If you've been watching my channel, you'll know back in January I splurged on a Fender American Ultra Jazz Bass. I've gone through waves of trying to convince myself I loved it, but… I didn't. I just could never get it to play or sound as good as I expected it to, for how much it cost.

So, I sold it. (At a loss, because there is very little demand for them used at this point — though I suspect they're never going to become "collectible.") Meanwhile, I purchased its replacement… a Squier 40th Anniversary "Vintage Edition" Jazz Bass.

In this video, you'll see a time-lapse of me removing my extensive, although entirely superficial, mods to the Ultra — strings, bridge, pickguard, pickup covers and knobs; things I had done to try to force myself to feel a connection with this instrument that just wasn't there — and restoring it to the factory setup for resale. And then, my initial, spontaneous reactions to the Squier, moments after it arrived and I took it out of the box.
