Mine is butterscotch blond (Alder Corp.), mapple sleeve, black pickguard 1-ply (very classy;-D)
Through-string, very good sustain
Switch not on mine too stubborn, for against the volume knob that supports the switch has turned into "endless knob" after three manipulations, nothing serious but a bit irritating for a fender U.S.
But the finish and component quality breathe, it's really a beautiful "object"
Comes with a case "arched" pretty ugly, a pretty average quality.
In this case a key setting sleeve, a jack, and other trinkets qques
It comes ready to play, very proper setting for mine, good durability, it is not always the case

the rest has already been said ...

UTILIZATION

Channel satin varnish rather nice profile adapted to the size of my hands, very near the head end
I do not have too much opportunity to request access to acute
The shape is perfect (Ok I may be too objective), I think it's the best bass in the world, never seen anything more .... Clearly,-D, Leo Fender was a visionary genius, if only one thing from him today in Fender's what looks to fall
Ergonomics is very correct, like sitting up, very well balanced
The sound is no surprise, however, it deserves a set of microphones with a little more like potato output Seymour Duncan

SOUNDS

I play post rock (Mogwai inf, Sigur Ros) and pop rock (inf Happy Mondays, Stone Roses ,...)
I use a bass driver + comp + EBS EBS some distortion, the sound is perfect for a sitting ryhtmique concreting, the bass is deep, mid-neck is hyper-dynamic, "tense" and accurate, my combo is a 4x10 marshall out of age and smashed by the truck journeys;-D, I only used that back anyway because I transplanted the bass driver in a systematic XLR
I use it mostly for live switchée potato in the sound recording is interesting because not switched much more nuanced
I never play on a single microphone, but having tested it true that quite a buzz

OVERALL OPINION

It replaced my precision for 2 years
What I like most is that you branch and it sounds, never planted
What I like least ... can be the case;-D
I tried and owned many basses, the only thing left are accurate and that U.S. Jazz Bass
The value price is right (thank you the euro-D), it's already a low budget but that is kept for life
I do it again this choice because it was well thought out, and I was not disappointed because I already knew before you buy
