Top Bass no question
Classic J Bass, top quality, for the Professional II model Fender may have considered some higher end pickups. However, the included pickups perform well and give nice warm sound. Good adjustability, you will need to adjust truss rod and bridge settings until you get your personal ideal sound. Do not expect factory settings to be ideal for the sound you want.
Very smooth feel when playing for both beginners and advanced experts (so I am told, as I belong to the former group).
