For future reviews, is there any chance you could spend more time on the lowest notes -- the ones that most of us get paid for playing? Thanks.

and people keep buying the "re-designs" - makes me laugh. "Look this one has a P-J configuration and MEDIUM JUMBO FRETS" gtfoh fender your guitars are the model T of instruments. A great first design with loads of room for improvement. Like those chunky, gross, neck joints? EVERY other company has found a better solution, but Fender snobs persist under the impression that outmoded technology has the best "tone"

Nice demo - I just wish more of these demo videos would play half notes or quarter notes so we can actually HEAR the tone. Sixteenth note runs are cool, yes, but you can't readily hear how this is gonna sound on a ballad, for example.

Hi,i think you should talk about the Stringspacing on the Bridge!!! Sorry i'm abig Fender fan vor 30 years,but the Bridges on Fender Basses are S..t!! Because you are not able to adjustment the Spacing,so that the 4strings have the same distance!..that makes me sad😏 Greetzs🤘👀

You can always change the bridge out to a better one with spacing adjustments. Tons of products out there will accomplish this and many direct replacement (hole matching) that won't break the bank

I would've made this my eventual long-term bass, except 1) Fender priced it $400-$500 over where it should be compared to the slightly superior and WAY more affordable Yamaha BB434, and 2) not enough left-handed body color/maple fretboard options for my taste. Once Fender finally starts rolling back their current prices for the Player/Performer/Professional lines as well as providing more southpaw alternatives for ALL of them, I'll definitely give then another look. Until then, gotta go with Yamaha in the meantime. Sorry, but that's how it is for me. Pray Fender steps up their game for real ASAP because they're steadily becoming a "name-only" enterprise and that will only get you so far in today's business world... >:-)

Too bad most folks still don't realize a good deal of Leo's best work was under the G&L banner which he himself started and ran up until the end of his life. Amazing build quality you can get at very reasonable prices from them and, unlike Fender-In-Name-Only, they continue to uphold Leo's legacy of cutting-edge developments in the electric guitar/bass world.
