Been interested in the current 70s Jazz bass that Fender has. Anyone have one? Heard a demo & like what I hear, nice bright tone. Like to hear any input, pros/cons. Thank you, friends

Hello I have a 1972 JazzBass, I've used it for 44 years. It is a great instrument to behold. Unfortunately its bridge pick up died after 42 years, so I had Slider's Pickups restore them for me. I love my old faithful Fender.
Cons - very heavy ash body bass. However the weight gets negligible if you strap it on daily.

That one sounds interesting to me, too. I use to have a '77 Jazz Bass many moons ago when I first started out playing. I had it for a few years, but then I traded it. It was a good player, though.

I have a 1971 Jazz bass w alder body in sunburst and maple neck and a 1972 with ash body and Dimarzio PUs a 1975 Jazz with an alder body and stock pickups.
Great basses all. Weights are heavy relative to other basses but the tone is great and the look is cool.
