I looked at American Standard Jazz basses as well, but I
have a Schecter Model T with jazz pups on her (so if I need
growl, I will just use her) and I wanted the classic thump
you get from a Precision . . .
Model Year: 2009
Price: $850.00
Where Obtained: Ebay
A Made In America Fender that has the typical Alder body,
maple neck and 20 Medium Jumbo frets. She is a passive
(electronics). Pickups are your standard P-bass with the
BEA pickup elongated to accomodate that extra string.
Finish: black with maple neck/fretboard. Bridge: 5-String
HMV, High Mass Vintage, (Strings-Thru-Body or Top-load).
Excellent playability. The neck is not massive and the
weight is significantly less than most other 5 strings.
The neck does not dive. Excellent P-bass thump.
I use Markbass CMD121 with a Markbass 1x12 Travelers
extension. I can play anything from punk to country with
this classic p-bass. She thumps mightily and she looks
great!
The bass is only a year old, but she is made for the long
haul. She is surprisingly light, but sturdy. All hardware
is heavy-duty.
