    And next year Fender will release a new model called the Fender Ultra Elite Players Professional Original Roadworn Jazz bass. Maybe with a 1 at the end. Can't wait lol. Cheers

      Didnt happen lol. They actually dont update them all that often. Just depends on sales really. Apparently the ultras and pro2’s are doing well so its been years since these basses got an update.

    As a guitar player who owns and plays two basses, I love what you guys are doing. Super entertaining and I always learn new things. It's also fun to listen to these bass jams - more fun than listening to guitar players jamming, to be honest. Also, these basses look and sound great.

      How are you liking it? Im considering one. I wanted to do a mod shop jazz but i can’t justify spending 2.2k on a bass i cant even get block inlays on. If i cant get them on a custom bass which is ridiculous, ill pay less for a pro 2 with dots.

    • @garywhitehead4160
      @garywhitehead4160 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The pro 2 I bought is still as goid as the day I bought it.. numerous string changes and a lemon oil clean on the fretboard, the dual truss rod is clearly a winner as minimal neck adjustments needed. But as for the colour... didn't think I'd change from my stock black/sunburst but sooo glad I did!! Best £1600 I've spent

    It is worth the $1800. I bought one, and the varied amount of alnico in the V-Mod pickups yields a rich sound that exceeds the range of the Standard Precision bass. It merits the Professional label that is on it. It’s the Precision ll Professional. Spend the $1800. It is worth the higher price.

    Sorry for my sarcasm, but I think “professional” means that the owner should be very good in setting up of bass and fixing of the other common issues attributed to poor QC…
    I have recently bought a brand new Fender pro ii jazz bass from a quite well-known distributor and was really negatively surprised that the bass had two dead spots, one on E string and the other on A. I was even more surprised when after my intention to replace the bass I was told that a dead spot is “a physical fact and no defect…”
