Got word back from Fender consumer relations. They sent me a specs sheet that shows alder as the body wood. Mine is a light bass compared to my Ric.


Thanks for the intel, ch willie. I definitely have the urge to Jazz up my bass collection.

I was afraid that they weren't specifying because they were using basswood. I just don't like that wood. It's just that my bass is lighter than my two alder Am. Stds, a Tele and a Strat. Apparently the J Bass is just made of lighter alder.

My '76 Precision is alder, and quite heavy. Alder is an excellent tonewood, and one that Fender has always used.

I've thought of trying to find a used lefty jazz and hot rodding it to my liking, but the current Fender American Standard has all the upgrades & looks beautiful to boot. :)

I may try giving Sweetwater a call or give Musician's Friend another chance.

It's only plastic money, right? :roll:

Oh Fender Jazz, my lovely lefty. Why does your price tag have to be so hefty? :cry: :lol:

Congratualations. You bought the twin to mine. The more I play it, the better I like it. You're going to love this bass. I look forward to seeing pictures and hearing your comments on the JB. Good for you.

Hang tight--it's a comin'. You'll be Jazz slinging before you know it. And we all know that there's nothing like the thrill of waiting, knowing it's only a few days.

:D Woo-Hoo! It's Here! It's Here! WOOT! :D

Arrived in A-1 Perfect Condition. Sure is a beauty. Sounds like a million buck$. The Custom Shop p'ups are the t_i_ts! I'm very impressed with the ultra-high quality of the American Standard. So glad I didn't settle for a MIM. Plays like a dream. Intonation is on the money, and the action is set up they way I like - nice & clean and not too low.

I'll live with it for a week or so, and post a full review.

:mrgreen: Linn :mrgreen:
