myzen « Great bass for the money »
Published on 12/08/12 at 08:15This is a great bass for the money. Made in Mexico. The electronics are quiet and clear. The P/J pups are a great way to go. The controls for the active pups offer a great range of sound. I upgraded the bridge to a bad ass bridge to offer out standing sustain. I also had to upgrade the bad gold pic guard. The combo of a jazz bass neck and the precision is the best of both worlds. I have an American Fender Deluxe Bass as well that cost 3 times as much and I play the Mexican bass more.
UTILIZATION
Easy bass to play. It sounded great before I had it set up. The sound is crazy great very crisp and sharp on the high end and powerful low end. This is a very light weight bass. It is much lighter and smaller than my American deluxe or Arodine bass.
SOUNDS
I use the Fender Rumble 350 and 150 as a kite. This bass is great for sharp heavy rock sound. I keep the active gain up all the way for ease of play and a crisp sound.
OVERALL OPINION
I love the weight and look most. The price is very reasonable. I have payed much more for less. I have a few fender basses and this is one of my favorites.
