Reggie Hamilton Jazz Bass Customer Review

Feature:
Drop D is awesome (though I can't say I use it too much, sadly). Active/Passive pickups are also pretty sweet - you can pump that much more sound out of the bass. Big fan of the Treble/Mid/Bass knobs as well.

Quality:
Very well made. Unfortunately, it's a Mexi, but everyone who sees and hears it assumes it's an American.

Value:
Very well priced, I'd say. Don't see myself needing a new bass for a very long time.

Desirability:
Sexy 60s Sunburst/Tortoise Shell, the standard Fender bass look but with the P-Bass and Jazz Bass noiseless pickups, people look twice to figure out what exactly you have.

Sound:
Beautiful sound. My first bass was a Kent (which I thankfully did not own) and this instrument showed me what a real bass actually sounds like.

Ease of Use:
I keep forgetting which knob is which however...Everything else is pretty straight forward.

Support:
Never needed support...guess that's a good thing.

Overall:
I'm not parting with this instrument anytime soon. Granted, I can't afford my text books, but I think it's a fair trade.

"Good purchase"

Feature:
Drop D lever - beautiful. Active/passive modes also great.

Desirability:
I really wanted a bass in that lovely Fender ice white/baby blue color, but this is a beautiful instrument in the sunburst/tortoise shell.

Sound:
I really enjoy the tone of Fender's Jazz Basses and this doesn't dissapoint. Huge amount of control over the instrument's sound.
