Good Bass for this price range

Date of Review:  Mar 10, 2003
The Bottom Line: For a beginner, a worthwhile investment to start to learn Bass technique.
Review: I first picked up this bass at a local merchant brand new. I decided to pick this bass out due to a lot of the bass players in the punk genre (especially Alkaline Trio) using it for that single coil sound versus that muffled humbucker tone. However,...

A Sherman tank with Ferrari lines

Date of Review:  Apr 26, 2007
The Bottom Line: Buy this solidly built classic bass. Get the color you like and set it up to your style. Spring for new pickups. Rule the world from the bottom up.
Review: I have been an avid Fender bass fan for quite sometime. In the electric bass world Fender did invent the wheel. The most valuable bass I own is a dead stock 1970 Jazz. But as beautiful as it sounds and looks, it can be a workhorse to play (couple...

Frugal Fretless

Date of Review:  Aug 19, 2001
The Bottom Line: You can get into fretless and still have enough to money to buy groceries.
Review: In all the years I've been playing bass...(hmmm..18 or 19 years now)...musically,I have figured out a few things. First of all, play in tune, play in time and try to remember that it's what you don't play that matters.
That's an old lesson that...

funk as puck guitar

Date of Review:  Jun 20, 2002
The Bottom Line: This bass is a great punk sounding bass. Whenever I hear someone talk about getting a bass I recommend the Fender Standard Jazz Bass.
Review: Well one day i had an extra dollar as I was buying my pack of Luckies and i decided to buy one of those dollar lottery tickets. And geuss how much the unluckiest guy in the world won off of that ticket. 500 bucks. It made my day, i zipped over to...

good fretless

Date of Review:  May 26, 2006
Review: the bass looks good, you do need to change the white factory pickguard for a black or tortoise one!
the sound of the bass is very good....after one hour of pressing buttons and turning knobs.

the feel of the bass is perfect, nice neck...

a bassist heaven

Date of Review:  Dec 22, 2001
The Bottom Line: i would recommend the jazz bass for its easy playability and its wide varitey in tones
Review: The fender jazz bass is in my epinion one of fenders best ideas. It is used by thousands and for a reason. The j bass, as it often called, is very fast to play because of its very thin neck. I am in a band and this is the only bass i bring. The jazz...

A good starter with growth potential

Date of Review:  Jul 19, 2001
The Bottom Line: Recommended. It's a third of the price of an American Standard Fender, but not merely a third of the quality.
Review: Except for the Squier line, this is the introductory Fender Jazz. It's made in Mexico to save $$, but in many ways is as good as its American cousin. The 9.5" radius neck has good feel and decent string spacing. It's versatile for plucking, picking,...

Your first 5 string.

Date of Review:  Jul 19, 2001
The Bottom Line: A decent instrument for first time 5 stringers. It's about a third of the price of an Fender American Standard V, but not merely a third of the quality.
Review: Except for the Squier line, this is the introductory Fender Jazz five string. It's made in Mexico to save $$, but in many ways is as good as its American cousin. The neck has good feel and passable string spacing. It's versatile for plucking,...

Fender All The Way

Date of Review:  Jul 31, 2001
The Bottom Line: Buy it or youll never understand true bass guitar beauty. That was the best i could come up with besides its the best bass you can buy.
Review: Fender is obviously one of the greatest guitar producers ever. But this bass is probably the best u can buy withiout feeling like you bought a really cheap car. The looks are great but its one of the biggest bass you can buy. It wont fit in most...

Date of Review:  Jul 15, 2003
The Bottom Line: Classic all American tone for half the price of an all American version.
Review: The Fender Standard Jazz Bass (Mexican)


Fender first introduced it in 1960 as the "Deluxe Mode." Since, Fender s Jazz Bass has stood the test of time to become one of the most played, most recorded instruments in history. Fender made...
