I have a Player I that bought from a small local shop a month ago when they were clearing them out for $679. It’s the exact same color with the maple neck. The only difference is the maple is lighter on mine. I love the darker maple but the light looks great against the black and white body. Anyway it came with a free setup. The edges aren’t rolled but they feel fine. Seems like it was a great deal.
I ordered a Player II P Bass in aquatone blue on sweetwater last week. They found me a nice light one under 8lbs coming in next week - looking forward to it. Thanks for the review
@@BobBlackBass BTW Bob Squier is supposed to release a Affinity Series Active Jazz bass in December/January for less than 350 the least expensive active bass I know is the Sterling Ray 4 @ 379 and it's not terrible so I'm curious as to what Fender/Squier is going to offer for that price
I actually like the players mine have Seymour Duncan’s I actually like the standard bridge much truer to my real 1957 P I think better than the pro II . I’m in my late seventies 81/2 pounds is fine ,and I’m a maple neck fan . Thanks for the review it definitely is a working man or woman’s bass does what it’s supposed to do sound solid in any kind of music .
I compared one to a series 1 at Guitar Center. The new II had a lot fatter neck. They only had 1 of the new ones, so I'm wondering if this one was an odd-ball or the new normal for this model? The Player II Jazz felt no different than a Player I.
I purchased the player 2 p Bass last week, $680.00. Weight wise, seems ok, compared to my 5 string. I find it has a bit of a metalic edge to the sound. I heard it on your examples too. Do you think its a function of bright rounds, or an adjustment.
I prefer the player l series, I feel it has a less bright sound and more of a classic p bass.. call me crazy but I think the player l series is still the best in tone for professional recording and making a career in 2024

Nice! got my eye on one that's 8.3....8 1/2 is my cut off as well.
Awesome! Can't go wrong!
Sounds very bright, must be the brand new strings
That and the pickup is super hot on that one.

Hey Deb, I didn't notice any difference but didn't have them side by side. Interesting!
sounds great!! Awesome review as well! I maybe tempted to purchase... what do you think?
Hey Josh, thanks so much! Can't go wrong with a P Bass!

Hey Saneman, perfect weight!

I think it's the new rounds.

Hey True search, thanks for your input! You could be right!!
How do you like the rolled fingerboard edges?
Hey Sam, it felt very good.
I hear you talking about students. What part of Florida are you located?
Ocala
Does anyone like Flat wounds on a p bass ?
Yup, that's a great sound!
