thanks everyone! Yes it is brand new! I picked it up at a local music store that has had it for about 2 years now. So i asked him..how much will you go down in price? it was originally $1,200. he said ill sell it right now for $900.00 cash! i was prepared and i had a grand on me! so i got pretty lucky i think..it came with a nice fitted hard shell case..i couldn't be more happier! I love it!

Righteous!

And I share your opinion regarding the pickguard.

Nothing says "elegance" like black.

Rawk on!

not that it matters- where were you when I was selling my exact same 2008 J bass for 600?? I tried to sell it for a long time and no one ever hit on it on my craigslist! I eventually traded it for an SWR red head and an Epifani 115 cab. The bass I had was a dud. I thought it didn't sound good . I've had that situation before. I hope yours screams!!!

I liked the tortise shell pickguard on my bass so much I bought a pair of tortise shell shades to match.

Personality is what it's all about. Gotta go with what feels right.

As far as Stroker's bass, knowing him, something definitely was off with it. The man is a seasoned pro, and has a stable. Interested in his response.

Thanks man! Yeah ive been playing bass for quite some times now. around 15 years i think. I have owned many bass guitars...nothing even comes close to the jazz bass. i love the look, the sound, the feel. everything about jazz basses is where its at! even the lower end fender products are pretty good stuff. this is my first made in america fender bass though..Im loving it! There are a few really noticeable things about the american standard that really stand out to make it the best. the pick ups, and the neck. Hands down the most solid neck ive ever played on..Not to mention the best sounding bass ive ever played!
