    [quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1414614146' post='2591451'] I wish this was in stock at my store to try, and the Deluxe version is still pre order only [url="http://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/bass_guitars_detail.asp?stock=12031010420658"]http://www.guitargui...=12031010420658[/url] [/quote] Yeah, that's what I had...just in sunburst. Damn, I loved it.

    I've played Jazz Basses from the very start of my playing time - 18 years ago. I tried a Precision about a year ago and didn't like it to be honest. I think it was due to the fact that I play finger style with my thumb resting on the bridge pickup which I have wide open while the neck pickup is turned off. Having said all this, like others have said, definitely go and try some out. You might love them.

    The 2011 5-string US Standard Fender Jazz Bass in sunburst with rosewood was one of the few basses I've had and sold that I wish I'd kept now. I loved it.

    Anybody got a Limelight that's not been aged?

    Amazing bass. Great price too.

    I've had both of these... American Deluxe Jazz Bass V - [url="http://www.fender.com/basses/jazz-bass/american-deluxe-jazz-bass-v-five-string-rosewood-fingerboard-3-color-sunburst-3-ply-bwb-pickguard/"]http://www.fender.co...-bwb-pickguard/[/url] American Standard Jazz Bass V - [url="http://www.fender.com/basses/jazz-bass/american-standard-jazz-bass-v-five-string-rosewood-fingerboard-3-color-sunburst/"]http://www.fender.co...color-sunburst/[/url] Moved them both on - this is so subjective of course. Personally, I liked the Standard a lot more than the Deluxe and, actually, it's one of the few basses I wish I hadn't sold. I'd go out and try as many as possible mate... you've got me thinking now though - I want another Jazz V. And I'm 100% sure that there are far superior Jazz Basses out there but personally speaking, and I know I'm very blinkered here, I love and want the Fender decal on the headstuck.

    I've bought the 60's, 70's and hum cancelling Aguilar Jazz replacement pickups. I thought they were all pretty good but I stuck with the 60's ones i the end and sold the others. I'd like to try their new 'hot' pickups though - they look pretty cool. And to repeat what TheSiberian said, the Fender Jazz Custom Shop pickups are fantastic. Really fantastic.

    Nothing helpful here I'm afraid - but I would say that I went through a similar thing for about fifteen years - changing basses, modding them, selling them, repeating the process, etc. - now I just enjoy my basses as they are and try not to worry about it so much.

    Sold my Fender Jazz Bass to Nick this morning. Great guy to deal with, very prompt payment. A lovely gent all round.

    Can you post photographs?

    Beautiful bass. Good luck with the sale.

    I think that tortoise shell looks awesome on black.

    I've been in the same boat and I've bought and sold loads of basses over the years - all the major brands as well as custom stuff - now I’ve whittled my collection down to two basses, a '64 Jazz Bass and a '78 Jazz Bass. To be honest, if it wasn't for the fact that the '78 has a lot of personal value to me, I'd quite happily stick with just the '64... mind you, I do have a hankering for a 6-string right now...

    Hi - it's not lose. It's solid but you can't access it to adjust it.

    All - here is my Fender Jazz Bass 24. I'll tell you the problem with it right away. The truss-rod can't be adjusted - check out the fourth photo below. I took it to Absolute Music in Poole for a string change, general service and set-up when I got a call saying the truss-rod couldn't be adjusted. Luckily the neck is straight, the action is low and there is no fret buzz but still, the truss-row cannot be adjusted. Everything else is spot on with it. Plays great, sounds great, etc. Check out some reviews here: [url="http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/reviews/bass_guitars/fender/deluxe_jazz_bass_24"]http://www.ultimate-...xe_jazz_bass_24[/url] [url="http://s1301.photobucket.com/user/minuspilots/media/IMG_4127_zpsb4352116.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1301.photobucket.com/user/minuspilots/media/IMG_4126_zps1962ca32.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1301.photobucket.com/user/minuspilots/media/IMG_4128_zps82f33b22.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1301.photobucket.com/user/minuspilots/media/IMG_4125_zps0d8485ec.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1301.photobucket.com/user/minuspilots/media/b295f0d0fc3f01ed30408ff13084dc4d_zps76a8cea3.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1301.photobucket.com/user/minuspilots/media/5c5e60cd3bc8ea47baefb7952588465a_zps2479169a.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1301.photobucket.com/user/minuspilots/media/aa93bcd9fd42349b54f7de9b20924599_zpsc18499d5.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1301.photobucket.com/user/minuspilots/media/5da6614818846ce336f79638a9fb14ec_zps960809e5.jpg.html"][/url]

    [quote name='Highfox' timestamp='1412163110' post='2566265'] Which is the best? [/quote] Do you know, I'd say from a sound perspective it's the '13 model but from a playability perspective my '64 wins hands down. It's so smooth from the years of heavy use.
