Fender Player Jazz Bass Plus Top Limited-Edition Bass Guitar Blue Burst

I'm a new bass player. I have a Squier P bass, but really wanted a Fender Jazz Bass. This was on sale AND I got an additioinal discount because it was a demo model with a small (almost unnoticeable) ding on the back of the headstock. To be honest, I never would have noticed if the GC manager hadn't told me specifically about it before they shipped it to me. I love the color and feel of this instrument. I really couldn't be happier.

Got this bass for Christmas and I gotta say, I'm beyond happy with it. The color shown in the description above doesn't quite match what it looks like, but personally, I think mine looks way better. Very pleased with it.

I played a dozen instruments of different brands in the store before choosing this edition of a Fender classic. The fretboard has a good feel, it tunes well and stays tuned. Frets are accurately placed for good intonation. One knob controls the volume from each of the two pickups and the third adjusts the tone. This gives flexibility for different situations - for example with the bridge pickup and high tone you can get a more harmonic-rich jazzy sound, or with the neck pickup and less tone you get a more low-end booming tone classic sound. It ships with medium weight strings and the fretboard action adjusted a little high; I ended up reducing the action a bit to more easily hit fast fretting grooves. And it's a beautiful instrument - I'm happy with the purchase.

I play this as a hobby, sounds great, and plays great.

I dig it! It's beautiful. It's perfectly playable out of the box. I have been thoroughly enjoying playing it for 2 weeks now. As with any instrument in this price range...you may need to get it professionally set up for shows and touring. All that being said, I love it!

I really enjoy playing this bass. I have to say that the flame top is killer, pictures don't do it justice. There were a few things, like the pick guard didn't fit just right, but I fixed that myself because this particular bass has a feel and sound that I don't want to change. Fender seems to be an industry standard for a reason! Actually I just went to the store to check out some amps, but immediately fell in love with this one. I told my wife "I better put this down before I fall in love with it." She replied "It's too late for that!"
