All user reviews for the Fender Deluxe Jaguar Bass

See data sheet or Fender site.
Personally, no complaints. except that I changed the bridge (I have a badass II). I put 9 / 10.

UTILIZATION

The neck is incredible. Super nice. fine. I play better now that I have this bass! A real boulevard. The varnish on the handle is great and very enjoyable.
Some say the bass leans toward the head. it does not hit me.
I come from an Ibanez SR 400. Nothing to do!

SOUNDS

This bass has the sound I was looking for. The preamp provides a range of sounds quite varied. Coupled with a good amp, the bass is remarkable.

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?
2 months
- What is so special that you like best?
the look, sound, everything!
- The least?
? the bridge, I changed ...
- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
Jazz bass, Precision Bass, Ibanez BTB, Yamaha.
- How would you rate the quality / price?
Nickel. it's worth € 1000. Compared to a mex jazz bass, for example.
- With experience, you do again this choice? ...
Without hesitation. This bass is a jewel!

Japan.Touche beautiful rosewood. Repre trapzodaux superb.
Jaguar trs original form, I love. Red head, was awkward at beginners, you get used to APRS.
Config Jazz Bass pickups + switches & SERIES / parallle.
Prampli. I actually had a problem with it, it hurt silent cal (log under the pick guard) which produced moving CSWS! incontrls. I Remde bp in the wedging with foam. Since then, over problem.

UTILIZATION

Channel trs trs enjoyable, you feel super comfortable with it. Trs good ergonomics. It was fun to play with, and we do not struggle to play.
Head that tends to fall a little. (It is not a Les Paul), we must come to find its balance. That said, nothing dramatic.
Knobs to turn a little too easy (as in other JB). A detent or brake would apprci.
The mcaniques are great.

SOUNDS

On this point, lack of experience because I had tried a few basses, and not having the vocabulary of the bass player. I have a Young Chang and Lag Rockline, which are both types of sound level trs.
My use is primarily Home Studio. I use a Boss DR-880 BAR pramp as 'pramp or' an old Hohner bass amp. I am considering a SansAmp Toper it to improve further the quality of sound.
I've had three weeks, and I must say it complte trs well the other 2 by offering me a large range of sounds including low trs Dfine deep and well, what do not offer me another. I have not had time to explore its full sonic potential. Including at slap, which seems to have made a good trs.

Update 06/08: try with a fuzz pedals + pramp activ adcoiffe!

OVERALL OPINION

I am glad trs, both in terms of playability, sound, as the Aesthetics that everlasting fate of Jazz Bass.
The red color is beautiful and beautifully contrasts with the pickguard (very) lgrement yellowed.
This is my Premire real low.

About the Report qualitprix, never a US test, I can not comment.

But it is certain that the noise level it goes much further than JB mex or highway, which I find a little "bland" and lacking in flavor and depth especially in the bass (which is a shame for a low). The pramp 'gives a real plus.

May be it is also the look that gives the characters so original that affects my cost and the vision I have?

Anyway, as regards the price, having bought OCCAZ at the cost of the Argus, I find it excellent.

I'm anyway happy with my purchase, and possder (finally) has a guitar sound, playing comfort and look. TOP!

Update 06/08: Still happy with my purchase. It is a pleasure to play with. She is beautiful and super enjoyable to play. I can spend hours looking!
J'espre acqurir to a SansAmp to amliorer further varieties of sounds and find sound a bit original. I thought he had a blue fender jack (California cable) that blends well with trs. What happiness!

- Japan
- 2 micros simple
- Vintage bridge
- 1 volume, 1 Tone 2 micro switches, one switch series / parallle, a switch active / passive tone and 2 for the asset
- Round end

UTILIZATION

- The handle is fine, trs trs enjoyable. is the reason for my purchase
- The jaguar is not well equilibrated: the head looks down. Standing with a strap but no worries on the fist lap right hand holds the bass (hurt)
- The sound is Fidler cad super brand, I use it as a liability with all the microphones were on his Fender Jazz Bass. I do not use the asset, to be sure we have a big sound, but you lose the dynamics of the sound palette.
8 / 10 because of the head that looks (the body of a jaguar with a guitar neck was so low can not be equilibrated

SOUNDS

- Rock, jazz
- I play on markbass and DI for concerts
- Fender Jazz Bass sound
- In the studio attention the jaguar roars and spits. I believe we must review the cblage microphones with shielded cable .... on a low 800 and "brand" ... it's a shame. but good for 20 of cable and patience
- Even when it was on its fender
- 8 / 10 because of background noise

OVERALL OPINION

- 4 months bought 800 New Pre-Owned (she was a lightweight in the back poc mishandling of the store so I ngocier as an opportunity)
- To +: the sound, the neck, mouth (and yes even when)
- The -: evil equilibrated cblage
- I jou on: musicman, Honing, fender, yam ... but not at the same time
- I love it

- Manufacturing Japan
- 20 frets, two jazz bass pickups
- Basic rack
- Portard a volume, a different key to switch three micro chosiir macnhe or easel and a third to put them in series / parallel
- Above a small button to switch to active with two dial to settings (not very sensitive settings)
- The pleasant mache

UTILIZATION

- Since I had a disease I have to pay attention to amcnhe otherwise I can not play long ... for once I never thought to buy a fender heavy macnhes that were great big ... BEN NOT as previously said "a autoriute" the handle
- Access to the Augustinian tip top
- Ergonomics not top the b ^ te dangeuresement looking (but for me it's a detail)
- You get SOUND Fender Jazz Bass, with a great look!!

