All user reviews for the Fender Classic '60s Jazz Bass

This bass is manufactured in Mexico, which explains prix.Elle are 20 boxes, like any self-respecting jazz bass.
The bridge is a classic that I changed for a badass bass II.

USE

It is a little heavier than the 60s jazz bass, the very agrable.Il handle may miss some serious with low amp.

SONORITS

The jazz bass in my opinion is made for all kinds of music she roundness in its sonority but also the attack.

NOTICE GLOBAL

I have this bass for almost two years now I turn with and in any situation is the height. it is a true marvel, both on the violin as the son.Elle well worth better than amricaine jazz bass at the time, and the difference in price absolutely justifie.Je speaks knowingly because I set the time to choose my bass.

MIM Fender Jazz bass classic 60's.
The 60's classic includes the standard characteristics of JB, only micro standads remplcs by vintage microphones different.
Some characteristics:
Channel maple, rosewood fingerboard 20 fret vintage JJ pickups, passive electro, volume knob handle / bridge + Tone

USE

very good balance, very pleasant handle, access to acute rather limited. Once the well rgl handle (which is rare on models Mexico from the factory), it is a joy. The bottom radius (stick bomb) really gives a set of comfort fingers. For slap, comfort is also low, but the radius prevents having an ultra-low action (unless you go at the luthier who ca rgle the hair for a euro 40ene. The bass in it same is robust, we feel that it resists all. The mechanical moving no 1mm.
In short it is really good cam.
I dconseil to buy Mex version via the websites because of the approximate rglage prod, it's a bit of a lottery. So either Cygnus through a good bass player who has rgl is 40/50 prvoir passage in the luthier.


SONORITS

Wahoui. One does. Slap slamming funk, reggae growwwwly, jazzy. This is the low-pass everywhere. no wonder that the greatest bass players will be directed to the JB-like, it's a joy. The bass is very deep (vacuum Mi is a rgale) the acute sound good without being criar. There's a bump (in volume) in the middle of the handle. It can be an advantage as a incinvnient. I like to play reggae on this handle part because we win one round. .dropoff Window Once again, intonation is parfouis jr rgl in sortyie factory for prod Southwestern. So I repeats, Cygnus is in a good bass player in a shop or 40/50 luthier.

NOTICE GLOBAL

It's been 6 years since I use it and I did it all live. It presents in almost all styles (I wrong in Mtal on the other hand). I tried many other bass in the JB-like style, none happens to the ankle. The one in the same range taken that could compete with it is the Cort GB74. .dropoff Window Qualitprix the report could not be p ^ comptitif read. The price is divided by a US l2 having all positive.

Made in Mexico. For CHARACTERISTICS see on the site fender. Bridge home of shit (I palm one of the screws of the bridge in concert ...). So change easel specifically recommended. For me, the classic "Badass II".
Rglages could not be more stupid. I took me a while to put the jazz bass. I am now a fan ... 7 for the bridge and for mcaniques vintage (they turn "upside down") to approximate rglage (I also have a music man and Noguera, this explains that. ..).

UTILIZATION

As the house. All dpend your desires and your needs ...

SOUNDS

It should all styles of music. Played on a EBS Drome 15 ". Passive, of course, but even in the slap, it can compete with many other active basses, same branches of 220 V. .. Trs trs good sound. My main bass ct of my stingray and my Noguera. Trs beautiful grave. Aigue slamming. mdiums Of if you want some. She snores well in the bass, sang in the treble, as j love it. I play jazz funk. It is perfect for a. ..

OVERALL OPINION

After a few "upgrades" that I mentioned is really the lowest I'm looking now for almost 15 years of practice. Also an advantage: you will not ruin you ... In my opinion much better than the new classic jazz bass made in United States. Trs versatile, its deep. I love it all ... the Try!

Price 900 euros. Made in Mexico, 20 frets "vintage", jazz bass pickups, I do not know where exactly, easel and a standard volume 2 tone, stick a little thinner than the models of modern and covered with a super gloss in jaunâtre.Touche rosewood, very fine. 3 tone sunburst finish (the only really beautiful Fender I think), the body not specified in a wood, alder I think. Plate tortoise. Some finish flaws serious enough for its price:
A junction body / sleeve has a set of at least 1 millimeter, it changes nothing in his grip and but it's not very neat about a beautiful instrument.

The two cavity microwave also has a keen game of a millimeter, which reveals the wiring (still somewhat neglected ...)

