Russ Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 I came across a small music shop in Oxted today (lovely little town if you ever get the chance to go there... very quaint, and a little one-screen cinema where you still get usherettes with orange-rimmed torches who serve ice cream and Kia-Ora before the film starts ), and they had an interesting-looking Fender American Deluxe Jazz 5-string in the window. So, of course, I had to go and take a look. Wow... just, wow. What a bass! The neck was a little on the chunky side, but it sounded amazing, even through the smallish combo I tried it through. Loads of tones, punchy as hell, versatile EQ, great feel... managed to get everything from Marcus-style slap heaven to the chunkiest pickstyle tone ever. I want one.

Josh Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 (edited) Mines a 4 stringer and a mildly old one (Prior to the noiseless pick-ups that is) and plays like a dream and sounds like a Jazz should do and it's able to get closer tot he Miller slap tone better than the sig series!
