  Characteristics

  The Fender Jaguar Bass is an electric bass guitar that has two single coil pick ups and a variety of setting controls.  The guitar comes in a few different versions, but the one that I have used was made in Japan.  This guitar takes the basic make up of the Jaguar guitar and applies it to the bass, offering up the ability to change the tone of the bass sound in a lot of different ways.  The neck is made out of maple and has an overall great feel to it.

  Utilization

  The configuration of the Fender Jaguar Bass is a bit more complex than most electric basses, but it is worth it to learn what everything does as all of the tone control settings can really be helpful.  The bass has knobs for overall volume and tone, and also has a series of pick up switches and sliders to control your tone in a variety of ways.  The weight is average for a Fender bass guitar and the feel is perfect as it is easy to follow all up and down the neck.  Getting a good sound isn't hard at all as this is a versatile bass that is capable of getting tone for a variety of different genres. 

  Sounds

  The tones possible with the Fender Jaguar Bass are versatile and are overall great sounding.  I find it easy to get all sorts of different tones with this bass and for this reason I love using it in the studio.  It makes it easy to switch from one type of tone to another without having to switch a bass or something else manipulating the sound.  I have only used the bass for recording and generally use both an amp and a direct input box when trying to get a sound down, as this gives me options when I go to mix down.  Although I haven't used it for any live shows, I can tell that this would also be a great bass for this application since it is so easy and quick to change tones.

  Overall Opinion

  I've used the Fender Jaguar Bass for about a year for recording and have to say that it is one of my favorite basses to record with because of its elite sound quality and versatility in terms of tone.  The price is about right for a top tier bass, but is still aimed at those looking for a top notch bass as this isn't cheap.  If you want a very cool looking and sounding electric bass guitar, definitely consider the Fender Jaguar Bass.

  Characteristics

  Japanese-made, good finish, no problem.
  
  Manche Jazz Bass Rosewood, broad, pleasant, he was well in hand. 20 Frets
  
  Motorsports Fender, it's beefy ...
  
  Fender Standard bridge, a bit light for my taste, it tends more towards the folded sheet ...
  
  2 Jazz Bass pickups.
  
  A switch by a third micro switch + serial / parallel, I do not understand the principle, but the sound is better with =)
  
  A switch active / passive with 2 adjustment knobs.
  
  9 for the bridge a bit disappointing on a bass of this bill ...

  Utilization

  Channel super nice, no problems for the treble.
  
  The beast is out of balance, she leans her head, playing standing, it must "hold", it's tiring in the long run ...
  
  She still weighs his weight, Fender ...
  
  For the game seated, the horn flares, it's slippery, and there also must be taken not to let her go, but it is widely supported, and we get something for nothing: the look is hell ...
  
  The settings are fairly intuitive, and the bass is super versatile ...
  
  8 for the imbalance

  Sounds

  I play 70's 80's rock and blues rock, the sound should be perfectly ...
  
  I hesitated with Precision, I do not regret my choice. I can completely change her, without touching the amp ...
  
  With the bridge pickup tone open, it has a sound pastoriusien full of medium defined ...
  
  In neck pickup tone open, the sound tends toward the jazzy bass ... We close the tone and the sound is much more rounded, warm, sometimes too well, there is a lack of précsision is a bit messy ...
  
  Personally, my sound is found: the two microphones and the little magic switch is closed a little tone, we have a full, warm, rich as to overload the amp, set with sharp passing and serious which are all farting!
  
  For slap it supports, it can even be enjoyable, but one does better.
  
  I play without effects, without any special settings on the amp, Fender is the sound ...
  
  Out of habit I do not play in liabilities, assets, the two wheels are pretty useless, it's on / off.
  
  9 for the active

  Overall Opinion

  I use it for a year, I tried Precision, the Jazz Bass, Fender sound I wanted, I am served.
  
  That style Jazz Bass and more complete, versatile, original ... And what a look!
  
  It is worth its price, at the height of some American, to which it need not be ashamed ...
  
  For me, used to 600 euros is a great deal, I would do without hesitation that choice, even to pay a high price ...

