MIM standards were five to seven piece veneered bodies in the past not sure they are now.

Also, I much prefer the Mexican Jazz bass I have now to the Fender Japan bass that I had previously.

Although we should never believe what we read on forums ( ) I've seen a lot of negative comments about the EJ signature model - mostly saying the finish on the neck is too thick and sticky (despite supposedly being a "thin skin"). Some people also seem to think the 12" radius makes it feel stiff and/or hard to play, although that seems odd to me.
I've never tried one so I can't say.

I will concede the best fenders I have played have been custom shop and master built guitars but there is a huge amount of money between these and the MIM classic's.
For my pocket I can not justify getting a custom shop and frankly I wouldn't buy a USA standard because I feel that they do not represent enough (in my hands and to my ears any) improvement over the top end MIM guitars.
