Conan Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 OK, I'm no Fender expert, but does anyone know anything about these basses? Seems a good price if it is genuine...

ash Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I had a 5 string version, they play well but don't have the classic Jazz sound to my ears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland Rock Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I'd hold out for a 'plus 2' as it has a built in cassette player :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidlovellbass Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 I've been looking for a tatty 5 string version after buying a Warmoth body that'll only fit Fender 5 string neck made before a certain date, sadly i don't know what that date is.....

NancyJohnson Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 If memory serves me well, when Fender bought out Kubicki one of the first things Fender did was to put the Kubicki circuitry on a range of Jazz basses. I'm not sure whether it was a good or bad thing really, more a case of Fender [at the time] being low on ideas, buying out a company that was doing something creative and fresh, then assimilating their tech into a 40-year old design.

Stacker Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 I knew someone who had the P version and swore he'd never sell it. Yeh, Kubicki ciruitry but they weren't around for long. HArdly ever se 'em popping up over here. Remember freight and import duty/VAT if you go for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
