If anyone has played it, or heard anything about it please tell me 'coz I'm really really considering to buy one, but I can't try it out because not one shop in Belgium has them in stock yet :rolleyes:

thanx! :thumb:

I saw one in a shop a few weeks ago. The first thing that struck is is that it doesn't look like a typical Fender (this is a good thing to me).

The flame maple top and longer fretboard lends looks to a more customised look.

Unfortunately I never played one, but it's one of a few Fenders I wouldn't be against owning ;).

They're pretty good basses, but the 24-fret neck makes it lose some of its "Fenderness," if you know what I mean. It's a great bass, though. :D

I'd give ite a 7/10, considering I grade basses VERY hard, that's a darn good score.

I reccomend it if you need to play every genre: rock, jazz, metal, funk, etc. It's a great bass overall and the looks are stunning.

I'd swap out the SD PUPs for DiMarzio PUPs...I don't like SD J style PUPs, only SD Ps. :eek:

thnx for the info :thumb: keep it coming!

and yes, I'd use it for everything out there: pick-playing punk, fingerstyle rock, slap 'n pop, two-hand tapping etc.

idk a lot about it but get in the colorof the pic, that is pure sex.

^^ I know

What's the price on it. That picture reminded me of a Peavey that looked very similar minus the headstock.

same paint, thats pretty much it though.

[MasterofBass]

YES!!!!!!

Finally they made a Fender Jazz with 24 frets. The reason I don't like Fenders is that before now, all the ones (minus a few sigs, notedly Stu Hamm's), I haven't seen one with more than 20 frets. I think it's a big step for them :lol:

Hopefully I'll see one next time I go to Guitar Center

next they need a 24 fret P-Bass and they'll be good to go.

I'm i the only one who hates this bass?

i thibk the deluxe series or some certain series has 22 frets.

[Radiobass81]

Well, I can tell you it is CIJ, and feels a lot like all the other CIJ Fender's, with a few more frets

It's Korean made.

It's a nice bass. If I ever get a jazz, I'll probably look into this.

[Led_Zeppelin678]

Best Fender I've ever played.

Keep in mind that I hate all Fenders but this one, the Geddy sig, and vintage.

[rojo01]

why do so many people hate fenders? theyre good basses.

[Killer Fridge]

i really liked this bass, played it allot when looking for a new bass, and i would have gotten it, if my budget hadnt gone up during the time

still a lovely bass, but it does loose a certain "fenderness" ala it not really a jazz bass as such, being it has too many frets

sounds nice though, and plays pretty well

[Misanthropic]

What's "fenderness"?

[Michaeltheyoungbassist]

I played and i loved it, it has that jazz sound to it, but better looks and more frets and I have a Fender Jazz just no the 24 model

[Sammy_L_D]

We have one in stock at the store I work at at the moment.

It's a fantastic bass.

[Spaceman Spiff]

My main problem with Fenders is the low number of frets, and though I've never played this, I suspect it's very nice.

[Sammy_L_D]

Well, it's a 24 fretter, so no more low fret problems.

[Spaceman Spiff]

That was my point.

[Sammy_L_D]

Sweet.

yes

[MuRd0K]

I really dislike the aesthetics of it =S.

I agree with those two things.

I love the fact that it has twenty-four frets, and, me personally hating Fender and all, makes me like it more. And, yes, it doesn't look like a typical Fender, which is even better since I hate their aesthetics. :)

I haven't tried out this bass, yet, but it does look rather promising for it being a Fender and all.

I don't know about the colour too much, though. I mean, it's not terribly hideous, but the colour could definitely be much better.

[MuRd0K]

pfft it pwns you
Wrong.



This pwns me (specially my penis)

[Pluperfect_Arson]

I love the Stiletto Custom-5 so incredibly much.

I'm hoping to get one sometime in the near future.

[MuRd0K]

I'm buying all of them, it doesn't matter what city or country has them, ALL of those Stilleto's Custom so nobody plays them except me.

So keep on hoping. And no, I won't give you one xP.

Something that makes it a Fender...the "Fender-ness."

[bassweasel]

they feel quite nice. about like a highway one and the tone is pretty good. a hair beefier than the standard electronics. mm... hairy beef:p the neck is good but the 24 fret is decently unfun to grope at when you arent sitting or high on the strap. good buy...

[bassweasel]

why do so many people hate fenders? theyre good basses.
because theyre simple. everyone likes having 500000 knobs and weird oily woods on their basses. personally i think fenders work great. best 5s under 700$ but beyond that i think music man has better fretwork.

Actually, I hate Fender's becuase I hate paying for a name and getting crap.
That's all.

[i_sold_my_soul_to_rocknroll]

Many Fenders are overpriced. The MIA series is just ridiculous.

MIM, or CIJ are fine, though.

agreed. highway 1s are damn nice basses though. as are the mim deluxes

[i_sold_my_soul_to_rocknroll]

I just purchased a MIM fretless J, and it's a great instrument for the price. Good skeleton for mods that will easily make it a delux bass.

DUH:p


Honestly, I'm just tired of seeing Fender, and I really don't think that they're all that great. I'm also not a fan of J and P pickups.

[Luckt]

I've played it, but not for very long. and i wasn't plugged in, but like action wise it was pretty good.

[bass&cookies]

24 frets is alwas useful. i like the slimmer body too.
