I just became the proud and happy owner of a 2007/8 MIM Standard Jazz Bass. Bought it used at Guitar Center for $300, which seems like a decent price (new about $600?). I haven't had much experience with basses (have been playing guitar for 40 years) but decided I wanted to experiment with a bass. I own a couple Fender strats so it made sense to go for a Fender bass. They had some new Fender Squires and Jaguars for less money, but this Standard Jazz MIM seemed to be a much nicer instrument. It both sounded and played better than the Squires and Jaguars. They seemed much cheaper built. And also had shorter necks, which I didn't really like. So I went for the used Standard Jazz. I think I made the right choice. I'm actually amazed at how easy it is to play. I'm playing it through a Peavey bass amp and it sounds great. My style of lead playing seems to be very conducive to playing bass because I'm actually amazing myself with how good it sounds! And it's just flat out fun to play! A nice break from the electric guitars I'm usually playing. It's also a bit of an unusual color (at least from what I've seen): a very dark blue. I haven't seen any others like it. From the serial # MZ7xxxxxx I know it was probably made 2007-2008 in Mexico. Anything else anyone can tell me about my new axe?
