VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: It has a very nice clean sound, no buzzing or clicks in the pickups. Feature: This bass is of very good quality and will probably last me a long time. The only problem I had with it is the bridge is not of the best quality I have seen, the bridge on my bass kept winding down. I replaced it with a Leo Quan BADASS II bass bridge, no problems. It stays in tune very well. Ease of Use: Very good overall. Some trouble with the bridge but nothing I couldn't fix. Quality: Very good except small hole, about 2 inches from the bridge. Value: Yes. Manufacturer Support: Have not dealt with them, I doubt I ever will. The Wow Factor: It is awsome, the finish is very good. Just like a big Stratocaster, very easy to handle, very appealing. Overall: This is one the most versetile sounding basses around, and would replace anything on it to keep playing it and will play it until it is unrepairable. It works very well for me and the music I play.

Back to Product Information
Sound: The bass I have is a '92 jazz. I bought it used off of Ebay. For being an older bass it sounds pretty good. I need to take time and adjust the bridge but I've had it for 3 months now and haven't done a "set up" yet. Originally I got it as a back up for my Ibanez SR500 but now I split time between them. I ended up putting some EB Flats on it and they sound good. Feature: It's passive. It has all the controls needed. I don't like the tuning keys. They seem to be loose when turning them. It's 16 years old so I'm not too worried about them. Once it's tuned it stays tuned. The neck is fine, easy to move on. Ease of Use: The controls enable me to get the sounds I want. Quality: The bass seems to be built pretty good. It has some dings on it but like I said, it's a '92. The tuners could be better but no big deal. Value: Well mine was cheap because it was used and I bid on it. I haven't had a chance to play a new one but the price of a new one seems fine by me. Manufacturer Support: n/a The Wow Factor: I like the shape of the jazz compared to other basses. It's built good and is easy to use. The controls allow me to get the sound I want. The neck feels good, smooth, pretty fast. Overall: I plan on keeping this bass for a while, at least a year. It's 16 years old so I'll end up getting another bass in time. I like the Standard Jazz. I'm debating on getting another Standard or saving and getting the Highway One. Either way, I'll be getting a jazz. Most likely I'll keep this jazz and trade my Ibanez for another jazz, regardless of model. If you want a nice bass, built good, good feel, and good sound, try a Standard. You may be surprised.

Value: Little expensive for a "made in mexico." but still ok.. worth it believe me Manufacturer Support: support? The Wow Factor: i think its pretty damn sexy. lol. i got the midnight wine and its definately a great lookin color. the jazz body is definatley attratctive and distinguishable.

Sound: Very versatile. easily fits into any playing need. Feature: Nothing fancey but gets the job done. I like the slim neck though which eases neck movement. Quality: even this is no american jazz bass, i find it to be high quality. Value: I feel this bass was worth the money. I did not know the sound difference that there could be in a bass as i was switching from a beginner bass to this. I was surprised and satisfied with the price. Manufacturer Support: i have not yet had to contact support but im sure they would be most helpful. The Wow Factor: I love the look of this bass and the color. I purchased one in blue agave and the finsh is great. Overall: This bass i feel will be my primary bass for at least another 4 years if not more, i got it this past christmas and have been greatly satisfied. i plan to save up now for a new amp but his bass will stay with me for a while because the sound i great no matter what style i play.

Ease of Use: there again its a jazz bass........with the upgrades of done mine rocks...not quite as good as my modified p-bass(added badass and a jazz pu) but it does quite well Quality: my only real gripe is the bridge.......but there again mexican fender bridges are not that good. Value: its worth the money......even if you do not upgrade it.....its a fine piece of musical equiptment and very versatile. Manufacturer Support: haven't had to use it The Wow Factor: wanted another jazz for years.......now i got one.....yay for me Overall: I expect after the bridge and maybe a detuner and a bone nut.....i'll own it for many many years to come

Feature: standard features for a standard bass. does the job well Ease of Use: fantastic neck, smooth and slim. probably the best part of the bass.

Manufacturer Support: no need yet The Wow Factor: simple and understated. very cool. Overall: potentially great if youre willing to work with it.

