This bass is AWESOME it's got really good fit and finish to it. I've had this bass for 3 years now I've not once had to adjust the truss rod. The pickup has that classic fender tone to it,I've never heard the jazz pickup on mine,I bought the bass on reverb the jazz pickup wasn't hooked up so I took it out all together now it has that road worn look speaking of I'm not sure if Fender used poly finish on this applied thin or if it's a nitro finish but it DOES wear kinda like nitro,mines got a good wear spot where my arm touches it and a couple little ones at the bottom. I play this bass everyday some days over 5 hours if your interested in buying one of these DO IT!
