Is this JP as 400 fully checked and set up buying direct from Amazon as opposed to buying from a saxophone store?

Mine was and it was part of the JP marketing information.I had no problems with it at all ( feel it was a good buy all round). But you may feel more reassured buying it from a saxophone store who recheck it for you- the choice is yours and being happy with your purchase is the main thing.

Is the saxophone checked over is it ready to play

Yes just remember to remove cork plugs under keys used to protect them during shipping

I will be a first time player...what other accessories will I need to get going apart from a manual?

Hi It comes pretty complete but I would suggest getting a pad saver/brush for the main body of the instrument and a neck brush too ( they’re really not expensive) later you may consider a bell brush but that can wait. I would advise getting a sturdy saxophone stand and once you start blowing you will need to buy reeds regularly ( your embouchure will change and they wear out!!) you may want to get some mouthpiece cushions ( adhesive rubber pads that go on the mouthpiece)-these are very inexpensive. The mouthpiece supplied is pretty good but if you decide to change it later; the Yamaha 4c is a pretty good all round mouthpiece.
