Reggaebass Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 After moving from precision’s to jazzes about 6 years ago, I went through many to find my ideal one that sounded and felt good, I sold a few I shouldn’t have done , but last week I bought another 2014 US one, and I would say it’s definitely well up there as my perfect jazz 🙂 22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FDC484950 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Olympic white with tort guard, as it should be (or black for a more punk look). Why Fender briefly went for white/mint pickguard for the series 1 American Professional is a mystery to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you find the Low Tension Flats? Many thanks old man riva ☝️, after my flatwound string quest, I’ve settled on the LTFs , and I’ve slowly fitted them to all my jazzes , except a few which have had labella deep talking fitted for years, I find the tension is just right and they add a nice mid sound , and the lows are really clear🙂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The La Bella Low Tension Flats are one of the few I’ve really liked - and you describe them far better than I could! Enjoy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
