I'm glad you acquired your AC, it made me aware of them. The color is something else, and the playability is right on.

You know, I am slightly displeased with the case. I mean, it's ok… it's a "Fender hard case" but it is not a "deluxe hard case with orange interior" as was in the the original description. The current description on the Fender site doesn't even mention a case. I'm sure mine's the lowest quality hard shell case they offer. It's solid black outside. The handle is cast plastic and the latches are a little wanky. I'll probably upgrade my case to something like the one in the link below at some point, (or maybe a nice tweed case) though I rarely use the case. Got all the standard case candy with it. How about yours?

The same, and I've got a sales rep calling Fender to see why the deluxe case wasn't used. I'll let you know.

I thought about pushing that point, as well, but can't find any description anymore supporting the point. I think the original information that said "deluxe case" was from an online ebay auction. If the Fender site still said it, I would push it.

Yes, please let me know what you find out.

Original description as posted on page one of this thread in September :

"Fender’s Adam Clayton Jazz Bass puts his rock solid sound and style in your hands, with elegant appointments and elemental tone, including two potent Fender Custom Shop pickups and a beautiful Sherwood Green Metallic gloss finish with matching headstock. Other premium features include a maple neck with a custom “C”- shaped profile and vintage style heel truss-rod adjustment, 9.5”-radius rosewood fingerboard with 20 medium jumbo frets and white pearloid block inlays, four-ply white pearloid pickguard, vintage-style black plastic Jazz Bass control knobs, vintage-style high-mass bridge (combination string-through-body/top-load), vintage Style “lollipop” tuners and a deluxe black hard-shell case with orange interior."

I hope you like the Black standard hard-shell case for your AC Jazz. Fender changed the cases shortly after they released the AC Jazzes. My Rep was on the phone working to get the Deluxe case, with no luck. So,…………. oh well.

I already contacted my dealer about it as well. Their original handout to me back in September when I paid my downpayment included the deluxe case in it's description. So we'll see what they say. I don't like the case, actually. Handle is cheesy and the latches don't work well. Sorta lackluster compared to the jewel within. :|

My original 1976 Fender case has a cheesy molded plastic handle! But it has some (once white) 'stitching' to look as if it were a leather wrapped handle at a distance. Latches that spring open on their own or at the slightest bump. Cheap synthetic orange fiber interior. Yep, that's 'DeLuxe' alright! :lol: But it is authentic to the time period and that is what you should have.

I have a couple of Deluxe cases that are ok, it's no big deal.

Agreed. I noticed my strings are rattling a little and are a little looser than I like, so I took advantage of the free setup at the shop I frequent.

I have the Black Deluxe case for the AC Jazz, from a previous Jazz I sold without the case. I'll just hang on to the Black Hard-shell Standard case as a back up. It's kind of a jab on the order you placed showing the Deluxe case. At least mine was just an off the floor purchase, well after the cases were changed..
