Fender Road Worn 60s Jazz Bass - Fiesta Red - Rosewood Description

A veritable racecar of a bass, the Jazz Bass was born in the 1960s and became the favorite of players who put as many miles on the instrument as they did on their tour buses.

The more it was used (and abused), the more it growled back and became even more comfortable. Fender's new Road Worn '60s Jazz Bass guitar delivers that aged look and feel—designed with 1960s specs, including a nitrocellulose-lacquer finish, and built to look, sound and feel like it's got more than just a few miles on it.

Fender Road Worn 60s Jazz Bass - Fiesta Red - Rosewood Reviews

Banana neck

Tommy
August 31, 2009

Rating: 1/10

I\'d been told that these basses have a high and even quality but this is not the case with mine.

When I got it the neck was bent like a banana. Also, the neck angle seems to be really wrong. The strings are too high even with the bridge adjusted to the lowest setting. The truss rod can only be adjusted with the neck removed completely. Furthermore, the truss rod does not work as good as you would expect on a quality instrument.

This is the worst Fender I\'ve seen.
Disappointed!
