If you want a super neck on a light bass w/ vintage tuners/bridge look no further. Mine is a superb playing instrument. Like all NOS fenders it needs adjusting to your preferences. The pickups are the weak spot. They are ok sounding w/ lots of 60 cycle hum, I think they are just standard jazz issue. I installed fender 60's custom shop pickups and the bass was perfect to replace my real vintage one on stages. You cannot go wrong w/ soem tweaking if your pro , and if not it's fine as is.

I'm a lifelong Fender fan, but oddly enough I've only owned Precisions with just a passing interest in the Jazz family. About a year ago I decided to give the Jazz a closer look and was planning to start with a Squier Classic Vibe since it wouldn't involve much investment. But as soon as I picked up the Road Worn, I was hooked. I own a real 1958 Precision, and this bass has the same feel and vibe as the old fella. I love the palette of tone that's possible, and the neck is awesome. I'm not crazy about Fender strings, so I restringed it with DR Marcus Millers which seemed appropriate. One downside compared to a Precision is single coil pickups manage to allow 60Hz line noise, lights, and any other RFI that is present to bleed through. Shielding really helped, though. The bottom line: this is an awesome bass, a little pricey, but now my first choice for practice and gigs. You're not likely to be disappointed...