  Characteristics

  - Manufacturing Japan
  
  - 20 frets, two jazz bass pickups
  
  - Basic rack
  
  - Portard a volume, a different key to switch three micro chosiir macnhe or easel and a third to put them in series / parallel
  
  - Above a small button to switch to active with two dial to settings (not very sensitive settings)
  
  - The pleasant mache

  Utilization

  - Since I had a disease I have to pay attention to amcnhe otherwise I can not play long ... for once I never thought to buy a fender heavy macnhes that were great big ... BEN NOT as previously said "a autoriute" the handle
  
  - Access to the Augustinian tip top
  
  - Ergonomics not top the b ^ te dangeuresement looking (but for me it's a detail)
  
  - You get SOUND Fender Jazz Bass, with a great look!!

  Sounds

  I play a lot of progressive rock, metal and so the jaguar conveint very well to my style of music
  
  I play with an ampeg BA 110
  
  I get all the sounds I want (but fender tjs)
  
  I love all the sounds (although the settings when you are active does not offer many opportunities to quote another amatauer is the on / off

  Overall Opinion

  I did not long ago (November 2008: thank you papa noel)
  
  I like the look, sound. What I like least is that the sound of the E string is much stronger than the other three strings
  
  I tried a gibson moneywalker, frome a gibson Les Paul, a Fender Jazz Bass higway one ....
  
  I think for the price the pickups could be mlieux set (it should change the pickups for this so balanced??)
  
  
  
  On the experience left me time to make me an opinion still further and I will say again .... ca

  reno2's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  - Japan
  
  - 2 micros simple
  
  - Vintage bridge
  
  - 1 volume, 1 Tone 2 micro switches, one switch series / parallle, a switch active / passive tone and 2 for the asset
  
  - Round end

  Utilization

  - The handle is fine, trs trs enjoyable. is the reason for my purchase
  
  - The jaguar is not well equilibrated: the head looks down. Standing with a strap but no worries on the fist lap right hand holds the bass (hurt)
  
  - The sound is Fidler cad super brand, I use it as a liability with all the microphones were on his Fender Jazz Bass. I do not use the asset, to be sure we have a big sound, but you lose the dynamics of the sound palette.
  
  8 / 10 because of the head that looks (the body of a jaguar with a guitar neck was so low can not be equilibrated

  Sounds

  - Rock, jazz
  
  - I play on markbass and DI for concerts
  
  - Fender Jazz Bass sound
  
  - In the studio attention the jaguar roars and spits. I believe we must review the cblage microphones with shielded cable .... on a low 800 and "brand" ... it's a shame. but good for 20 of cable and patience
  
  - Even when it was on its fender
  
  - 8 / 10 because of background noise

  Overall Opinion

  - 4 months bought 800 New Pre-Owned (she was a lightweight in the back poc mishandling of the store so I ngocier as an opportunity)
  
  - To +: the sound, the neck, mouth (and yes even when)
  
  - The -: evil equilibrated cblage
  
  - I jou on: musicman, Honing, fender, yam ... but not at the same time
  
  - I love it

  cisco_closer's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  Well, all t said. I replaced the bridge with a BADASS II, having read / heard that c'tait a weak bass.
  
  
  
  I want even when the wheels prciser who run the bass and treble of the active section are for show: there is a notch, we do not feel the finger, but the ear, the fact that there are only two positions for each frquence: on or off. But hey, whatever.
  
  
  
  EDIT 2 years later. I changed the mcaniques (a little feeble, too) for that are just gniales Schaller, and microphones (a little too weak people eventually, and a big diffrence Submitted level between the mid and other strings as amplification systems) for JB Fender CUSTOM SHOP '60 and l. .. is the class. So I lower note 7 because the original bass is well made, especially at violin, but the equipment is somewhat limited. Finally Thomann for the price is good, but for what it is sold in stores, no.

  Utilization

  The handle is a vritable highway, in line with the Fender. It reaches Most recent internship marks the handle without too much trouble no worries of ct l.
  
  
  
  Level form, in addition to look fabulous (in real life is even better than photo, it is unanimously around me =)), it's really enjoyable to play, she finds still a place that you play sitting or standing. It looks lgrement to the head, but nothing Dranga for me. on the other hand, it's true that it is heavy enough, after several hours of repeated 'it on the shoulders PSE. But hey, it was the sound that goes with it also ..
  
  
  
  EDIT 2 years later. Say anything about this, niquel, always a pleasure!

  Sounds

  I play mostly rock / metal, and I love the vintage sound ct, without lapsing into the old thing. It fits perfectly with the modern composition rsolument I play, bringing his touch.
  
  
  
  I play on a Rumble 100w, relatively neutral, with no effects.
  
