American Deluxe V. 2 JB pickups noiseless. Channel 22 boxes. Bass, shape, EQ + trebble overall volume. Deluxe tuning machines: plastic! light, but you do with time. Bridge classic "thru body": very adjustable (height, distance between the strings) happiness. Not too heavy. 9 because of the plastic.

UTILIZATION

Top for my taste - even the factory settings. I'll see later for the spacing between the strings - can be a bit tight for the slap, I have not yet understood. Standing or sitting: it seems that the thing is part of your body very good ergonomics. I find that I am crossing faster and more complex than on my Ibanez 4 string with a handle end and very fast. This tool changes the musical approach: for example, attacks.
The pickguard ... I would be happy not to have it at all, but hey you get used to it. 9 for the pickguard.

SOUNDS

Top. On the amp or direct recording. It takes some getting used to the SI (after 4 strings is particular). Its full potential, while remaining in power, roundness and grain. Nothing to say - Fender Jazz Bass.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had three weeks. I chose it after much testing of different manufacturers: I hesitated at the end between her and StingRay V (excellent tool) - I chose the jazz bass.
What I like least - is the price, but it is, never mind.
I do not regret my choice (I love this instrument) - for those who love the Fender Jazz Bass, I highly recommend it.
