This is an MIM jazz bass for lefties. I got this from Musician's Friend a few years ago. It was supposed to have a white pick guard, which I was kinda meh about, but I was pleasantly surprised that it arrived with a turtle shell pick guard instead, which I think looks a lot better. Way to go Musicians Friend I guess? Anyway it sounds great and I have no complaints, I could find no flaws with the finish or frets and it was set up well from the factory. I can get some pretty good tone for slap and pop with this thing when coupled with my Acoustic 15" amp.
