MGR/Billy Ezell « Fender Jazz Standard »
Published on 11/09/02 at 15:00i orginally owned a squier p-bass special and didnt like it much so one day i went down to mars music and they were having a going out of buisness sale. I decieded that i wanted a new bass i tried out all the basses they had there and this was the one that i liked the most for under $500. it ended up costing around $360
on my old squier the jazz pickup had a real cold sound with no low end this is not so with my new fender it has a great balanced sound, and i really like the slap tone. another reviewer said it didnt have the pop to play slap bass but i think its perfect. some other reviewers have said that it has a lot of hum but i dont know what theyre talking about mine is virtually silent. the pickups are a little weak but that doesnt matter unless you have a crappy amp. the neck is pretty fast. oh yeah and the reviewer that said this bass is too big is a retard.
when i first got it the action was too high for my tastes but that doesnt acually matter because i just lowered it. there is a little bit of fret buzz if the strings are too low though so i had to mess with it alot to get them as low as possible without fretbuzz. also i would have prefered a neck-through or a sculped heel because i do this one solo where i have to play on the 19th fret( we cover rancid- maxwell murders)and its almost impossible to reach.
well the stuff that i mentioned above could be put under this. i have no complaints about the construction ive only had it a month but i feels solid. my old squier was really neck heavy i like how the fender is more body heavy. since it is made in mexico the quality may be a little spotty. some j-basses may be better than others.
with what some of the other reviews said i would recomend trying it out first because some reviewers said that it humed so i would think that the quality varies a little bit. i wouldnt ever order this bass online. this is a great bass i love it.
