Fender Jazz, sunburst, crafted in Japan 1999-02. This sounds great, it's very convincing indeed. The classic offset shape balances nicely on your lap or with a strap, which paired with the slim, fast neck and sensible hardware make this an easy player. It's quick and responsive in the hands, snapping back at you when you dig in hard and singing sweetly under a soft touch. The pickups deliver a generous growl, fat with midrange kick, tuneful lows and a biting, zesty top end when required. The tried and true combination of sunburst, tort and rosewood is as classy as ever; this is the party bass that you can bring home to meet your parents.
