Well, this is confusing. They say it's a "reissue" of the '80s Jazz Bass Special. So, now, they call it a Precision (I always thought they shoulda called the olds ones Precisions, too, because they look like one from a distance). Ok, but I have a 1987 Jazz Bass Special. The specs are different, and I wonder if the one Duff played way back was actually more like mine.

Comparison points:

1. Mine has a glossy headstock. New one is stated as satin in the specs.
2. " " " 7.25" neck radius. " " " 9.25".
3. " " low frets. " " has medium jumbo.
4. My neck is chunky. " " is modern C-shape.
5. Mine was made in Japan. (Anyone know where new ones are made?).

So, it's not JUST like th old ones, but I'm glad to see it anyway. Anybody tried one out?

Oh yeah, mine is black, black, black.

I had a Japanese PJ bass, that is the fore runner to the Jazz bass special, loved the combination of pickups, body shape (p) neck (j) side mounted jack no pick guard, just a very smooth of line bass, I Like the look of the Duff bass, tempted by one to, but I believe the neck is more of a P type than a J type is this correct?

(My PJ is currently in parts with an american hotrod, badass, hipshot, bass lines soldering iron and tools and a super bass will arise lol)

rock on.

sorry for being illiterate and stupid but who is Duff Mckagen? Again, I plead insanity and beg forgiveness for being such a tool by asking . I wasn't going to ask but it kind of bothered me that I just couldn't place the name. I hope I have not upset anyone- to make up for it I will buy you a car. Thanks