The junction of three pickguard and knobs of the plate is not clear.

These are the only critical issue Paske the rest is really perfect.

UTILIZATION

The handle, from my point of view, is really perfect: the first contact is very easy it can be done directly. The gloss is soft and does not bother to make a slip or other. Access to acute is specific to this type of instrument: not perfect but not bad either, and as the handle is ery end, no problem. It still weighs a lot, you can feel after a few hours, but you get used to. For the settings easy! 2 volumes and a tone not need to beat around the bush just the right sound live: a big sound very full, with crystalline highs, parfait.Je put 8 because I've already tried a J Bass Deluxe US (too expensive!) And a deluxe Mexico (Active). A flat, the pots are not of high quality and not always fixed a few turns of the key enough to fix it, is also a mass problrme I bientôt.Ca that such adjustments made two years that I have and I do not regret not this purchase

SOUNDS

I play mostly rock very rough and I think it was just that: simple but effective. To play vintage rock (hendrix stones Who) is really the ideal, and for the grooves to Pastorius. on the other hand to play slap stuff like Red Hot c is harder, but set the amp gives a good result. I play with a SWR LA 15 stroke that almost all the sounds I want. In rehearsal I play with a 160-watt laney hardcore that there is in the local, c amp is a fairly straight forward, but the couple hardcore jazz bass works really well. I think the mieu lice get a good sound is to combine the two microphones and adjust the tone depending on the desired. For dry grooves, micro acute than enough. Y really no sound that I find wrong with this bass

OVERALL OPINION

J loves rock, old and full of modern and other styles of zic (groove, funk) and I'm really happy with the sound, feeling and an inimitable class. She is really perfect, except for a few flaws mentioned above, which are not very serious. I'm starting to think about changing the pickups to improve this marvel. I recommend it to all rock fans who want something simple, solid, classy looking and the big sound!!

UTILIZATION

Handle end and pleasant access to acute is easy.
Weighing significant but not too heavy with a good strap, this bass is still perfectly balanced.

The two microphones defaults are correct, however I have changed after one year.

The bridge pickup offers an interesting medium that can recall the sound aesthetic of Jaco pastoruis, the two open mics offer a nice round but may appear rough at high volume.

You should check the grounding to avoid the "buzz of the release of string."

The volume knob is exponential, not far from its 0-80% and high-level rise between 80% and ... thoroughly.

SOUNDS

This instrument is perfect for me in environments also pure jazz and acid jazz, funk-rock variety. The sound remains very typical Jazz Bass, which will suit some and of course less in other ...

I play mainly on the head and amp David Eden 4x10 "SWR. I am very happy with this setup perfect multi-purpose.

OVERALL OPINION

I purchased this power in late 2005. I now well in hand and every day it remains a great pleasure to take several hours in the hands. It must nevertheless assume its look very Pastorius ... The little detail that always delights me, on my sunburst model, and the beautiful color of the head!

I do not know if this is the case in a series, but it is possible to remove the skid plate (no "trenches combatant" under the plate), which offers a vintage aesthetic perfectly suitable.

Good value for money, it seems (and hearing evidence) to have a quality instrument in the hands.

I do not regret at all the choice of this instrument.

Made in: Mexico The bridge: the original, this is a standard Fendérien ... But on mine, I have a Badass II. Nothing to say, it keeps the strings! The handle: Profile "C" on the very standard jazz bass vintage! I hear about it later ... 20 frets ... Varnish very very nice ... Who gives a look very nice! Mics: When I received the neck pickup was almost dead ... The former owner had omitted this detail !!... Anyway ... After replacing with new! Pwowoauuahhh ... ! Settings: Ben is a jazz bass! 3 buttons: one adjusts the microphone volume == serious side handle, the second adjusts the microphone volume == acute in the bridge position ... And the last rule tone (from low to high). Very simple ... The quintessence of the bass! The concept of "plug and play" ... One branch and Yaouhhh ... NB: With the amount of existing quality external preamp, I do not understand why people insist on buying low hyper active, wrapped with electronics, which become silent when the battery loose ... But hey!

