« Fender Jazz Bass Standard »

Purchased at Guitar Center used for $125.00 and it was a steal. (neck was way out, but a tweak adjustment fixed that).

Used as a backup bass.


Growing up in the 60's I always wanted a Fender Bass, but like most of us I didn't have the money. I settled on medicore imports. Well times have changed and I have a real 5 string American Jazz bass, but wanted a reasonably priced 4 string backup. I picked this Mexican Jazz bass and feel it has all the vibe, feel, and playbility of its American cousin. If you are starting out you can't go wrong with one of these. BTW, I made some personal modifications such as setting up the strings through the body and dressing the frets.

I like it all just fine

It is a well made product for someone that has a budget.

If you were blindfolded and played it you wouldn't tell the difference. I know I had friends play it and comment on its sound.
