Overall: I ordered this bass on 5-2-12 and recieved it on 5-4-12, the bass is absolutely beautiful, although it is darker than the one featured in the add. The craftsmanship is exceptional and the tone perfection. I am as pleased with this bass as with any I own and the payment plan seals the deal.

Sound: I have owned several Bass guitars, 4 and 5 strings. But the 5 string American Jazz Bass is the best I have ever played.There is no other bass guitar that comes close to the sound that the Fender Jazz can produce. Overall: I have owned the Fender American Jazz Bass for 1 1/2 years,and every time I play it the sound is better than the time before. The different sounds you can get from this Bass is one of a kind. I don't think I will ever get bored with the sound this Jazz produces.

Sound: Well balanced tone. It cuts threw the seven piece band I play in. Great with any style music. Feature: The EQ is really nice, although the head room is not as good as my spector or yamaha. Ease of Use: The action is great. But it is a little top heavy, as most 5 strings are. And it's under 10 pounds. Quality: Great looking bass. The neck is pretty thin also. Value: I just can't believe how expensive good instruments are these days. The Wow Factor: I love the look of the new jazz basses. I bought the black with maple neck. It has that cool 70's style. Overall: I think it will become my main gigging bass.

Sound: After playing for years on a P-Bass, this is a dream come true. The active pickups exceeded my expectations - the range and variation is phenomenal. Feature: The B string gives reach that otherwise is non-existant - I love the thunder! Ease of Use: Easy, easy, easy - the wide neck is very easy to navigate and the very low frequency string buzz (vibration) does not come through the amp or PA. Quality: Very good - I expect great quality because it's from Fender. Value: Yes - about the same as offered by other retailers but zzounds staff made it easy to do business with. The Wow Factor: The vintage clean look says class and as it's solid black so it fits in with every setting whether jamming casually or playing in church. Overall: This should be my final bass purchase but if it should become unplayable for any reason I would probably purchase the same instrument.

Sound: Smooth fender sound with countless options with the active/passive switch that allows you to have the traditional Fender Jazz sound. I already had one with a rosewood neck. This one has the maple neck which gives the 70's sound similar to the Marcus Miller bass. Feature: The best new feture is the active/passive switch and the tone control. Ease of Use: Very easy however all Jazzes are easy. Quality: Very well made and worth the money. Hopefully, I helped someone in California keep his job by spending a litle extra for Made in the USA. Value: Very reasonably priced for a USA made instrument Manufacturer Support: Never had to use them but... Overall: I have to rate it a 10. I have an older Jazz and I going to buy another new model with the rosewood neck. I like the new electronics just that much.

Overall: I'm at home recording musician with enough guitars to open a store, but I had nothing on the low end. Not being a bassist regular, I just wanted something versatile enough to cover a wide range of styles. My search ended with Fender American Deluxe. It sounds great all and all and the shelving EQ with the passive/active N3 pickup system gets me all the sounds I need, from slap funk, alternative, hard rock, and full on metal. It's great to have an instrument as versatile as this one and to only need one bass to do it all, this is the bass to do it, and don't lemme forget the way it looks is killer! Just wish the body was a two piece natural rather than three piece. That's my only gripe, but it really doesn't affect the overall tone at all, just the aesthetics.

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!
