Finish How did the stain or paint job look? The finish looked to be par with american made basses. The binding is an added plus. Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? It;s a japanese made fender, at least mine is, so I'd say the build quality is on par with american made ones. Features What do you consider to be the best features of this product? What features would you add to this product if you could? The fact that it has both p bass and j bass pickups is a great thing. Each has a separate volume control so you can blend between the two. The same pickups you get in a american made bass. It does have smaller body so it's lighter than other fender basses but doesn't lose much tone, if at all. They did give it the jazz bass neck which is great if you have smaller hands like myself. General Your general opinion of this product. Fantastic. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? This bass can do either sound described.
