Fender 5+ string bass guitars

I purchased my bass in Lake Charles, La. I was looking for a bass with active pickups. The dealer offered me a slightly used Marcus Miller signature Bass and a hard case for $600.00. That sound like a good deal so I took it. The 75 vintage look helped alot too. I love the block inlay and maple fret board. The body is white with black pick guard, and the "Badass" bridge is awesome. I like the fact that Marcus Miller sounds good playing it. Now! what about the rig? It should come with its own case. Are they all made in Japan? I'am no professional player but this unit is well balanced,smooth action,lightweight and is built solid. I love the range this bass can cover. I couldn't have purchased a better bass for the money I spent on this one. This review was originally published on http://www.musicgearreview.com

I bought this bass on eBay.com (you guys must go there to buy anything).Anyway it was the first time I was going on the site.I saw the bass half price (1100$).I immediatly bought it. Well, I like everything. If you have money just buy it.The neck is so comfortable the active humbucker is really powerfull so you can play any kind of music.The slap sounds great.The sound quality is great.I was used to saying that I always wanted a MusicMan bass, but now, I have the best bass ever.I won't even try to look another bass (except Fender FMT maybe).The day before I receive the bass I tried a MusicMan, and I didn't like it at all.Trust, me if you can buy it just do it. If I really have to say something it would be about the maple neck.There's a kind of lack of warmth with it but it makes you have a great slap sound. The quality is just great.It's so pretty that I sometimes lay it down somewhere and just look at it. Yes, maybe I'm in love. I think I said everything about it. I can't say anything more. I love Fender for what they make.

I got this bass from Guitar Center for my birthday. It was $515. I really like this bass, because it has the active pickups and the 4 Tone Knobs, so I can make the bass crunchy sounding or mellowed out. It's black with a beautiful tortoise shell pickguard. There isn't anything I can say I don't like about this bass. It's awesome. It has great construction, other than the fact that when I tried to install strap-locks sawdust started falling from the strap hole, and i needed to glue the straplock in with wood glue. I think this bass overall is an awesome choice for intermediate bassists. This review was originally published on http://www.musicgearreview.com

I was just looking for a second bass, everyone I see has a Fender, either a jazz bass or a precision. So I went to Mars Music they had afew mostly Black and all were Mexican, so then I went to Guitar Center and their it was a beautiful Mauve colored deluxe jazz bass with active picups, the price I thought was a little high at 789.00 but I said what the heck its very hard to find a left handed anything thats good so I bought it Fenders have a unique sound all to them selfs they are very deep in tone and its a very well built bass for the money, a thrill to play. This is a very heavy instument and a little uneaven to handel This Fender is a very well built American Made Instument solid body neck thru. Great paint job a thrill to own The bottom line is that this is a very well constructed bass excellent tonallity, weather its your first bass or not its a winner and thats why allmost everyone has a FENDER This review was originally published on http://www.musicgearreview.com
