    This bass is the bomb. I love it, love it, love it. It sounds like the best jazz bass and the best stingray bass had a baby. Great job Fender. I got him in the line-up with Adam Clayton jazz bass (also a phenom) and an elite jazz bass 5 string in turquoise ocean blue ( the father of the boys).

    FSR Japanese Jazz v Flea bass

    Not sure if this has cropped up before but I’m looking to buy a new Jazz and find myself wavering between the Japanese FSR in Walnut and the shell pink roadworn Flea bass. I can try the Flea in a local store but the FSR is miles away, anybody had experience of these two? Which one is the better buy?
