i bought this bass last year after ten years of mainly using a modulus five(that i kept) i wanted to go back to my roots. this is a fine bass! i've been using it as my main bass since i bought it,because of it's flexablity.
the graphite reinforced neck seems to work on getting rid of the notorious fender dead spots. the electronics are dead quiet and are excellent. very versitile! great for slap or jaco growl. the B string sounds tight and has good defintion. the only little bummer was i could not remove the pickgard like on my old jazz.(to much body routing for the electronics)
just make sure to check a few out to find the neck the works for you.
