Thank you so much for reviewing this bass I suggested you try it and you followed through and your no nonsense approach is why I asked thanks Bob. Edit : If I remember correctly the Player Jazz ( Green Burst ) bass you previously reviewed was also about 9 - 10 lbs and the only difference between the 2 is the addition of rolled finger board edges and the return of Rosewood as a option
I have both the white with maple neck and the green with rosewood neck workmanship very nice no sharp fret ends on either bass traditional tail piece , traditional neck , sounds like the jazz from years ago , for that’s what I really like the mid honk really sits well in the mix , heavy yes but. I expect that in a traditional jazz bass , I’m a small guy nearing 80 years young Lol but there’s a lot of wood in a jazz , I have a very good wide strap that spreads the weight well ,so it’s ok it sounds and does what it should do very well , simple bass with a classic sound. Thanks for your honest review.
What I do not like about the player 2 series is that they did not release anything for left handed people. Which is a shame because I have a player 1 series p bass and love it. Unfortunately fender has let me down for the last time they tend to forget about us lefties existing 😂 so sire, ibanez warwick Ltd basses and schecter are the way to go for me from now on.

Glad I could help!
@@BobBlackBass You always do thanks again
Love your walking bass lines
Thanks!
Excellent explanation, thank you so much.
Hey, appreciate it! I'm happy it was helpful.

Thanks Johnny if the weight doesn't bother you that's great. I know that Sandberg makes ultra light jazz style basses though I have yet to try one
Great review as always Bob. If it's too heavy maybe you could do what that band "The Fearless Flyers" does - mount their guitars on a stand! 😊
Hey Bob, I've seen that. It's pretty cool but I think I'd prefer to go with a lighter model!
I love the Olympic White, I really wish they would've put the Rosewood neck on it!
Hey Greenize, I agree!
we think alike

I don't blame you!
@@BobBlackBass thank you for understanding.
