personally I'd get the J Mascis over the Player II if you like the sound of P90s (and don't mind the slight downgrade from slab Rosewood to Indian Laurel - both are gonna need some neck polish anyway)

They're very different guitars and both have their own perks. I don't have a player II jazzmaster but I have a player II tele and the JMJM and they're both very nice. This is a good deal and I'd recommend this to anybody who wants an offset and doesn't care about having a traditional style jazzmaster - the vibrato is closer to the bridge (an upgrade in my opinion) and there isn't a rhythm circuit. The player II necks are fantastic in my opinion.

I wasn't implying this is a bad deal, the JMJM is also part of the same sale. thanks for the downvote though
Ugh, tempting. I already have a Classic Vibe in Daphne. Can anyone speak to the quality differences? I'm not enough of a jm player to know if I'll miss the rhythm circuit.
Majority of people never touch the rhythm circuit, or find it gimmicky. I think it's fun but nonessential. I don't know that player ii is a huge upgrade for you but if could you find one local to try you might prefer the neck
