Hello everyone !!

I'm new to the forum!! :)

I'm looking to buy a 4 string american fender jazz bass.I have found this American Jazz Bass Deluxe Ash with maple fretboard and tobacco sunburst finish.I play mostly funk/pop/rock with lots of slapping so I think the active electronics sound great for me (and its easy to modify that bass with different pickups and preamp that require batteries).I want to hear your opinions on this bass ? Have anyone played it ? Any inside tips what to look for from experienced Fender Jazz owners ?? I had a chance to try out this bass briefly in the store and what I noticed is that it makes constant noise when its volume is fully on (everything else is flat)..Also that noise is very loud if I turn up the treble control..(doesn't appear louder with other controls)..Also there is static noise when I make contact with the strings (small crack is heard like it get grounded or something)...Now I want to know are all jazz basses like this or this may be to problem with the store (and its electric installations inside that are causing the buzzing) ??? One more thing I wanted to know is how low can you put the action on these basses ? Can 2mm factory recommendation be achieved ?? Judging from the serial number , bass is 2008 made.What are the fender innovations for that particular year ??

Lots of questions I know :) But, thanks in advance!!!

p.s. if anyone has a picture of the same bass please send it here , I couldn't find a full res picture of this particular bass nowhere on the internet..

Cheers :)
