of road work and didnt want to wind up loosing or damaging one of my better axes. I bought this to take the place of my Schecters and I am so far really pleased with the results. The bass came in great shape. The set up was not too good on the bass, but at the store I plugged in the Bass to make sure everything worked. Excellent tone range. I took it home and with a few adjustments and a new set of strings (100s) I was able to get this thing to play like slick butter. It is now my road instrument. I got the special p bass, maple fret board, Blizzard Pearl (the color is great and the pic does not do it justice), four string. I have had it just a short time and I have put about 40 hours of rehearsal and performance time so far. I am totally happy and now Im looking to a standard Jazz in the near future. Thanks Fender. If there is one thing I can say about the price is that its not too much, however Everyone is charging the same price. Its locked in and there is no Competition for us customers.
Went to GC to get the regular P-Bass, but they were sold out. One of the guys there showed me this P-Bass special for. I'm a guitar player, not a bass player, so I just took his advise & got it. I wanted to be able to drop the E to a D too, but I was able to drop it down to a C as well. It started sounding a little loose at C though. The neck seemed a little thin @ the nut, but it it expands greatly towards the body. Anyways, love this bass. The action on mine was very high. I was able to screw down the bridge screws about 7 turns before the strings started to buzz. & the sound is just amazing with the tonal range etc. Also, the bridge pick-ups are noticeably quieter than the neck's.
