I'd be amazed if this sells for that money!

I love the current versions of US jazz basses - the standards and the deluxe models are superb now. You still need to be careful of course but there is definitely better consistency with US Fenders. I bought a US Standard Jazz 4 string last year, sold it, regretted it, then went back to the music shop where they had three US Standards in stock and none were as good as the one I sold. Thankfully I was able to buy the one I'd sold back

Wow - really, really beautiful!

Have you tried a Fender V with graphite truss rod? Far superior to the previous versions.

I have a number of settings that I know work well together. I use those for live performances so that I 100% know that the set will work but generally, when I'm experimenting at home, I actually like them to clash with different modes, delay/feedback times, etc.

I've played about a fair amount with the order and I don't think I need a SansAmp, Radial JDI and Aguilar TH. Maybe I'll sell the SansAmp and Radial.

I've got these pedals and here is the current order:[list] [*]Markbass Compressore [*]SansAmp Bass Driver DI [*]EHX HumDebugger [*]Boss DD-6 [*]Boss DD-6 [*]Boss DD-6 [*]Boss DD-7 [*]Boss DD-7 [*]Boss DD-7 [*]Boss TU-2 (I understand that this should be the very first pedal but it doubles as a kill switch in case the delays get out of control) [*]Radial JDI Passive DI [*]Aguilar Tone Hammer [/list] I'm after some opinions and experience of ordering your pedals. I need the delay pedals and use all of them but I also think that I've gotten carried away with the DI boxes?

Oh my. Seriously beautiful bass!

I'd go on the classifieds here There are a few tasty 6ers knocking about.

I use an EBow with my 6-string Jazz Bass and tend to use it more on the high C but, as others have said, its practise that'll get you there.

I went from 4-strings straight to a 6-string and I've played it exclusively since buying it up until a few days ago when I played a 4-string again. The 4-strings actually feel a little bit like toys now

I think I'm going to have to get a 5 string version one of these in the new year. I'd like a sunburst, rosewood with tortoise shell pickguard but unfortunately the sunburst model only comes with a black pickguard and it looks as though you can't actually buy spare pickguards for these basses from Fender?

The rosewood board looks awesome. In the photos it looks nice and dark like Brazilian rosewood!

Wow! Awesome... And great job with the additions. Very well done.

Ah, a mode I know well...

Nice! Did it come with the tortoise shell pickguard or did you get that afterwards? I thought they were black pickguards on the black American Deluxe Jazz as standard?
