I've wanted an American Jazz Bass for a long time. In particular I was looking for a 2012 Candy Cola bass with a rosewood fingerboard, and these guys had it! The bass shipped out the day I bought it, and it arrived a day ahead of schedule. I'm really pleased with ZZsounds shipping. As for the bass, it's incredible! The finishes on both the body and the neck are very nice. The satin on the back of the neck is smooth and glassy. The fingerboard feels great, and the factory set up was pretty great too. The Jazz Bass has two custom shop pickups, (2012 feature for all American Fenders) and they have massive sound, It's very round and full, not tinny or nasally at all. I'm going to change the strings however, because the stock strings just aren't my cup of tea. Try them first, see if you like them. As for me, I can't wait to slap some D'addarios on and play for days. Great bass.
