My search is over! I will never need another bass. Folks need to realize gold hardware is high maintenance. But it's worth the trouble. This is a beautiful bass. If this bass got lost or stolen I would most certainly replace it quick fast and in a hurry.

The sleek body has a koa top over rosewood and mahogany. Noiseless pickups add warmth and lows that complement the body's natural clarity and brightness. The circuitry has been tweaked with pre-shape, boost, and EQ settings to enhance the unique sonic nature of the exotic woods. For maximum headroom, the circuit is powered by an 18-volt supply.
This bass was buit to fit the human body. As we all know everyone tried to duplicat the J Body bass. What I like most is once you strap this baby on and raise your hand up to the neck. It's automaticly right at "F" and you are ready to play.
The most versital Fender yet! Every show some one comes up to me ans say, OMG that is the best sounding bass I've herd in a long time. This bass has a very warm fat sound with the right amount of punch when you thump and pluck.
I play every weekend and rehearse 3 time a week with a blues band, a praise team and my R&B/Funk band and this bass handles is and looke good while doing it..
I have played many different basses and owned a lot of Fender J and P basses. This model is now one of my favoites because of the sound and electronics. It's pretyy also. This is not a custom made Fedora...it is a lot of instrument for very little money.

This bass is made at the Corona factory. It has a maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard. The body is Koa over Rosewood. There are 22 frets with a 34" scale neck. The pick-ups are Noiseless TM with input stage electronics. There are cut/boost controls for treble, mid range and bass. My bass has the American Deluxe Tuning Pegs and a Deluxe String Thru-Body Bridge. All the hardware is gold.
This bass plays like a Fender Jazz Bass.
I play jazz predominately, but I also play all styles. I can find a voicing that fits just about any genre.
It's a Fender Jazz Bass. You can use it as a hammer one minute and play a gig with it the next.
