Fender Jazz Bass Special 4-string passive
Basically: A round of Jazz Bass and Precision body (no pickguard)
Made in Japan
White finish nacrbr /> 20 frets / A micro PB / A micro JB
Easel that I describe as "vintage but cheap", a piece of tle fold and screws ... But hey it works (except when I'm hanging above the palm, is the least funny ...)
A micro volume, a toggle, a knob of Tone original and effective (he has a middle Crant and the opening of the cavity dedicates the electronics, is found to have two rsistives tracks: It's not a tone but a circuit that I think is called patent by Fender TBX)
This bass seems lgre, but as my No1 low PSE a tonne, this opinion may be false ...

UTILIZATION

Channel: Typical of the Jazz Bass, so enjoyable to me. Impeccable correctness, relatively low action.
This bass is trs sound "unplugged", it allows me to work out plans without all the stuff (although it's not the reason why I bought it!)
Access in Acute: Yes, it is good, but there are only 21 boxes, so it's not hard ... I would have AIM 3 more boxes.
Weight MODR it looks a bit too to head elsewhere (not one, but I appreciate the small default)
Sound: The original pickups seemed pretty average against the violin, I replaced them with joy by Seymour Duncan.

SOUNDS

Much better with new pickups!
Otherwise, I am a fan of the configuration "JB + PB" which allows for both attacks mdiator frank and serious fine.

OVERALL OPINION

I bought this bass for one reason: It is the one used by Duff Mc Kagan, ex-Gun's N Roses and current Velvet Revolver. I am crazy about his sound, so with the same low, approaching me j'esprais (IDE classic admirer beginners ...)
My attitude has been volumes, but this bass has for her comfort and a games lgret particulirement compatible with a set of nergique scne.
This is my low back on scne, and my bass work "unplugged" home.
So I do not regret my choice!
