The jazz bass "standard" is a jazz bass made by Fender in Mexico. Mexican manufacturing is for the midrange fender because of inferior wood, less efficient pickups and finish sometimes perfectible ... but in reality it depends on the models ... Some Mexican goods also equals the performance of their elders ... But back to the cot technique! this bass has 20 frets and has two "bars", the bridge is pretty mediocre, but it can not be changed for very cheap (15 euros), it has 3 knobs, one micro and one for the general tonality. The neck is typical JB, rather late (ideal for small mimine!). Finally, it is a passive low

UTILIZATION

I've never felt so at ease on a low ... the aesthetic is perfect for my taste (some criticize his classicism) and the handle runs directly on the fingers ... a real treat! access to your top is acute, with nothing to say negative ...

SOUNDS

This bass is a model of versatility ... I first lot of styles with no problems, funk to jazz to metal by the blues and rock ... ny'a it in large parts of slap or active electronics would be welcome! (But the slap is affordable)
The sustain is good or very good depending on the model is able to satisfy lovers of harmonic pastorussiennes ...

OVERALL OPINION

For 680 euros (710 left-handed) is an exellent low dot a very good potential ... every time I try an American JB I tell myself that I was right to not slam 1500 euros ... the difference between Mexican and U.S. price level for me is not justified, fender just needs to pay the brand and the "prestige" ... :-(
I bought this bass for about 6 months, I am fully satisfied and I never had a problem with ...
just one thing, if possible try to store not have bad surprises ... (Like all the bass there ...)
