Another Winner From Fender

Date of Review:  Mar 6, 2001
The Bottom Line: This is an inexpensive but well made instrument,and a great deal. Bang for the buck is huge.
Review: I am by trade a guitarist.Playing bass has always been something I do on the side. But when my friend and musical collaborator moved out west,I had to carry on in the studio alone. This required me to get a bass.
After much exploration I came...

The Perfect Bass

Date of Review:  Oct 5, 2001
The Bottom Line: The Fender Jazz Bass is the perfect bass for anyone. It looks good, plays great, and there is no real reason to get anything different.
Review: Fender hasn't changed this much since its introduction in the 1960's. And it still rules. I purchased the Sunburst model at Mars Music. The bass has great ringing tone - very rich and full. I am yet to find a dead spot on this bass. The Neck is very...

Better for value out there

Date of Review:  Nov 27, 2005
Review: This was my first bass and it has carried me through some great shows and some i would rather forget. The finish is excellent for a beginners bass and far outstrips a squire in playability and tone. For the money, however, this bass isn't really the...

Fender American Jazz V

Date of Review:  Mar 27, 2002
The Bottom Line: Try and copy this tone with any gadget you want.....there is no substitute.
Review: First of all the $400-$500 dollar price tag is a misprint. These basses run around $1000 or so new, the Mexican version is the cheaper one. I found mine for $600 used. I haven't had the pleasure of trying out one of the Mexican models, but the...

Fenders are the BEST

Date of Review:  Apr 21, 2001
The Bottom Line: A fine bass for any beginner to advanced player. Don't try to slap on it, but most other styles sound great.
Review: The good old Fender Jazz Bass. What more can be said? Running bass lines with it, even dual power chords and picking sounds good on it. The only complaint I have about it is when trying to play funk, i have trouble slapping...it may be a technical...

Great bass for newbies and intermediate players.

Date of Review:  Jan 21, 2001
The Bottom Line: It's only $299 at your nearest Guitar Center, I recommend at least try playing one and see what you think (which I recommend before you buy and bass).
Review: This is my second bass guitar and it is really great. The style is fairly original, the body has a sleek design, and the tone and volume controls are neatly placed. Many people have told me that the neck is to long and the frets are to wide, I can't...

Classic Styling and Tone

Date of Review:  Oct 16, 2000
Review: The Mexico-made Fender Standard Jazz Bass is a good facsimile of the higher-priced USA-made models. With a few modifications, it goes from being a decent starter and backup instrument to a terrific #1.

First, let me highlight some of the...

Often Imitated

Date of Review:  Dec 8, 2000
Review: By mid-2000, Fender's popular American Standard line of basses and guitars was replaced by something described nebulously as the "American Series". I guess they got tired of the term "American Standard" reminding people of toilets and thus dropped...

Good Not Great But Don't Pass It Off

Date of Review:  Dec 14, 2000
Review: The Fender Standard Jazz Bass was my first bass and is currently my only bass. I got it for Christmas 1999 and plan to keep it for as long as it will last. It delivers a tone that is nice but nowhere as good as the tone from a bass with active...

Date of Review:  Dec 15, 2000

Let me first start by saying that this...
