What's that old cliche- "fourth time's a charm"?

Earlier this year, I sold my Rickenbacker to help deal with some hand surgery costs. I recovered the funds way quicker than expected, so being newly (and ultimately unnecessarily :x ) Rickenbacker-less, I decided that I would fill that void by trying Fender's American Design Experience yet again by placing a third order for a fourth bass (that'll make sense if you take a look at my post on the last page of this thread: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=5225&hilit=fender+american+design+creations ).

Anyhow, here's my new addition, which is absolutely amazing. Perfect neck. Sounds phenomenal. Beautiful.

I went for a modern Jazz Bass.

Lake placid blue/mint green guard
Alder Body
Maple Board
Vintage '64 Pickups

I could babble about it more, but here are some pix instead.

Awesome! Lake Placid Blue is my favorite, and with a maple fretboard 8-) aww yeah!

I'm glad your hand issue hasn't taken away from your bass playing, both physically and monetarily.

Thanks, I really appreciate that. I had a ganglion cyst on my finger. If you're a musician and you have to have hand surgery, that's the one to have. I'm very lucky and it hasn't affected anything. Very minor in the overall scheme of things. 8-)

Looks fantastic, Matt. :) When did you order it? What was the turnaround time?

Beautiful Matt- it's virtually impossible go wrong with lake placid blue and maple! Hopefully this solves your "Jazz Bass problem" for awhile? :lol:

Awesome! How would you describe those '64 pickups?
Author:  Matt R. [ June 17th, 2015, 1:53 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: New Bass Day: Fender ADE Jazz
Hm, they sound great but I can give a better description after I gig with them. Right now I can just say they're a little darker than the custom shop 60s pickups, which are snarly and bright.

Beautiful Jazz Matt, hope this one is all you hoped for, congrats!

Absolutely. The only thing I changed was that I put new pots in. As usual, they put righty pots in but wire them lefty, which is fucking stupid (no taper). But yeah it's pretty much perfect now.
