Hello,

My son, Galen, is a senior at Berklee College of Music, majoring in Jazz Comp and Bass Performance.

He's been playing a Fender Jazz fretless we bought on Craigs List about 6 years ago for $300.

His Dad and I are buying him his choice of basses for his graduation present.

Galen is leaning toward the American Deluxe Jazz bass 5 string, but he also wants to try the Am Standard Jazz 5 string.

I see from your website there are 3 different model numbers of the Am. Deluxe in the color he wants, 3-color sunburst.

Please tell me the difference between these models:

019-7400-800

019-7401-800

019-0085-800

We live in the San Francisco Bay area, and plan to take Galen around to play Fender basses so he can make his decision, then we will buy it.

Please help us locate the above models.

Thank you very much.
Galen'sMom

I'm back. I figured out the model numbers I asked about are all Artist series.

I just want to find the American Deluxe Jazz 5 string bass at SF Bay area locations. Thank you,

Galen'sMom

Hi Galen's Mom!

I'm 3 days into my American Deluxe Jazz 5 string, and I love it!! I've been playing for 27 years (studied jazz) and can say it's a fine instrument indeed.

I just moved from the SF Bay Area (to Portland), and I can recommend Gelb music in Redwood City. They usually have a large selection of Fenders. Also, try B Street Music in San Mateo. You'll do well to call both first and ensure the AM Deluxe is in stock. Of course, there's also Guitar Center in the city or San Jose.

Either way, I also recommend you take your son's new bass to Gary Brawer for the best setup ever (assuming your son wants a professional setup). Gary's shop is in SF, right near 101.

Good luck!
