i have been playing bass for about a year or more now and play in a garage band.Its my third bass guitar. my musical tastes are Metallica, megadeth, slayer, rage against the machine, pantera, van halen, slipknot, ac/cd , alice in chains, foo fighters, iron maiden, soundgarden, black sabbath, sum 41, system of a down, audioslave, u2 , stone sour, mastodon, trivium, rebel meets rebel.

i bought this bass in ireland for 699euro and i bought it because i heard they were a good bass and i seen a lot of bass players playing the fender jazz bass

i like the playability of this bass,its real easy to play notes fast on and to play slap bass on. Also the sound and its look and its really good for...…

Bought used in 2002 with hardshell case for $300. made in Mexico.

Love the neck and you can really move with this bass

Bridge was pretty weak. Replaced with a badass II bridge. Made a huge difference. Pickups are pretty weak too.

Descent for amount paid. Not top of the line but holds up well.

Perfect bass for anyone without a huge cash flow. For a professional player you would definetly want to upgrade everything possible, (pickups, bridge, etc.)

PURCHSED IN ATHENS GREECE AT 350 EUROS THIS BASS WAS THE BEST POSSIBLE SOLUTION AT THIS LEVEL OF PRICE. THE REASON THAT I BOUGHT IT WAS THAT I LIKE DTHE FEELING OF TEH FRETBOARD OF A JAZZ BASS

THE FEELING IS VERY GOOD IN TERMS OF EASY PLAYING.
ALDER BODY AND MAPLE NECK ARE OK SELECTIONS.

THE FEELING IS VERY GOOD IN TERMS OF EASY PLAYING BUT THE SOUND WAS A BIT "DRY".
THE QUALITY OF THE BRIDGE CAN BE ACCEPTABLE BUT ONLY FOR A FEW MONTHS.
THE PICTURE WAS CLEAR : BOTH PICKUPS AND BRIDGE WOULD SOON NEED TO BE UPGRADED.

ANOTHER DRAWBACK WAS THAT THE NECK SUFFERED A LOT FROM CONCAVE ESPECIALLY ON THE NECK JOINT. FRETS NEED TO BE RUBBED TO AVOID BUZZING. I DO NOT KNOW IF A DOUBLE TRUSS ROD...…

I bought my Fender Standard Jazz Bass at Morrell's Music in my hometown. I got it for about $420 with the sunburst finish.

I love the tonal options and the playability of the Jazz Bass. This bass is my first bass, but I played my friend's Ibanez for a while before I got the Jazz Bass. I prefer the Fender a lot more than the Ibanez. I play funk, rock, and metal and the Jazz Bass fills all genres.

Really the only dislike that I have is the weight. Jazz Bass can get quite heavy.

This bass is beautifully constructed and is very reliable. I've hit my bass pretty hard and had no problems at all. The quality is great; I paid $420 and its worth every pennie.

The Fender Jazz Bass is...…
