"Worth every penny....."

Feature:
As I said I bought this bass used & got a hard-shell case with mine,but hey at least they include a gig bag. It's no-sense bass every feature has a purpose. All materials & parts are very good quality.My bass is almost 10 yrs old & everything still works great & the bass is very solid. I the option of a maple finger board would be cool.I think it would look really cool since the head stock is maple.

Quality:
OK some people are guitar snobs & think that anything but a USA Fender is junk,they're wrong.This MIM is a very well crafted instrument & should last you a lifetime with proper care & handling.Mine(a 99') has spent a good portion of it's life in a case(until now,it's out gigging every weekend)& the finish still looks brand new.It's finish is flawless,very deep & very shiny.The neck is smooth as silk. Stay in tune very well.I'm not sure about the factory strings that are on it,I'm sure they're quality Fender strings,but a set of DR Lo-Riders

Value:
I bought my used from a friend for a great price but I believe this bass is well worth the cost of a new one.It's a great way to own a Fender Jazz bass for half the cost of a USA model. The US made electronics are a hidden feature that only add to the value.

Desirability:
I have the Candy Apple Red & it's dead sexy !! I get compliments on the look & the sound of the bass from fellow musicians & people in the crowd.This is my 6th bass in my "Bass Arsenal" & quickly becoming a favorite. If you're looking to make the leap to a 5 string or just looking for a good quality bass to gig with that won't break the bank this may be your bass.

Sound:
This bass is a tone monster !! It has a deep bass tone but also good highs & a great mid range.After to you learn the controls it's very easy to dial in the sound your looking for.Lots of volume from this monster. I play through a SWR Working Pro 15 & between the amp & the guitar I can cover a wide range of musical styles & sounds.The pickups & electronics are very quite & very responsive. I bought my used(a 1999 model)& it had some old strings on it & once I replaced them with some DR Lo-Riders it really came alive.

Ease of Use:
With some experimenting you can make this bass sound like a P bass or get that nasty J bass growl or a combo of both,a deep dark heavy metal bass,a bright pop style bass or a funk machine. If you're expecting that slim J bass neck your in for a surprise,it has a pretty wide neck but not uncomfortable.A person with smaller hands may have some fatigue after a long gig & it's pretty heavy.It's a "Real Man's " bass.(LOL) I have 2 other 5 strings (Dean fretless & an older Peavey)that have slimmer necks,but not as wide as my Washburn 6 string.Don't let that be something that keeps you from buying this bass.

Support:
Haven't had to use it but it a FENDER so it's gotta be good.

Overall:
I wasn't really looking to by another bass when my friend showed this one to me.But after seeing it & playing it I think I would have tried to go get one if this one hadn't been for sale. I play in a country,rock,blues,Cajun & Tex-Mex band so having a wide vary of sounds at my finger tips is a great benefit to me. We play around 100 gigs a year,so I use my equipment it's not just to hang it on the wall & look at it.I'm sure this bass will be a warrior. PROS: awesome sound,wide variety of tones,great color,finish & good hardware,lots of boom for your buck CONS: pretty heavy & the neck is just a little wide(but not that bad)
