I have a lightly aged Sonic Blue Alnus Jazz Bass. Yes it’s an aged Fender copy, but it absolutely blew my Road Worn (Mexican) Fender Anniversary 60s Jazz Bass out of the water. The workmanship, the quality of the ageing (very subtle in my case) and the playability is up there with custom shop Fenders, for a quarter of the price. I sold the Fender (for what I paid for the Alnus) and now have a three bass collection — a ‘72 Precision, an ‘86 Stingray and the Alnus Jazz, which really holds its own alongside the other two. I couldn’t be happier with it.
