I’m getting one of these in that exact finish soon. It’ll be my first USA bass ever. You’re right about the pickup volumes not doing much past a certain point and that’s just one of Fender’s longtime quirks.
Love your Bass Reviews, very honest and to-the point. I love your quote “We don’t all drive the same car, and we’re not all married to the same person” so true. I’m definitely a Sunburst type of guy myself as I own a few with that finish, well I’ll be looking out for more Videos. Thank you.
Something about the sunburst on these looks so good! I got the American performer P-bass and its been excellent. It's every bit as high quality as my American professional J-bass. I really dont think the "vintage style" Bridge on these is any worse than the high mass bridge on the pro. Good review!
Lovely video, bob! i recently got a Jazz Bass and im sooo in love with it, it goes perfect with with roundwound strings, listen to interpol for some great jazz bass use
I only own a Jazz (American Professional in the Natural Ash finish) and it's heavy (4,7kg/10,36lbs) but I also own two American Performer instruments and so this was in my wishlist. But I can't justify another non '70s Jazz bass just based on its lighter weight.

Great, best of luck with the bass!
Great job Bob. I grew up with sunburst basses and guitars in the 70's - love em! Especially with black pick guards. Classy look.
Thanks Bob!

Thanks! By the way, I have your byin yang symbol on my stingray pick guard!
Nice looking guitar..Good sound....
As always, an honest review. Keep up the good work. I look forward to your next one....
Thanks, will do!

Good review!
Hey Matt, I agree. Maybe I'm old school but I love that Sunburst also.
Got mine recently and I appreciate your review. I looked it up before my purchase. Greetings from Mumbai, India. Hope you're well, sir.
Hope you enjoy it!

I can't live with anything 9 pounds or higher!
Love you brother ❤️
Thanks Dale!
I always say that the Sunburst finish is the Levi jeans of bass finishes lol.....works with anything
Correct!
You never mentioned the weight😅 You ALWAYS mention the weight😁 Great video as usual,Bob! Thank you🤙🏼
Hey William, I did. Just a little over 8 pounds.
Is this yours Bob? Great choice if so but 60 cycle is a deal killer for me, drives me nuts.
Not mine. The hum was on the light side but I would probably change to noiseless pups.