  
  
  There are possibilities that low standards, that's what makes her strong point. By passive, it's a noun standard, with the micro switch and Tone can vary from round prcis something more slamming. When one switches on the asset, its just duly: Carved an even more well dug in the mids, which can be loaded at low trs, in acute or perfect balance.
  
  
  
  I was nervous that it provides especially finger and slap, because I play a lot in mdiator. No worries: the rglages help shape the sound of a switch. I also play covers of all styles, and I still need her.
  
  
  
  EDIT 2 years later with the JB Custom Shop pickups, overall it keeps the same characters, but without the worries of level between the strings, and better for all. It really dchire now. Well I swapped my Rumble against a set SVT 3 Pro / 4x10 EDEN therefore forcment ca plays haha, but even the rumble of silent diffrence gross.

  Overall Opinion

  It'll be two months that I have, a lot of rehearsals and a concert dernirement.
  
  
  
  The fact that it is switchable active / passive, it's really strong point, which allows a versatility of its really interesting. All sound is impressive.
  
  
  
  It is the European price (around 1000 in the store I think, in the 850 on the internet), I bought in the U.S. on ebay and I went out to about 750, so for me qualitprix the report is excellent.
  
  
  
  I resume my eyes closed.
  
  
  
  EDIT 2 years later. It's definitely worth after changes Describes above carries, + the pramp see when I sub. It is a low premium now, without question. All in all I have for the 1100 or 1200 but it's well worth Submitted.

  romanolebo's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  Bass made in Japan, a beautiful "Made in Japan" at the bottom of the rear handle. Channel Bass or so we like ... we love!
  
  The bridge is fairly standard, blah for a low room rate.
  
  Active or passive mode.
  
  Rglages passive mode:
  
  1 volume knob, 1 Tone 1 button switch to switch the microphones or parallle SERIES + 2 switches for each of the microphones.
  
  I will definitely change the pickups for a little boost.

  Utilization

  The handle is a vritable boulevard. APRS on Music Man 15 years I had the impression of discovering the fluidity of my left hand.
  
  It looks a little bit of the head, but I was told that c'tait normal, if not in weight we feel that it is wood, so a good belt is required.
  
  Good sound and versatility of active ais pass by a simple passive knob (useful in case of battery bay full concert / rpetition).
  
  The rglage seems complex, but simple enough to use both active and passive mode.

  Sounds

  I play rock and several styles of rock. It suits me in clean or distortion. She knows both funky groove to the songs. It is less aggressive than my Music Man that I will continue to use certain pieces of fusion.
  
  I play mostly on a Hartke amp 25W (impractical on to a ground if the attentions grsillements). I use a Digitech distortion, no worries of compatibility.

  Overall Opinion

  I use this bass for 1 month and I can not get enough. I made a mistake by taking my music man in rptition last Monday and I had a hell of a replay!
  
  Goodies: rtro the look, the handle, versatility
  
  Cons: a little heavy head and a bridge a little lightweight.
  
  
  
  Trs good price quality ratio, I Rasht without hsiter if unfortunately I was stealing the

  jim63's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  Fender jaguar bass, therefore, Japan. As I know more than the bass electric bass I limit myself to the ideas of his or gnrales, sorry ... the type of micro or bridge a bit unknown to me ...
  
  rglages level is the rplique jag version of guitar, so two volume knobs / selectors Tone and three microphones ...
  
  with the addition of the "active": a selector active / passive, and both calves for equalization. trs effective.

  Utilization

  The neck is super enjoyable, fast trs, access to acute very easy. Ergonomics really enjoyable, I find the forms and the weight of this bass more than the Russian Jazzbass but it is a matter of taste.
  
  the sound is super versatile due to the active section possible. In liabilities, it is very round and trsdfini by adding active yet DEFINITIONS, of slamming, roundness, in short the choice!

  Sounds

  I play the sixties, so low idalie issue for me and her look! Eden uses a 2x10 with a compressor, I find it really sounds and rglages hell. I set up nets made vintage dishes for his round and prcis, I love it!
  
  In addition to this low was a terrible potato!

  Overall Opinion

  I've had two months and frankly I do not regret the purchase. Complment uses the double bass is the vehicle I was waiting for my IDAL Rickenbaker!
  
  The price is reasonable for a low quality of the sound and aesthetic. A BMOL, no flight comes with the store .. one starts with a box ..
  
  choice I would do without hsiter, yet it's been awhile since I had not fallen for a lctrique!
