Mixed feelings…
Bought this bass in January 2023.
It arrived safely and very fast. A hard case is very good, much better than I got in 2012 together with my first Am std Pbass.
Pros:
- light weight
- good balance
- great fret work
- nice neck profile and feeling
- great hardware and electronics
- excellent color (subjective)
Cons:
- the neck of my bass has a deadspot in the 5th fret of E string.
- the bridge of the bass was not attached tightly, there was a gap between the bridge and the body of the bass because of thick grounding wire.
As for the sound of the bass it is quite subjective as well and I am still exploring it. From the first feeling I would say it is full but a bit muddy and warmer than the tone of previous pro model. Boosting mids and cutting lows fix this.
Conclusion:
Good bass but I would not buy it without trying first.

Lovely colour finish, nice hardware, lovely sound, bad QC
I got a lemon, bad QC, stripped truss rod nut, this was my second Am Pro II Jazz Bass from Fender and both had major issue which forced me to return them, maybe yours might be perfect but its a gamble, Fender really needs to get its act together.
