Fender Jazz Bass

Mark · Post by **Mark** » Sun Mar 06, 2005 4:35 pm

I am saving up for a new bass, and I am thinking about the Fender Jazz. I know that many good bass players (including some metal bass players) use them. http://www.music123.com/Fender-Standard ... 8067.music

I am looking at that one. Anyone have advice for me?

Yeah, I want a bass with a classic look to it, as well as a really warm sound. I'll probably get a different pick guard with it though as white doesn't go nice with sunburst in my opinion.

If you're going to get a Fender bass, a Jazz is the only way to go.

...and two bi-pole pickup configuration have been a favorite for bass players of all styles.

Whoah, did sA design this thing?

Definately. I don't like precisions. They have a weak sound to me. The jazz, on the other hand, has a round, warm sound and incredible tone. And to walbass, If I do in fact get that, I am going to get brown sunburst with either a black or shell pickguard. Here is the shell: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/fg= ... id/361326/

No matter what anyone says, you cannot go wrong with a Jazz Bass.
I kind like presicions, but love them when strung with flats.

That finish would be perfect for jammin' out to some hair metal.

I don't really like the colour at all on that. I'm not a bassist though.

couldn't tell if that was sarcasm, but in case not: it's an mtd beast4. plays fucking sweet. excellent range of tone. wenge fingerboard has amazing action. probably the best purchase ever, although at times i wish i'd gotten it in 5 strings instead of 4.

I have a 5-string Fender American Standard Jazz Bass, and it is probably the best bass I have ever played. It stays in tune all the way up the fretboard and the tone is awesome. I have a 4-string Ibanez too, but it just doesn't compare. Make sure you find the color you want, though. I just got the one the music store had in stock. It's like a metallic purple color. It's all right, but I'd much rather have a more "metal" color. But damn, it's a very nice bass.
