Born in 1960 the Jazz Bass, originally launched as the "Deluxe Model," has changed very little during his fifty years of existence.
When compared to its big sister the "Precision", this amounts to assimilate as a Jazz Bass and Precision F1 as a muscle car / We can say that the Jazz Bass is what can be a face of a Stratocaster Telecaster
my Jazz Bass is a USA model, Dated 1998 (N8. ..), which can be equated to current standards FENDER. al inverse ela photo above left, my beautiful wooded corp has a natural ash color with a white plate picture ... see Here we find a body in Ash, Alder, which is often nowadays. Question Weight (wood density) but the resonance remains substantially the same.
The handle "C" is maple and has 20 medium jumbo frets. The key is also in Maple. The Maple, brings a more "crystalline" in Slap, but the settings intervene effectively to find the roundness and depth desired. The varnish Nitrocellusosique affixed thereon in a thin layer is ideal for fast action and a total mastery of the instrument .... The two microphones "simple" incident to "JB", are simple and seem to be winding Vintage '75 Jazz Bass. Micro I am replaced by CREL JB 42 (see my review on these mics)
The bridge is adjustable to four bridges and the strings are through. The tuners are stamped with the logo FENDER SCHALLER. Settings, three in number, meet establishment JB, with a neck pickup volume, bridge volume and mic tone control coupled. All in full precision.
The fittings are chrome all styles can be considered a Jazz Bass Ave. She excels in Blues-Rock as well as in records sweeter or more "Hards".


UTILIZATION

The advantage of this bass, it is not "going anywhere". You hear it, it's life, we love and most importantly, it feels it. If the bass player's fingers are there to sustain it, the Jazz Bass is certainly what we have done better since 1960.
head stings a little nose at the game sitting .... but hey I have a jazz bass usa beautiful!
used for the game to the finger, no mediator, often in slap
the sound is pechu and sounds "serious"
with it no gas plant as the Series G & L and others active with 15 knobs.
the simplicity of play that allows the finger that it acquires a strong expressive playing finger on the handle so it's a highway. it is a perfect handle increasingly composed of a single piece of maple ... she has the soul of this JB.


SOUNDS

Everything thoroughly and Marcus Miller is playing, we lower the tone and it is the small Tal Wilkenfeld imitating sound Sadowsky (I say imitate), the acute single microphone and c is expressed Pastorius.
I shoot with these 3 different sounds and hearing I satisfied my requirements bassists ... Simple and effective, this JB satisfied purists like me minimalism!
passive use this JB has conferred the sound of his wood ash body know a low medium to generate and sustain, in the maple fretboard for a crystal clear, incisive and tender at once.
we would take even for Steve Harris (Iron Maiden bassist) so the handle of my JB issued a sound as warm and bright as he.
24/24 connected to my amp head to a 250 Markbass Little Ashdown 2x10 cabinet .. the choice of this firm 200w is not the most conducive for typed enough for my style of game I played primarily with the 'ACIDD jazz, jazz funk.



OVERALL OPINION

Before the acquisition of this wooded lady I played the bass ... now I start to tame it and I understand the philosophy that results. I technically evolved since 8 months of use.
I have changed the micro to give it a more modern and dynamic: CREL JB42.que I highly recommend .. / see my opinion on them.
