Feature-Packed, But.....
At first glance this bass is packed with features that would make it appear to make it a bargain. Here's the pros and cons of this bass.
The Pros:
The Seymour-Duncan active electronics allow you to dial in just about any tone you want. In fact, this axe makes my old Crate practice amp gain a whole new personality. The slap switch allows you to play what I like to call "funk-a-licious grooves." The finish on this bass looks good, and from what I can tell, it would hold up very well especially for gigs.
The Cons:
Although this bass looks good, and has great electronics, I was very disappointed with the acoustics. First off, the factory does not set these basses up at all, no matter what they tell you. Second, no matter how you set this bass up, you will always get fret-buzz. Finally, I've already taken two Fender 24 Jazz basses back to the store and had them sent back to Fender. I'm waiting on delivery of my 3rd as I write this review.
Overall:
If I had it to do over, I would not purchase this bass. For an instrument in this price range the quality is just unacceptable in my opinion. I've had basses that cost far less that had far fewer problems. This bass does have some nice features, but when its playability is so adversely affected by the way it handles, it's just not worth the hassle.

Great Sounding Bass, But....
Just a quick warning...make sure you have a warranty. The active pickup/preamp thing is prone to breaking. DO NOT put the battery in the wrong way like I did (not even for a second) because it will fry the preamp, a costly and long repair. Seymour Duncan failed to include a part that would prevent the reverse flow of electricity from frying the preamp, so be REAL CAREFUL! Besides that its a great sounding bass with a lot of tones, plenty of frets,and is great for slap and other styles. I recommend it, just be real careful with the preamp battery placement

ausome
This is by far the best Fender bass I have ever played. It has an ausome bottom end sound to it. Also has a tone and volume knob for the top and bottome pick up. As a plus when you play off the bottom pick up it sounds like a p bass.

This bass is amazing!
I don't know what it is about this bass, but it makes me want to just congratulate the guys at Fender and anyone who was involved with the design or making of this bass. Maybe it's the great Fender tone, the excellent playability, the sweet looking quilt top, or maybe even the price, but whatever it is it's great. This bass sounds great, plays great, looks great, and is affordable. You'll have a lot of trouble looking for a bass this nice at this price. Buy this bass please if not for you then for the people that love you!

The Do-It-All Bass
I picked this up to get a lightweight 4-string as a back-up for my 5-string Warwick. For the last 6 months, I've played only this Jazz Bass. The bass needed a good set-up, but after I finished some adjustments and beat on this bass through a few shows a week, I love it. Put flatwounds on this baby and you're good to go. All styles, rock, funk, blues, r&b, all with just adjusting the knobs. I start the show and never need to touch my amp for new tones. I never have to tune this bass. I play it out, put it away, take it out and the tuning is locked. I've had numerous fellow bassists offer me more than I paid for this instrument. The price, the versatility, the looks and playability all make this the best Fender I have played. I wouldn't trade it for any other bass.
