    i have been playing bass for about a year or more now and play in a garage band.Its my third bass guitar. my musical tastes are Metallica, megadeth, slayer, rage against the machine, pantera, van halen, slipknot, ac/cd , alice in chains, foo fighters, iron maiden, soundgarden, black sabbath, sum 41, system of a down, audioslave, u2 , stone sour, mastodon, trivium, rebel meets rebel.

    i like the playability of this bass,its real easy to play notes fast on and to play slap bass on. Also the sound and its look and its really good for playing rock and metal and funk.I also like the maple neck.

    what i dont like is the weight of it. thats it

    i think this bass was well built will good material and was definitely worth the price.

    i recommend this bass to anyone who wants reliabiltity and good sound quality from their bass.

    Bought used in 2002 with hardshell case for $300. made in Mexico.

    Love the neck and you can really move with this bass

    Bridge was pretty weak. Replaced with a badass II bridge. Made a huge difference. Pickups are pretty weak too.

    Descent for amount paid. Not top of the line but holds up well.

    Perfect bass for anyone without a huge cash flow. For a professional player you would definetly want to upgrade everything possible, (pickups, bridge, etc.)

    PURCHSED IN ATHENS GREECE AT 350 EUROS THIS BASS WAS THE BEST POSSIBLE SOLUTION AT THIS LEVEL OF PRICE. THE REASON THAT I BOUGHT IT WAS THAT I LIKE DTHE FEELING OF TEH FRETBOARD OF A JAZZ BASS

    THE FEELING IS VERY GOOD IN TERMS OF EASY PLAYING.
    ALDER BODY AND MAPLE NECK ARE OK SELECTIONS.

    THE FEELING IS VERY GOOD IN TERMS OF EASY PLAYING BUT THE SOUND WAS A BIT "DRY".
    THE QUALITY OF THE BRIDGE CAN BE ACCEPTABLE BUT ONLY FOR A FEW MONTHS.
    THE PICTURE WAS CLEAR : BOTH PICKUPS AND BRIDGE WOULD SOON NEED TO BE UPGRADED.

    ANOTHER DRAWBACK WAS THAT THE NECK SUFFERED A LOT FROM CONCAVE ESPECIALLY ON THE NECK JOINT. FRETS NEED TO BE RUBBED TO AVOID BUZZING. I DO NOT KNOW IF A DOUBLE TRUSS ROD…

    GOOD QUALITY BUILT BUT THE NEW SET OF FENDER USA JAZZ BASS 62 PICKUPS ADDED VOLUME ATTACK AND BETTER TONE.
    AS I SAID BEFORE BRIDGE WAS POOR. SO THE BADASS II BRIDGE MADE THE BASS SOUND MORE PUNCHY.

    IN GENERAL THIS BASS AFTER THE UPGRADE SOUNDS LIKE A 90% ORIGINAL USA FENDER JB.

    IT IS ALSO A GOOD ALL AROUND SOLUTION FOR MANY MUSIC STYLES.

    I bought my Fender Standard Jazz Bass at Morrell's Music in my hometown. I got it for about $420 with the sunburst finish.

    I love the tonal options and the playability of the Jazz Bass. This bass is my first bass, but I played my friend's Ibanez for a while before I got the Jazz Bass. I prefer the Fender a lot more than the Ibanez. I play funk, rock, and metal and the Jazz Bass fills all genres.

    Really the only dislike that I have is the weight. Jazz Bass can get quite heavy.

    This bass is beautifully constructed and is very reliable. I've hit my bass pretty hard and had no problems at all. The quality is great; I paid $420 and its worth every pennie.

    The Fender Jazz Bass is probably one of the best basses out there, and I would recomend it to anyone who is looking for a new bass and even those who are looking for a first bass.

    I PAID $365.00 BRAND NEW OFF THE RACK (GEORGE'S MUSIC). THE NECK IS AWSOME VERY STRIAGHT. SOME OF THE AMERICAN FENDERS HAD WARPPED AND TWISTED NECKS. I GUESS FROM HANGING THERE SO LONG BECAUSE THEY ARE SO EXPENSIVE.

    I LOVE THE PLAYABILITY OF THIS BASS AND THE TONE YOU CAN GET OUT OF IT. I REPLACED THE FACTORY PICKUPS WITH 60'S VINTAGE FENDER JAZZ PICKUPS AND MAN! THAT MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD! I ALSO PUT A CUSTOM PICK GUARD ON IT. NOW IT LOOKS AND SOUNDS LIKE A VINTAGE FENDER JAZZ BASS.

