Overall Rating:
Excellent. An excellent mix of P Bass, but with J bass feel. For players with smaller hands, and who prefer a Precision Bass sound, this is the bass. You don't have to play and Ibanez soundgear bass anymore.
Model Year: 2008
Price: $1049.00 AUD (new)
Where Obtained: The Bass Center
Features:
Made In Mexico

Alder Body with a Maple Neck, Maple Fingerboard

20 Frets, 4 Strings

Volume, Pickup Selector, Stacked Lows and High, and a Mid

Alnico Split Single-Coil in mid and a Noiseless Jazz in bridge

Chrome Red Finish

Precision Body with a Jazz Neck
Playability:
The Best Part! A quick jazz style neck on a precision body. A good size jazz neck too, not too thin.
Sound Quality:
A good mix. Both Jazz and Split-Coil P Style Pickup. Ability to blend both together or cut either out provides a good range of sounds. Cutting either one out doesn't quite produce the same sound as a pure P Bass or pure J bass, but an excellent compromise.
Durability:
Fender. Even though Made in Mexico, everything is tops. All fittings feel flush and secure. No problems playing live with this bass.
