"BUY SOME STRINGS!"

THE PICKUPS ARE GOOD, IF NOT A LITTLE OUT OF ADJUSTMENT WHEN BOUGHT...BUT THE STRINGS ARE THE WORST! TOO MANY "BRASS-Y" OVERTONES AND SERIOUS SQUEAL AND POP PROBLEMS WITH ANY GOOD AMP. AND WHY OH WHY DO BASS MANUFACTURERS INSIST ON PUTTING THE JACK FOR THE CORD ON THE TOP OF THE GUARD? IT WOULD BE A LOT NICER IF IT WAS IN A POCKET (ALA GIBSON) OR ON THE EDGE OF THE BODY.

Description
Docs
Fender invented the electric bass and its 2 styles. The Fender Jazz Bass� and Precision Bass� have constituted the essential choice for bass players over decades. Until now, players had to choose one or the other. The new Deluxe P-Bass Special features a "best of both worlds" combo with an Alder Precision Bass body, satin finished Maple Jazz Bass neck, and a P/J pickup configuration. A US vintage bridge, gold anodized pickguard, and deluxe Fender gig bag complete the package.