    THE ONLY THING I DON'T LIKE ABOUT THIS BASS IS THAT IS DOSEN'T SAY "MADE IN USA" ON IT.

    TYPICAL FENDER QUALITY. THE FINISH IS FLAWLESS. I HAVE BEEN PLAYING IT FOR MORE THAN A YEAR AND STILL DO HAVE A SCRATCH ON IT. VERY DURABLE!

    BOTTOM LINE. MEXICAN FENDER BASSES ARE ALMOST AS GOOD AS THE AMERICAN FENDERS. EXCEPT FOR THE PICKUPS! BUT LETS FACE IT- NOTHING IS BETTER THAN AMERICAN MADE!

    I bought my second fender bass at guitar center in La Mesa (San Diego) for exactly $408.00.
    I bought this bass because I was looking for a very slim and fast neck, and well, the fender J-bass was it.

    The jazz bass is a pretty awesome soundig bass, it's very versatile(considering the pickups passive),playing from slap/pop jazzy style to very hard rock.
    The slap/pop sound is why this bass was made for I think, cause the sound is stellar;and this really helped me mix some hard rock with the sassy sound of jazz;well thats sonicly.The neck is beyond fast!is ultra slim (wich I love) and the frets are the perfect size.

    What I didn't like about this bass is that the hardware is in fact "standard", very "standard". I'm thinking about buying new tuners and a sweet vintage style bridge that fender makes. And that's all I think.

    The construction is pretty simple, without being boring, the paint is amazing(brown sunburst).Everything is smooth and straight and I have no complaints from the finish.

    Overall it's a very awesome bass, with the most versatile electronics, beatiful and simple construction and a not to bad price.
    BUY IT!

    Fender Standard Jazz Bass [2006-2008]Published on 12/07/02 at 15:00
    I was given this bass as a Christmas gift in 1990. As a teenager with a no-name little Japanese import bass, I sought something with a bit more style, class, and sound. FOr that - it did the job admirably!

    $300 (1990 dollars)

    Good sound - when I can get it! (See below) It's about as basic as basses get - which is a good thing. WIth normal amplification, you won't get Kenny-G style jazz-fusion/weather channel bass honk, (which a good thing!) but you get a very standard tone that can be used for most rock or country music. Slap-happy it isn;t.

WIth normal amplification, you won't get Kenny-G style jazz-fusion/weather channel bass honk, (which a good thing!) but you get a very standard tone that can be used for most rock or country music. Slap-happy it isn;t.

    Bridge pickup yields punch and edge that is good for cutting through heavier rock. . . the neck pickup (which I prefer) of course yields a bit of a mellower tone. They do hum a bit.

    I LOVE the neck shape! with moderate sized hands, it plays easily - not hard to play accurately and quickly. It's fairly easy to chord, once you get up around the third or fourth fret.

    Classic looks! With a black finish and white pickguard, you can play with any type of band and not look out of place.

    The pickups/wiring! I've had this thing for around 12 years. About 6 years ago, some of the wiring got loose - so it's fairly random as to whether the pickups will function. SInce I haven't been in a band lately not much of a problem. For $300, it's almost disposable!

    THe sound: yes - it's standard and fairly versatile. But I can;t get the booming, creamy 60's sound of, say, McCartney on "Rain" or Led Zep on "Ramble On." MOst of the blame for this, though, probably lies with the amp.

    Fret buzz!
    THe A string buzzed horribly when I first picked it out of the shop. THe techs replaced the nut and messed with the truss rod, which seemed to fix the problem, but it seems to recur depending on what strings I'm using.

    Bridge Buzz!
    Something in the bridge seems to vibrate against the rest of the bridge - highly irritating. Stuffing slips of paper in the gaps fixes the problem, but it's ugly as sin!

    - THe pickup wiring is shot - forgiveable after 12 years

    - THere's a small crack at the joint of the neck with the body. THis hasn;t produced any ill effects that I am aware of.

    - Tuners are fine!
    - Bridge is easy to set up and intonate but it buzzes.

    Overall finish is fine - it's earned the minor scratches over the years. THen again, I'm not a fan of pristine instruments - character is good!

    Not bad for an entry-level instrument!

    THe basis of a very good student bass is there: It will intonate well, have a good action, and sound good! Furthermore, the neck is a joy to play. Since most players will want to upgrade if they are serious anyway, this is an excellent value!

