"A Sexy Attention-Grabber"

Feature:
Hey, it's a Jazz Bass. You've got your controls for each pickup. More tonal possibilities than a P-Bass, but nothing too fancy. This set-up has been the choice of pros and amateurs alike for many, many years. It's all that I need.

Quality:
When mine came into the music store where I ordered it, I remember opening the case. Not only was I blown away by the beauty, I could hear all the employees oohing and aahing behind me. I was a little worried about the 3-bolt neck, but I've had absolutely no problems, and I play it hard.

Value:
No doubt about it - this is an expensive instrument. I paid $1,125.00 for mine 3 or 4 years ago, and that was the best price I could find. But you know what? I've never regretted it. I can't tell you all the compliments I've received regarding the appearance and sound of this bass.

Desirability:
Clearly, I "wanted" one. When I saw the picture in a Fender catalog, I knew I had to have it. Just gorgeous.

Sound:
This is an awesome bass. I've owned one for about 4 years now. Great tone. Cuts through really well with roundwounds. Slap a set of flatwounds on it and you've got a tremendous rubbery thud sound akin to an upright, but better.

Support:
I've never had occasion to need anything. I do think that a major corporation like Fender should have an 800 number for their customer service. There are a ton of Fender owners out here. It would be nice if Fender would "throw us a bone" by making it cost-free to contact them via phone if we have any questions.

Overall:
I have owned, sold, and traded many basses over the years. This is one that I don't think I'll ever get rid of, short of a medical or financial catastrophe. If it were lost or stolen, I'd love to get another one if I could afford it at that time.

"the best fender j."

Feature:
IT is a j-bass. What can i say? THe vintage wound pickups are awesome. I replaced the c$#p bridge that fender gives you with a badass II. It is worth it. The bass has vibe. I would never part with it.

Quality:
Solidly built. I worry about the neck joint. I replaced the bridge, Other than that top notch. the finish is fantastic. The pot covers can come off but that happens wiht most fender basses. This baby could dish it out on the road. It has a tough finish so don't be afraid to get wild.

Value:
this is an expensive bass. But i never have to buy another one. It is worth it for me.

Desirability:
natural finish with a black pickguard with the skunk stripes. YUM!

Sound:
This bass is characterized by its tight response and punch. It is amazing. MOre punch than any rick i have ever come across. The neck is extremely fast and thin. Becareful, it will spoil you.

Ease of Use:
if your into funk and rock this is the bass for you. The thinnest neck i have ever played and the glossy bound finish lets your hand glide down the neck.

Support:
n/a

Overall:
A supped up j-bass. nuff said
