Feature:
Didn't come with a case OR case candy.....
Quality:
A little "twitchy"; needs to be set up fairly frequently. I have learned to do it so I save some coins.
NOTE: THE TRUSS ROD IS 4.5 MM.! DO NOT USE A 4 M.M.!!!!
Spend the $ on a set of allens with the 4.5 m.m..
Remember: 4.5 m.m.!
The jack was a bit loose and made a horrible racket when I first played. A simple tighten fixed it.
I got the Flat Black finish....Sexxxxxy!
Value:
I think it's a fair price. Not a screaming deal but not a total robbery.
Desirability:
I think it's the sexxiest bass I've ever seen.
Flat Black, silky smooth finish- that was what caught my eye.
It's gotten a little shiny where my thumb rests...
Sound:
The only reason I selected 9 out of 10 is that I've never seen/played a 10.
Ease of Use:
Sweet, sexy feel and sound.
Prtty light weight as well.
Support:
Long and Mcquade- chain dealers here in Canada....fair to middlin'.
Some guys are great, some are mooks.
It's a crap shoot.
Overall:
I paid $300. with a$ 250. trade in.
So, for $550. I think I did OK.
The prices were fluctuating a lot with out dollars competing but I beat the CDN$ slide!

Value:
This bass is of a "proffessional" quality and compares to and is better then some MIA jazz basses at half the price!! ( not just saying...I've owned them )would recomend to any jazz bass players looking for a 24 fret bass (34"scale)
Desirability:
Very nice playing neck, it plays it self!!!! low action and lots of punch ( depends on the way you set it up), bright clear and responsive duncan's with EQ control sounds excellent through any amp....literally...all make this bass one of my favorites for slapin' fusion/funk......it doesn't literally play itself....
Support:
I didn't have any problems except settin it up when I got it.........usually happens when you live in canada due to the change in temperature...may I add that it plays like a dream?? Let's give support a 10 cause I've owned Fender products for years and never needed to deal with them...a true sign of quality!!
Overall:
I expect this bass to last me a long time....the only problem, you need to buy a case for it....Don't think about buying one of those cheap cases either. Treat this bass with respect. If you think and MIA bass comes with the case at 1300$ ...you're wrong...it's a selling technique...you're actually paying nearly 200$ for that case...hense the 999$ retail price on the MIK Jazz 24 QMT. If it came with the nice Fender case, it would retail at 1300$ as well.
