UTILIZATION

The handle is a rgal thanks in varnish satinbr /> Access in acute possdant is good but a bass luthier in the top of this, I would say it is perfectible
Ergonomics is plutt good, it does not sting the nose, but it tends to drag the thigh in a sitting position because of the varnish if you wear a jean nine such
For sound, it's a jazz bass ... ie: you connect and sounds no matter what.

SOUNDS

Apart from the sounds of double bass and fretless, it can do everything, hh ...
I tested it by running, outdoors on an Ampeg 15 "Portaflex in rpeter on various amps, live sound with a DI EBS, etc ... Nothing wrong.
Sounds obtained as we suspect, will Jaco Marcus and everything in between ...

Obviously, we can always do more, and there will be sounds that we can not have (musicman, Rickenbaker, etc ...) but it's not a bad bass dj do it all ...

OVERALL OPINION

I for a month in low replacement for a mini-run and it does its job properly.
I love her and you plug ct rings and satin varnish the handle!
I tried a bunch of basses, some much better, some not so good ...
The quality-price ratio honnte but no more, especially since brands like Cort offer MODELS worthy of high prices indcents violin ...

The good:
+ Handle satinbr /> + two microphones "silent" duo and comfortable in almost any style
The minimalist electronic + (part of precision, it is hardly easy) SONC no battery in the lower prvoir as active on a branch and sounds: P
+ Form, indmodable!
Ngatifs points:
- Screws mcaniques n'taient not all tight purchase
- RULES silent action too high for games that require a bit of Dextre (Młoda fast gaming agreements, etc ...)
- Mine is a MODEL, but left the bridge rgl silent for a right-handed (factory I think). Rsultat: all the notes sounded hollow on the strings R and del Sol in the 12th box. Just reverse the rglage the bridges but it is not a novice forcment empty and for that price, I find a limit. Fender tend to be complacent I think ...
- No strap (same basis) provided
- I had 2 or 3 cr composed of low and another 24 cases for ncessitaient THEME mlodiques but can not reproduce on it, I feel for once really the 'strait with these 20 cases (but hey you know when you buy so it's not really a point ngatif, and then our job is primarily to ensure the grves, right? Although ...)
- 2 volume knobs, so have to buy a volume pedals to grate on the sound scne for bland, so the more weight in the bag A test: 1 volume, 1 balance, a tone, knowing that you will not max level microphones with a balance in the center ...
- The Tone knob of work I find funny ... It does Ragit only 10% of the last race ... Rsultat there are only two sounds: bright or tuft, but nothing in between.
- The bridge base has no slots for bridges that do not make stable trs (some have had bad exprience to see them go back a little too hard slapper, if I remember correctly !)
- The string of R and G are clearly DCAL compared to plots of microphones, which affects lgrement on sound and can not be changed unless you change to an adjustable easel spacing of the strings in ...
- As we suspect may be, if we decrease the volume of one of two microphones (even slightly), they capture the surrounding noise, which is very stringent and limits the possibilities sound recording or even some scnes as insulation. For this reason, I recommend changing the pickups for noiseless. on the other hand, when two pickups are loud, they are a "silence" absolute
- No thumb rest between the two microphones, which is a bit dstabilisant potentially disabling when just MODELS ncessitant diffrent positions (I think we can get them-this words)
- A lightweight wolf-tone (a note that appears much stronger than others and that is close to a feedback but in grves) to the 12th fret on the E string, but like lots of bass finally

Here I think I have not forgotten ... At worst, I will make an edit!

And remember: "A groove juice a day Keeps the doctor away"

Mexico jazz bass artic white color upgrade
The bridge is of very poor quality, it goes wrong all the time, and the strings are offset relative to the microphones go !!!!!
The pickups are not bad, you get a little cool.
The electronics are also of poor quality. There are important pests when using microphones one by one.
The knobs are bad, the volume can be adjusted as lorqui one has turned the knob to 350 degrees. So no intermediary between high volume / low.
It's a jazz bass neck, it is really exeptionel (although the base I do not like the sleeves end, but it goes really well, thanks to its rounded)

UTILIZATION

Handle very good.
Acute attack nickel
Perfect shape
Its not bad

SOUNDS

I play a Fender amp
its very versatile, which is not bad.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 1 year.
I love the handle, which is really SA Special features.
This is the only bass that I tried before buying
Too expensive for many important faultless it has!
I will not repeat the Mexican election, but why not in USA.

Known feature, see site for selling all that!

