I bought one, was assured it was Soft Maple, as described in the ad. Were these Basses EVER produced in Soft Maple, or just Basswood? This Bass by the way, with the Audere preamp I installed sounds FANTASTIC!

The one you have is a basswood body. The only soft maple is the natural 70s Vintage Modified JBass - the Vintage Modified Pbass, also the natural, or more amber color.

this is your bass spec: http://www.fender.com/products/vintage- ... -jazz-bass
found on this very Fender site.

hey pjb it's been a while.. :D

I think CV's and the VM 3ts have basswood bodies, only the natural VM has soft maple body.. and other basses are made from either basswood or agathis, not sure what Squier affinity basses are made of right now...
