Quick take : some tone exemples with the Fender Jr Collection Jazz Bass (Japan). SHORTSCALE.

New bass from Japan, purchased to "Bass Japan Direct".
Received 3 days ago ; new mate.
Jazz Bass shortscale.
Well, the settings are very efficient, as a longscale JB ; there are a lot of possibilities with these 3 buttons.
The name "Jr Collection" is not a good choice ; this bass is a great bass for everyone who likes or needs a shortscale, adult or not.
Amp : TC Electronic BQ500
Cabinet : Phil Jones C27
Recording method : Røde NT1 in front of the cabinet then into iRigPre2 then into a Samsung A52s smartphone.