UTILIZATION

Channel super agreeable, quite fine. She weighs her weight but this is not a problem unless you play 5 hours straight ...
Access to the fever is very good, nothing to say.
Its level, a small micro customage is welcome, but basically it sounds not bad. By adding a Fender U.S. kit, it sounds serious, nothing to say.

SOUNDS

All positions are exploitable, depending on the style desired. I play as much as Slap with two microphones thoroughly, if not to pick on the mic only serious, it sounds good rock! Not only made for the Jazz this small!
I also have a Active Jazz Bass Mex, obviously there is even better, we can sculpt the sound etc. ... But it's a bit more expensive!

OVERALL OPINION

After 3 / 4 years of using nothing wrong. She did not move (yet happy) and she always does well it should. Frankly nothing to say about the appearance Mexico. It is not on it as well as a large U.S., but frankly the U.S. are low paid I find expensive (you pay the brand name "Fender U.S.", whatever may be said ...). The quality / price ratio is 10 times better vraimant with mex (I said that I also have a Stratocaster and Telecaster, always Mex), there's nothing else to add!
If you have big bucks, do not take the U.S. (either Fender or Gibson or other) - Go to a luthier! You'll better for the same price or even (good) quality than the U.S. cheaper! If like me you do not want to ruin a single instrument (after improving quit at the micro level and acastillages ... etc) Buy the Mex!! I do it again 10 times this choice!

UTILIZATION

Seems like a very well built instrument but it's hard to tell because this bass received rather abused by the previous owner. Despite being treated badly everything worked correctly and was quite easy to intonate. The neck is a nice example of a slim jazz bass neck profile. It's easy to play for prolonged periods of time without hand fatigue building up in the fretting hand. This is the heaviest of my basses and I find it can make my shoulder to ache after an hour or so of playing using an average thickness un-padded strap.



SOUNDS

I use this with my Ashdown MAG-300 combo amplifier and find it hard to make this bass to sound bad. This bass has a great punchy sound with that wonderful mid-heavy grind that I love from jazz basses. I use this bass predominantly in a Ska-punk band and it fits in perfectly, it cuts through the mix without being to in your face. The main problem sound wise with the bass is the amount of noise produced by the pick-ups which is a common problem but it doesn't provide me enough problem with my rig to warrant changing the pick-ups to aftermarket noiseless ones.



OVERALL OPINION

Overall I think this is a great bass, I got it for a very good deal in a trade for a Digitech Whammy 4 effects pedal due to the cosmetic damage to the body of the bass by the previous owner. I'd be happy to buy one of these new though for the asking price they're quality instruments although I can't see myself buying a new bass for a while.

My favorite thing is the sound of this bass, it's perfect for the style of music I play. My main problems with this bass are all aesthetic based and most of which caused by the previous owner one thing that could be improved is an upgrade to noiseless pick-ups.

Fender's Mexican JazzBass (Standard Series) is an electric bass guitar that I've got experience using in the recording studio and for practicing. The bass player that I'm currently playing with has one of these, so I play it a lot and have recorded it a number of times. Don't let the Mexican implications fool you, as this is a great instrument. The bass has two single coil, bi-pole pick ups, with standard tone and volume knobs. I don't know what kinds of materials this bass is made out of...

UTILIZATION

Playing the Fender Mexican Jazz Bass is really easy, as it's got a really slim neck. It feels good on the fingers pretty consistently, and I've always found getting a good sound to be fairly simple as well. Even so, there are a good amount of differing tones you can get even just between the two pick ups. The bass is about average in terms of weight and size.

SOUNDS

The sound of the Fender Mexican Jazz Bass is round and full and is pretty much the ideal tone for a bass guitar, only being surpassed by a better built American Jazz Bass. For recording I'll usually take a direct signal as well as an amp'd sound, but it all starts with the bass. The last record that I did with the Fender Mexican Jazz Bass, I also used an American P Bass for some songs, and ended up like the Mexican Jazz Bass more. This could just be a preference thing between Jazz and P Basses, but it's still worth noting. I believe that Jazz Basses in general are the best available basses.

OVERALL OPINION

If you're a bass player on any level except for maybe a high end professional, the Fender Mexican Jazz Bass is a great bass to have. It's got a superb sound and excellent feel, and since it was made in Mexico, it has a really small price tag. Don't get me wrong, if you can afford an American Jazz Bass, you should absolutely spend the extra money as they are better basses, but if you can't afford one, the Mexican Jazz Bass is a very fine substitute. Coming from the masters in guitars in Fender, the Mexican Jazz Bass is probably the best bang for your buck that you'll find in a bass guitar....
