Boom! 
In the topsy-turvy world of heavy rock, having a good solid piece of wood in your hand is often useful...

Fender does not make a Jazz Bass with a maple neck, get a G&L and you'll get an awesome color on the top of it. I love it.

Fender's American Design Experience offers maple boards on Jazz Basses. That G&L is gorgeous. Sonic Blue is one of the coolest colors ever!Frenchy-Lefty wrote:Fender does not make a Jazz Bass with a maple neck, get a G&L and you'll get an awesome color on the top of it. I love it.

Re: Trying to be patient...
For some reason I thought they had stopped the Fender American Design thing. I am glad to hear it is still happening. Hopefully they fixed this quality issue.

If only they offered jazz pickups in a P body! That would be killer!Matt R. wrote:Fender's American Design Experience offers maple boards on Jazz Basses.

Re: Trying to be patient...
Did you get a weight on this one? The weights on the Empress basses have been super light; that's what I'm hoping for

I went with Alder, I'm guessing it will come in around 8.5/9.5 lbs. I don't think I'm going to do Swamp Ash again, my SB-2 is a hair over 10lbs.bhunt1 wrote:Did you get a weight on this one? The weights on the Empress basses have been super light; that's what I'm hoping for
I think if I was going with an alternative wood choice, it would be a Sugar Pine LB100. I like how the brightness of a pine body works with a p-bass pickup.
