« Fender MIM Standard Jazz »

I PAID $365.00 BRAND NEW OFF THE RACK (GEORGE'S MUSIC). THE NECK IS AWSOME VERY STRIAGHT. SOME OF THE AMERICAN FENDERS HAD WARPPED AND TWISTED NECKS. I GUESS FROM HANGING THERE SO LONG BECAUSE THEY ARE SO EXPENSIVE.

I LOVE THE PLAYABILITY OF THIS BASS AND THE TONE YOU CAN GET OUT OF IT. I REPLACED THE FACTORY PICKUPS WITH 60'S VINTAGE FENDER JAZZ PICKUPS AND MAN! THAT MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD! I ALSO PUT A CUSTOM PICK GUARD ON IT. NOW IT LOOKS AND SOUNDS LIKE A VINTAGE FENDER JAZZ BASS.

THE ONLY THING I DON'T LIKE ABOUT THIS BASS IS THAT IS DOSEN'T SAY "MADE IN USA" ON IT.
OTHER THAN THAT IT'S GREAT.

TYPICAL FENDER QUALITY. THE FINISH IS FLAWLESS. I HAVE BEEN PLAYING IT FOR MORE THAN A YEAR AND STILL DO HAVE A SCRATCH ON IT. VERY DURABLE!

BOTTOM LINE. MEXICAN FENDER BASSES ARE ALMOST AS GOOD AS THE AMERICAN FENDERS. EXCEPT FOR THE PICKUPS! BUT LETS FACE IT- NOTHING IS BETTER THAN AMERICAN MADE!

UNITED WE STAND!
