I bought the Fender '75 Jazz Bass to upgrade from the basic Yahama BB404 I bought when I started to play. I've always loved Fender Jazz basses, and this one in particular is a great size and weight, and just looks beautiful (although I haven't used the pickup guard or bridge plate shown in the photo).
Compared to my Yahama bass, the Fender is much more substantial in terms of weight and construction, and the sound is much warmer and richer.
This guitar holds it's tuning very well, after a heavy practice session it's still using very close to being in perfect tune, but I do recommend using an inline tuner to check every now and again.

Advantages: Amazing value for money! Disadvantages: None, unless you want a guitar with a tremolo arm.
the pickups individually. Positions 2 and 4 give combinations of the "bridge and middle" / "neck and middle" pickups in humbucking configuration. This allows you to go from standard Telecaster tones to meaty humbucking tones at a flick of the switch.
Disadvantages are few - there is no tremolo arm, but if you were looking for a guitar with a tremolo, you would not usually consider a Telecaster. Thirty or forty years ago it was common to fit a Bigsby arm to a Telecaster in Nashville, and you can still buy a suitable Bigsby today!
When I was young, a lot of the older players used to say "If you can only afford one good guitar, buy a Telecaster". I actually preferred Gibsons, and my first five electric guitars were Gibsons. But now I have one of these, I would say "If you can only afford one good guitar, buy a Nashville Telecaster ...
