Price 900 euros. Made in Mexico, 20 frets "vintage", jazz bass pickups, I do not know where exactly, easel and a standard volume 2 tone, stick a little thinner than the models of modern and covered with a super gloss in jaunâtre.Touche rosewood, very fine. 3 tone sunburst finish (the only really beautiful Fender I think), the body not specified in a wood, alder I think. Plate tortoise. Some finish flaws serious enough for its price:
A junction body / sleeve has a set of at least 1 millimeter, it changes nothing in his grip and but it's not very neat about a beautiful instrument.
The two cavity microwave also has a keen game of a millimeter, which reveals the wiring (still somewhat neglected ...)
The junction of three pickguard and knobs of the plate is not clear.
These are the only critical issue Paske the rest is really perfect.
UTILIZATION
The handle, from my point of view, is really perfect: the first contact is very easy it can be done directly. The gloss is soft and does not bother to make a slip or other. Access to acute is specific to this type of instrument: not perfect but not bad either, and as the handle is ery end, no problem. It still weighs a lot, you can feel after a few hours, but you get used to. For the settings easy! 2 volumes and a tone not need to beat around the bush just the right sound live: a big sound very full, with crystalline highs, parfait.Je put 8 because I've already tried a J Bass Deluxe US (too expensive!) And a deluxe Mexico (Active). A flat, the pots are not of high quality and not always fixed a few turns of the key enough to fix it, is also a mass problrme I bientôt.Ca that such adjustments made two years that I have and I do not regret not this purchase
SOUNDS
I play mostly rock very rough and I think it was just that: simple but effective. To play vintage rock (hendrix stones Who) is really the ideal, and for the grooves to Pastorius. on the other hand to play slap stuff like Red Hot c is harder, but set the amp gives a good result. I play with a SWR LA 15 stroke that almost all the sounds I want. In rehearsal I play with a 160-watt laney hardcore that there is in the local, c amp is a fairly straight forward, but the couple hardcore jazz bass works really well. I think the mieu lice get a good sound is to combine the two microphones and adjust the tone depending on the desired. For dry grooves, micro acute than enough. Y really no sound that I find wrong with this bass
OVERALL OPINION
J loves rock, old and full of modern and other styles of zic (groove, funk) and I'm really happy with the sound, feeling and an inimitable class. She is really perfect, except for a few flaws mentioned above, which are not very serious. I'm starting to think about changing the pickups to improve this marvel. I recommend it to all rock fans who want something simple, solid, classy looking and the big sound!!
