Absolutely love it, although it's very, very candy apple red, but hey as long as it sounds and plays this fine.. it has all the right options from Jazz Basses over the years (in my humble opinion) And hopefully it takes the pain out of my back and neck from using the alembic MK sig. a few nights in a row. picture and youtube link below for those who are interested. the Bass will be sold in very limited numbers, and this year only (fender does not mention how many there are or were in production) www.dv247.com/assets/news/dv247/50thanniversaryjazzbass.jpg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxjYQ7...xjYQ76jCv0
They're only making 500 of them & all of the "50th" models have now shipped out of Corona. I bought one this week & it's lovely. I had to haggle for an hour with the store manager and get him to call his boss in order to get the price I wanted, though! i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/OutToPlayJazz/002-6.jpg i98.photobucket.com/albums/l259/OutToPlayJazz/024-5.jpg