    THe major issues (for me) are the buzzing annoyances and the wiring.

    when i first got it the action was too high for my tastes but that doesnt acually matter because i just lowered it. there is a little bit of fret buzz if the strings are too low though so i had to mess with it alot to get them as low as possible without fretbuzz. also i would have prefered a neck-through or a sculped heel because i do this one solo where i have to play on the 19th fret( we cover rancid- maxwell murders)and its almost impossible to reach.

    well the stuff that i mentioned above could be put under this. i have no complaints about the construction ive only had it a month but i feels solid. my old squier was really neck heavy i like how the fender is more body heavy. since it is made in mexico the quality may be a little spotty. some j-basses may be better than others.

    with what some of the other reviews said i would recomend trying it out first because some reviewers said that it humed so i would think that the quality varies a little bit. i wouldnt ever order this bass online. this is a great bass i love it.

    Purchased at Guitar Center used for $125.00 and it was a steal. (neck was way out, but a tweak adjustment fixed that).

    Used as a backup bass.


    Growing up in the 60's I always wanted a Fender Bass, but like most of us I didn't have the money. I settled on medicore imports. Well times have changed and I have a real 5 string American Jazz bass, but wanted a reasonably priced 4 string backup. I picked this Mexican Jazz bass and feel it has all the vibe, feel, and playbility of its American cousin. If you are starting out you can't go wrong with one of these. BTW, I made some personal modifications such as setting up the strings through the body and dressing the frets.

    I like it all just fine

    It is a well made product for someone that has a budget.

    If you were blindfolded and played it you wouldn't tell the difference. I know I had friends play it and comment on its sound.

    Fender Standard Jazz Bass [2006-2008]Published on 12/06/01 at 15:00
    I bought this relatively new Lake Placid Blue Fender Jazz Bass (made in Mexico) on Ebay for about $275. I bought a Jazz Bass because I am a Fender fan, and I wanted the tonal variety this axe provides.

    The body is solid and heavy, which gives this bass great sustain. The neck is quick and easy to play.

    I had to put about $100 of work into it after I bought it (took it to Mike Lull in Bellevue WA, an absolute master in bass and guitar construction and set-up). I had the neck straightened, action lowered, pots replaced. Once I did this, it played like a dream.

The factory pick-ups (two single-coil) buzz somewhat, which is annoying, but when you're playing you don't hear it. And the factory set-up stunk, hence the need for Mike Lull. But after all that, I'm very happy with this bass.

    Good construction...like I said, poor set-up.

    Overall, for about $375, I now have a great looking, great playing bass. If you are looking for great tonal variety and you don't mind putting a little work (read: $$) into your purchase, you won't be disappointed by this classic.

    UTILIZATION

    The handle is nice, access to acute is easy, it is an instrument balanced against the microphones sometimes buzzent a bit and it's painful when trying to save ... In fact I bought this bass for my models, and for that I am the guitarist she is perfectly fine. The sound is a little confusing to me, but again, it happens to suit me because it is not my first instrument. on the other hand nothing to do with a really good Fender Jazz Bass families, here we are rather on the low end.

    SOUNDS

    Yes, well see above is quite correct, for my last use. The bass is mostly connected to my table so I too can not enlighten you on its sound on a pure bass amp ...

    OVERALL OPINION

    I do not know that bass player is, but maybe it's a pretty serious instrument for the price, I tried a Squier Precision Bass, which was far below, and who had no such reinforcement handle. This bass is not expensive and should in my opinion for beginners and multi-instrumentalist who need a low to expensive for their models. I acquired this bass again if it was a remake.

    Easy Access in acute, ergonomics ... excellent ... j'arrte compliments? will, it is a bit heavy for my shoulders frles, but the sound has a price! I am certainly PRTA pay!
    And we get a good sound easy: just a background sound that kills Jazz Bass, prcis supported.

    SOUNDS

    Sounds easy to obtain: we play with the volume of two microphones, the "tone", the amplifier and equalizer hop sound that fits the song! Uh yes it is quite suitable to my style of music, know as much as reggae or ska chanson francaise, so all is well. Amp: Hartke A70 or TKO115 Peavey was a fat as prcis, overuse of the "tone"!

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for a month now (newbie!), I like it for its color (hihi), its unique sound but universal, I tried the low-end but never above the level when compared you understand ... but I am happy with my purchase trs, compared qualitprix unbeatable (511 th in *****...). The exprience and future trials of other models can be change that opinion, but until I rgale, and look forward to my first concerts with her in short time)!

Let's be clear, ct is seen finishing a ten coats of varnish have t passes not fawn trs professional, but at nothing to n'elve sound quality of the machine! The sustain is good trs. In short, if you close your eyes and what we INTERESTED most is the sound of music ... I think a consideration not? and although in this case I forget all these dtails not glorious ... Rglage trs bridge + neck sound basic but effective.