UTILIZATION

Sleeve: a feast! Without doubt one of the best for this type of bass. Without wishing to exaggerate, it is very fast (but he leaves soon !!!). In fact, as research on t is a jazz bass? Slapper either, or make good grooves, or play good old rock? So those who want to do solo at top speed: either opt for a guitar ... Either you lean on Ibanez, and marmick consors ... A Jazz bass: the class ... A low quiet one who wants a beautiful sound by very nice pumps! It's not a bass to play tits "Mouse" ... I said, there are tools made for it in trade. Tjs so if you're there, so be aware that this bass will be very nice to make your plans for walking, pumps ... The handle is fine. It lends itself very comfortable in a game without getting tired! So the dream! of course, go solo or break without worry! This handle is super accurate! It lends itself unflinchingly plans syncopated ... For ergonomics: RAS! Good Job in the standards of weight and shape ... Oh yes, the look is very successful! It really looks like a low-60s: The mechanisms are the same, the logo is similar to the logos of epochs, etc. ... honestly ... it's pretty bleuffant Sound: At your convenience! Is very groovy, very smart, very rock ... Finally everything is possible if you know how to set a tone and 2 volumes! After as stated above, the rest will be from your preamp ... And with your fingers! Say that this bass supports all modern techniques and old bass. Nothing can stop you!

SOUNDS

Oh the sound! Well I'll make it simple ... It's a jazz bass sound all that is more "classic" ... Basically, you plug in and you fall 40 or 50 years ago: It growls, it slide, as it sends in the good years! You are transported in large periods of the good old motown or rock bands, just turning the amp! I would say yes for those who love it ... Least for those who want to play the modern! I love all the sounds, they are very flexible, despite the apparent simplicity! Well yes, the basic advantage when it is that is you go to carve it up! This is not the effects or electronics that help you ... So we can all play with the modern, good vintage reggae, funk-of-race ... That's low "Swiss Army Knife". You have a gig, a night ... You do not know too? Take your JB and then no worries! Everything will go ... Just kidding but not that much! Say it can cope with situations bcp. For example: Some sound very Yam midrange and treble. Try playing the blues with a yamaha! You will understand ... In reality this is a very low known, very common ... But who can do anything (aside from the sled, though ...). I play on it all: a 110 combo w / a head 130 W Made in US / splitters of PA / live in a multi-purpose / on the pc ... And each time I am surprised at the quality of what I get out! It's crazy! It is an architectural design known, and yet ... This is the "classic"! Disadvantage: This bass is quite demanding. Say that the imperfections of your game stand out. So it needs to be worked regularly. Indeed in this respect: it's bass work par excellence. Then rehearsals ... Ben concerts too! In concerts, I take it there and my P bass! The rest is useless ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for several weeks. It became a treat: After changing pickups (for info I provided the original Fender! Because they sounded nice, but the neck pickup was dead ...). Watching her, I tell myself: "Why do some buying U.S. ???". And it is unfortunately true ... Why spend twice as much, when you can have the same thing for half? Value for money: If it was not marked "Made in Mexico" on the back of the neck (below the mecha), I think I could have put the price of a Rican ... Seriously, good bassounette! Reliability remains to be seen in time ... Though?! Really violin exudes quality. The good agreement is badass ... The mechanism does not move ... The neck: a real treat! ... Sound: Jazz bass! So why put more money? By snobbery? To say: "I've got a U.S.! And do not you !!!"... In fact, I do not care cause my bass! As long as it pleases me, it sends a good big sound! Honestly ask yourself the right question if you are considering buying a U.S.: Do I want a standing or to have "the" sound? If you choose the second option, try this series "Classic" ...

UTILIZATION

Very easy to take in hand, the handle is fine and fast 'axis Deplus to EMT's easy.
configuration are numerous, and microwave each one a different personality.

SOUNDS

-Micro sleeve: his jazzy tone with a 0: round and warm with very little bass and midrange. with the tone between 5 and 10, that other thing is rock! almost precisely.

Micro-bridge: ron and aggression in any case, many low and medium EGU, slamming it and very accurate, Exel for the groove or rock, passes very well with a saturation, but it is quickly heated the amp if it is set incorrectly.

The two-mixed: for me this position is for the slap, the chattering without being aggressive, precise and warm, it's true I played on a h & k bk 300: énnorme! I have this low

OVERALL OPINION

depui now almost 2 years, she did not Decoi, but if I had the choice again, I would buy a clarification or if I win the lottery: a spider alemebic (8500 € new)

I played mostly rock and Psychedelik, its output level is too compressed, its saturated immediately when you push the gain. It's a shame, but notice the amateur, this low vau largely a U.S. cest just that she comes from mexico.
