Fender American Jazz Bass V [2003-2007]

Fender jazz bass 5 string us / passive Low
2 single coil jazz bass pickups
3 knobs: volume + switch neck pickup, bridge pickup volume, Tone.
The switch to switch from one configuration "jazz bass" (microphones in Parallel) configuration "Precision Bass" (pickups in series). In the configuration "Precision Bass" is the first volume knob general, the 2nd is inactive.
Channel and maple body, rosewood fingerboard (depending on model)

Super easy to use!

UTILIZATION

The handle slides alone: ​​there are the natural notes (no need to stay on for 2 hours to make it sound ...)
Small defect: the weight! Y has more than done the muscle, because two hours of concert to rehearse with the beast ... Aie Aie Aie shoulders and back!

SOUNDS

Speak in sound: wow! CA SONNE! Whatever you're looking like her, you find it! Just turn the knobs of a 1 / 4 turn, and you have a sound completely different. And in addition the switch provides even more opportunities. Only small downside, the power! And yes it is a passive! But this concern is no longer one if you have a good amp and / or a good preamp!
Anyway, you can play rock, jazz, funk, etc ... this bass is a marvel of versatility!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for the past six months both in concert ... and repeat that I am not ready to change I desperately looking for a bass like it: versatility and crazy! I would recommend for someone who has some experience and some years of "game" behind him and above all a budget! Price: 1450 euros (eh. .. even when it is us!)
If I had the choice again, without hesitation, I do it again!

J did the purchase of this bass a year ago already? C is a color like Marcus Miller American ash body maple neck rosewood fingerboard and two microphones three controls

UTILIZATION

The handle is Mon most enjoyable that I've had an incredibly easy to play!
for me to access the acute form is relatively aisé.la I like a lot and I've had heavier
one branch and it comes into its own

SOUNDS

I play pop rock and funk group at home and for the two styles is very versatile
and this thanks to the magic button located on the first volume was turned a very good groove and a well rounded for the pop rock nickel EST
deactived we pass in an instant a sound very sharp which will delight the fan of slap I play a lot with the switch off but in two cases this bass has a real presence in the bass that will please groups that want to come off guitars

OVERALL OPINION

I use the past 1 year
I'm totally a fan of the switch that makes us sound almost pass for a precision sound JB
the bass is certainly expensive but the quality has a price and we do not buy more new low for a moment
I buy it back again!

JB American Series (passive) 5 String
new bridge fender
with a handle freights that are overlapped on both sides! as a low at 150 € yes yes! finishes are not really terrible ...
Two volumes a tona (like ab)
SKB tailor a fly by really good cons, light and strong (I'm used to put my bcp jb 78)

UTILIZATION

The handle is not really top I immediately made to pay by my luthier, but the IS serious is soft and therefore not a precise sound and mechanical creak when you give ...
really disappointed

SOUNDS

I tried it in different formations, funk, rock, metal, acoustic and even to try to find a utility ... but nothing was done, it really is crap at these new lower fender ... (In any case, the model I had)

for sound, the neck pickup sounds "cardboard" and the bridge has no personality, the limit all the pots thoroughly, slap it in no worse ...



OVERALL OPINION

I kept one, I paid € 1300, I find it shameful, I'm on a mexican equivalent ...

I am a fan of Fender in general, but this time I sold!
the fly is really case by SKB cons, but that's it!