SOUNDS

I play a lot of progressive rock, metal and so the jaguar conveint very well to my style of music
I play with an ampeg BA 110
I get all the sounds I want (but fender tjs)
I love all the sounds (although the settings when you are active does not offer many opportunities to quote another amatauer is the on / off

OVERALL OPINION

I did not long ago (November 2008: thank you papa noel)
I like the look, sound. What I like least is that the sound of the E string is much stronger than the other three strings
I tried a gibson moneywalker, frome a gibson Les Paul, a Fender Jazz Bass higway one ....
I think for the price the pickups could be mlieux set (it should change the pickups for this so balanced??)

On the experience left me time to make me an opinion still further and I will say again .... ca

Japanese-made, good finish, no problem.
Manche Jazz Bass Rosewood, broad, pleasant, he was well in hand. 20 Frets
Motorsports Fender, it's beefy ...
Fender Standard bridge, a bit light for my taste, it tends more towards the folded sheet ...
2 Jazz Bass pickups.
A switch by a third micro switch + serial / parallel, I do not understand the principle, but the sound is better with =)
A switch active / passive with 2 adjustment knobs.
9 for the bridge a bit disappointing on a bass of this bill ...

UTILIZATION

Channel super nice, no problems for the treble.
The beast is out of balance, she leans her head, playing standing, it must "hold", it's tiring in the long run ...
She still weighs his weight, Fender ...
For the game seated, the horn flares, it's slippery, and there also must be taken not to let her go, but it is widely supported, and we get something for nothing: the look is hell ...
The settings are fairly intuitive, and the bass is super versatile ...
8 for the imbalance

SOUNDS

I play 70's 80's rock and blues rock, the sound should be perfectly ...
I hesitated with Precision, I do not regret my choice. I can completely change her, without touching the amp ...
With the bridge pickup tone open, it has a sound pastoriusien full of medium defined ...
In neck pickup tone open, the sound tends toward the jazzy bass ... We close the tone and the sound is much more rounded, warm, sometimes too well, there is a lack of précsision is a bit messy ...
Personally, my sound is found: the two microphones and the little magic switch is closed a little tone, we have a full, warm, rich as to overload the amp, set with sharp passing and serious which are all farting!
For slap it supports, it can even be enjoyable, but one does better.
I play without effects, without any special settings on the amp, Fender is the sound ...
Out of habit I do not play in liabilities, assets, the two wheels are pretty useless, it's on / off.
9 for the active

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a year, I tried Precision, the Jazz Bass, Fender sound I wanted, I am served.
That style Jazz Bass and more complete, versatile, original ... And what a look!
It is worth its price, at the height of some American, to which it need not be ashamed ...
For me, used to 600 euros is a great deal, I would do without hesitation that choice, even to pay a high price ...

see previous post




UTILIZATION

The handle is it nice?
Very nice but is very sensitive to changes in temperature and humidity below 10 ° C strings verging on empty and the first 3 frets on all strings ?!?!? I recommend a steak in an igloo

Access to acute (last string) Is it easy?
without problems

Ergonomics is it good (in terms of shape, weight ...)?
For my part I find balanced

Do you get a good sound easy? ...
Yes it is fairly intuitive level settings

SOUNDS

Are they suitable for your style of music?
Given that one can obtain a wide range of sounds I use on many projects without any problem, but the sound is more pop rock typed.

With what (s) amplifier (s) or effect (s) do you play?
I play on an amp brand SECO 12 inch speaker, do not worry the sound is clear, no buzz on my own, contrary to what was written (thank you Baby Jesus I'm lucky).

What kind of sound you get and with what settings ("crystalline", "fat ",....)?
What are the sounds you prefer, you hate?

OVERALL OPINION

For how long have you been using it?
I've had it for 2 years now and I am very happy

What thing do you like most/least about it?
On mine the battery is not as neat as the rest of the guitar, which is reflected in the facts of pops inappropriate when touching the battery cover, very unpleasant ent!

Did you try many other models before getting this one?
I hesitated some time with a

What is your opinion about the value for the price?
good but no longer is a quality instrument so it has a price

Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice? ...
yes absolutely

The Fender Jaguar Bass is an electric bass guitar that has two single coil pick ups and a variety of setting controls.  The guitar comes in a few different versions, but the one that I have used was made in Japan.  This guitar takes the basic make up of the Jaguar guitar and applies it to the bass, offering up the ability to change the tone of the bass sound in a lot of different ways.  The neck is made out of maple and has an overall great feel to it.

UTILIZATION

The configuration of the Fender Jaguar Bass is a bit more complex than most electric basses, but it is worth it to learn what everything does as all of the tone control settings can really be helpful.  The bass has knobs for overall volume and tone, and also has a series of pick up switches and sliders to control your tone in a variety of ways.  The weight is average for a Fender bass guitar and the feel is perfect as it is easy to follow all up and down the neck.  Getting a good sound isn't hard at all as this is a versatile bass that is capable of getting tone for a variety of different genres. 


SOUNDS

The tones possible with the Fender Jaguar Bass are versatile and are overall great sounding.  I find it easy to get all sorts of different tones with this bass and for this reason I love using it in the studio.  It makes it easy to switch from one type of tone to another without having to switch a bass or something else manipulating the sound.  I have only used the bass for recording and generally use both an amp and a direct input box when trying to get a sound down, as this gives me options when I go to mix down.  Although I haven't used it for any live shows, I can tell that this would also be a great bass for this application since it is so easy and quick to change tones.


OVERALL OPINION

I've used the Fender Jaguar Bass for about a year for recording and have to say that it is one of my favorite basses to record with because of its elite sound quality and versatility in terms of tone.  The price is about right for a top tier bass, but is still aimed at those looking for a top notch bass as this isn't cheap.  If you want a very cool looking and sounding electric bass guitar, definitely consider the Fender Jaguar Bass.
