Fender Player Jazz Bass - AWESOME BASS GREAT VALUE
I have owned a pretty full run of different Jazz Basses... Squiers, Fender MIM Standards, Geddy Lee Bass, etc. This new Fender Player Jazz is a huge upgrade (second to the Geddy Lee I had). I wondered how this would compare to the MIM Standards and the Player Series is closer to the American stuff from 10 years ago.
It looks and feels deluxe. The pickups sound premium. In the past, with the Standard Series, I would be modding it out. The MIM Standards never felt finished to me, but this Player Series is a different animal. Like I graduated to something professional. The only mods are a new tortoiseshell pickguard, flatwound strings and chrome ashtray covers. And I feel guilty about THOSE mods!
The action is where is should be, nice and low. Fret edges are SLIGHTLY rough, but no biggie. Tuners are super smooth.
The only two things I find real fault with is under the pickguard, the wiring route is exposed. Even my Squiers are solid under the guard and have discreet holes drilled for wiring. Not here. AND I would have loved more of a tinted neck. But those are minor complaints.
The finish on it feels thinner that what I expected... and that's a good thing. I hate the finishes that look and feel like the guitar is covered in 1/4 inch of plastic.
All around, this is an outstanding value!

GREAT LP!
Outstanding remix of the music... this is what the Yellow Submarine soundtrack SHOULD have been in 1968
