Hi there

Yesterday I played an American Special Jazz Bass and I really liked the sound. Nevertheless, I'd like to buy a Fender with a Pbass + Jazz pickup configuration, since I need all the versatility I can get. The one which most attracted my attention, in terms of wood, construction, and p-configuration, was the Duff Mc Kagan signature (it looks awesome too).

Since both basses are on the same price range, I'd like to know which one's a better option in every aspect. I'm not gonna spend more than 800 or 900 bucks on it, so, comments like "save some more and buy another one" wont be really useful.

I know Duff's mexican and, of course, the special I'm talking about is american. That's one of the reasons I'm doubting about going for the McKagans one. Besides, I cant go to try a Duff one's to establish a comparison either, since it's not easy to find one in my country (I'd have to buy it through amazon or so).

Thanks for your time and your opinions.

Hmmmm they're both nice basses,....... but since you're looking for a bass with a P/J set up, I'd go for the Duff bass & I'd also check out the Reggie Hamilton Jazz bass too..

This bass is Fenders best kept secret....I'm surprised there's not more conversation on Fender Lounge regarding this bass... :)