    SOUNDS

    So this ct .. In dpart I left the microphones mxicains standards. You could hear the specter of a jazz bass but not quite c'tait a.. So I opt for Dimarzio DP123, and I do not regret at all, but even so I'm glad everything is! The bass sounds great as a result, TRS mdiums beautiful, well balance with acute that are slamming the limit, not quite. And the beautiful part, with this low, now is the serious frquences "growl", which grumble a bit, I love it! I get sounds warm, soft type blues, or anything more delightful to slamming funk and slap. But above everything I love about this bass is the trs beautiful captivating rponse of mdiums that really feel like live sound. I play the jazz bass changes (chang original easel against a Hipshot A plastic nut replaced by brass, DiMarzio, potentiomtres 1K) Eden Nemesis N12S on a Boss GEB-7, rings!
    O Great for the price I had was that 300 euros ... gniale!

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use this bass for the past 1 year and a half. For now I have no intention whatsoever of me Sparer! Really love the spectrum of mdiums and sustain on this bass! Prior to this I used a low RBX760A Yamaha, which sounded great for the mid-range, but not as good as this bass. In the same Manir I jou on Samick bass, not really dynamic. And I won! Report qualitprix great because I bought it in time ... I would say against the other as if they were not buying it brand new at around 700 euros ... I will judge the relative quality Price plutt way as to get the beautiful sound I have today, yet I would have had to change back my dpenser + bridge pickups (which say it is bad plutt) + mcaniques that do not take much note nut + + potentiomtres.

    Classic looks and tone!

    Fender Standard Jazz Bass [2006-2008]Published on 08/07/11 at 10:23
    I'm a guitar player, and I noodle on the bass from time to time. I've always loved the classic look of the Fender Jazz Bass, and because of the thick strings, basses are more often than not, inherently resonant. I thought I'd give one of these basses a shot, and it suits my needs just fine.

    My bass has an alder body, comfortable C neck, and maple neck and board, with 2 vol knobs, one tone, 20 frets, a hardtail bridge, and 2 pickups.

    UTILIZATION

    My bass is very heavy compared to other Jazz basses, and I think this contributes to the tone in a positive way. The knobs feel a touch loose, other than that, this bass feels very solid and well put together. The neck is comfortable, a…

    UTILIZATION

    My bass is very heavy compared to other Jazz basses, and I think this contributes to the tone in a positive way. The knobs feel a touch loose, other than that, this bass feels very solid and well put together. The neck is comfortable, and it's not too thick, which is a pet peeve of mine with guitar necks.

    SOUNDS

    I'm not a flashy bass player by any means, and I tend to go for a very punchy, aggressive bass tone ala Doug Pinnick and Glenn Hughes. This bass delivers in spades for that, and the weight of it gives my tone mass. It definitely can move some air! The neck pickup can get muddy VERY easily on a bass, but I find that it is pretty clear when I EQ my bridge to get my ideal tone.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I would definitely recommend this bass for the price, as it's a nice mid priced bass with all the features you need to play. Since buying my bass, I've played others in it's price range that felt better, and even more solid, but unfortunately they didn't have the look of a Jazz bass, and although tone is very important to me, I like the traditional aesthetic of my bass.

    I see no reason not to 10/10 on this point ... So 10 ^ ^

    SOUNDS

    My main style is pop / rock, but sometimes I play songs more funky or downright hard!
    And so good, the reglagles can get what you want.
    A round, warm sound and slamming metal really is a very versatile bass while remaining typed. It has a character that is probably due to its solid appearance, but it hides a lady who know how to reach ...
    Finger sound is very good, it's downright slap in the foot ...
    I use a 20W Ibanez at home (neighbor forces) or by repeating kickback15 Hartke 120W. Sometimes it goes through my multi effects pedal, but I must admit that the best sound is produced nature, without artifice or effects!

    Despite the fact they know to be versatile, I think it deserves 10.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use a full-time for 2 months and I'm delighted.
    It is not my first bass and it's an understatement to say that I am a very hard choice before you buy. I tested over a low 10aine before this one (in price ranges from 200 to 1000 €) and is one that caught my attention the most with its warm sound.

    The value for money is very good and although purists will say that Mexico will never equal one U.S. why pay three times as much for a bass that does not sound three times better;)
    With the experience I would definitely remake that choice, unless you have a € 1000 over a slam and I'm still not certain that U.S. would have fulfilled my expectations ... I think it would be better to buy a second bass in a complementary register (as a modern bass warwick or ibanez)
    Nothing is ever perfect I refuse to put a note in 10/10 but given the overall good instrument that I'm pretty unhappy about not having to "only" 9 ...