Back to Product Information
Sound: This is a very good, solid sounding instrument - an excellent 'basic bass.' Very good value for the money. Stays in tune quite well. Feature: It has what it needs - nothing more, nothing less - and less is often more. The pickups could use a touch more bottom end for live performance but I use this mainly in a home studio with preamp. Quality: Very solid feel - looks great - can't really tell this apart from the more 'expensive' Fenders except for the 'M' serial number. Good, quality craftsmanship Value: Terrific value - best bang for the buck Manufacturer Support: Haven't needed support The Wow Factor: Again, it is what it is - a no frills, basic bass that gives back what you give it. I don't need it to be particularly sexy or an example of pure genius or anything other than what it is. It's a handsome, solid, well-crafted, Overall: Yes, yes - yes and yes..

Ease of Use

Back to Product Information
Sound: Pretty nice and full sound. As far as the knobs go, there isn't much versatility in them. The sound with all the knobs pointed up is actually pretty good for any kind of music. It could be a little louder, but it is passive after all. Feature: The neck is a little big for my taste, but it is a lot better than the p-bass. I really don't like the position of the knobs because it is right under the "strum zone". i play with a pick, so when i'm live i tend to hit all of the knobs and they sometimes get turned all the way around, which almost completly cuts out the sound. and i HATE the bridge. it's not terrible for adjusting or anything, but it is soo sharp. i've cut my hand on it multiple times. Ease of Use: it's not easy to play with a pick, but when fingering it has a very nice feel. Quality: It's a pretty solid guitar as far as quality goes. Value: It's a decent price, but it gets marked up every year and think it's starting to get overpriced. Overall: It's a pretty nice guitar, but i don't recommend it to people who play with a pick.

Sound: Great sound! You can get any type of sound for whatever type of music you play. My band plays alt/metal but we also cover some of oldies and this baby can make it. I recommend using your fingers rather than a pick. I also play it through a Fender Rumble 100 and the two make a beautiful couple. Feature: The three tuners help you get what ever sound you want without walking to the amplifier. Quality: FENDER can make the best basses not only in sound, but in durability. I have bump my babys head several times once even dropped her on the steps. Either i am one lucky idiot or this baby is built like a tank. Value: Awsome sound, built like a tank, and nice looking. The best value you can get on a bass! Buy it before Fender starts jacking up the price. Manufacturer Support: Haven't bothered Fender yet, even though i might the way i'm mistreating my baby. The Wow Factor: I wanted this bass due to its positive reviews and beauty. I go mine in brown sunburst and i think its well worth the extra money. Overall: I had this bass for 3 months so far. And its really serving my needs rocking needs. Its not only for Jazz, it for everything. Get this with a loud amp and you will be proud to call yourself a bass player!

Back to Product Information
Sound: Great Fender Jazz growl. I use this bass mainly for the classic rock covers in our set; perfect sound for that. Performs well live or in the studio, although, the classic 60 cycle hum has to be dealt with. Excellent player; neck is just right in size and feel. I play my Jazz through an SWR Workingman's stack(400W head, 4X10 over 1X15 cabs. Great combination; unbelievably good value. Feature: The Mexi Jazzes come pretty bare bones, but, at their price level, I was able to get a nice tolex case, Korg rack mount tuner, a spare set of strings and still paid less than a new bass from CA would have cost me. Quality: Very surprised at the high quality fo fit and finish on this guitar. The sunburst color looks great all knobs have good, solid feel when turned, all hardware firmly attached and straight. Value: After playing both, I found very little difference between this bass and higher priced alternatives. Higher priced basses usually offer more in the way of accessories...but you do pay for them. Manufacturer Support: Haven't had to deal with them for any reason so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. The Wow Factor: Fenders are pretty basic guitars but that's what makes them great. Most players will want a Fender in stock of guitars at some point. The mexican models make it a little easier on the wallet. Overall: I will wear this guitar out; it has the tone I love most in a bass. I have added an active 5-stringer from Ibanez; we play mostly cover tunes and a lot contemporary music uses the 5-string.
