zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
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.

Quality:
Very good except small hole, about 2 inches from the bridge.

Value:
Yes.

Desirability:
It is awsome, the finish is very good. Just like a big Stratocaster, very easy to handle, very appealing.

Sound:
It has a very nice clean sound, no buzzing or clicks in the pickups.

Ease of Use:
Very good overall. Some trouble with the bridge but nothing I couldn't fix.

Support:
Have not dealt with them, I doubt I ever will.

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.

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.

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.

Desirability:
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.

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.

Ease of Use:
The controls enable me to get the sounds I want.

Support:
n/a

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.

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.

Desirability:
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.

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.

Support:
Haven't had to deal with them for any reason so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.

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.

Feature:
It didnt come with anything special, but the tone features are very useful.

Quality:
its a FENDER!!! wat would be wrong with it?

Value:
Little expensive for a "made in mexico." but still ok.. worth it believe me

Desirability:
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:
great pop, great slap. the tone knobs give u wide spectrum of sound that is greatly larger than the sound spectrum of the P bass. dont even fret about the "JAZZ" part of it, u can play all types of music with this. i hooked it up with my distortion pedal for sum hard rock and it played really great!

Support:

Overall:
great bass, great sound, great look, great buy!

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.

Desirability:
I love the look of this bass and the color. I purchased one in blue agave and the finsh is great.

Sound:
Very versatile. easily fits into any playing need.

Support:
i have not yet had to contact support but im sure they would be most helpful.

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.

Quality:
This is an overall exceptionally well put together bass

Value:
the price is going up each year and its starting to get a little too much

Desirability:
sweet

Sound:
this bass is amazing. i bought the sunburst and the finish was awsome. The tone was much better than some of the ibanez's that were twice the price. its an excellent buy for the money

Ease of Use:
it is a very comfortable bass to play and the neck is a little big but puts the p-bass neck to shame

Support:
havent needed it

Overall:
10 years

Feature:
its what you need, nothing more nonthing less, but some might want more knobs, but this isnt a EQ bass...

Quality:
beautiful hardware, holds up nice

Value:
maybe a little pricey, but hey, its a nice bass

Desirability:
i have the sunburst, and with the turtle shell pick guard, it was dead sexy

Sound:
this bass has a awsome array of sound it can pump out, from slap bass/funk to fingering and punk all with a few twists. i knew from the moment i heard it, it must be mine.

Overall:
need i say more, just get it and you will see.

Feature:
it's a passive bass.........how many features can it have? I'm going to install either a hipshot or badass II on it soon, possibley a detuner as 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.

Desirability:
wanted another jazz for years.......now i got one.....yay for me

Sound:
this bass sounded fair at best......until i installed some bassline quarter pound pickups.......now it smokes!

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

Support:
haven't had to use it

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

Quality:
very solid feeling. could take a few hits im sure.

Value:
if you're willing to spash out on a new pickups and bridge then youve got yourself a USA quality j-bass for about haalf the price.

Desirability:
simple and understated. very cool.

Sound:
stock pickups were a bit tinny, not a great low end. also very poor bridge made many frets, particuarly on the thick E string very buzzy. i put a new pair of seymour duncan 1/4 pounders and a badass II bridge and suddenly it stands up with its american cousins.

Ease of Use:
fantastic neck, smooth and slim. probably the best part of the bass.

Support:
no need yet

Overall:
potentially great if youre willing to work with it.

Feature:
i love the thin neck. good pickups and tuners also.

Quality:
tough bass also. i have had the headstock hit into many things but still sounds brand new.

Value:
all worth it, but i dont think i would spend a great deal more on it, cause there is always a highway or US series to go for.

Desirability:
looks great

Sound:
Great tone, very versatile to fit any style. Used w/ a hartke 3500 head and a hartke VX410 cab. Not much better passive tone out there

Support:
no problems yet, and i doubt there will be.

Overall:
i think this will last me a good amount of time. Great step up from a beginner bass.

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

Desirability:
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,

Sound:
This is a very good, solid sounding instrument - an excellent 'basic bass.' Very good value for the money. Stays in tune quite well.

Support:
Haven't needed support

Overall:
Yes, yes - yes and yes..

It doesn't break I have had mine for a couple months and I have had no problems with it I will be putting new pick-ups, a new bridge, and maybe new tuners.

Value:
It is an awesome bass but make sure you get an older model the new models aren't as nice I got 2001 and I am very happy with it. You can still find older ones in stores that aren't used.

Desirability:
It is great

Sound:
It has decent sound but the 60's reissue sounds nicer

Overall:
It isn't an American but its a lot better than the Music man stingray.

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.

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.

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.

Ease of Use:
it's not easy to play with a pick, but when fingering it has a very nice feel.

Overall:
It's a pretty nice guitar, but i don't recommend it to people who play with a pick.

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.

Desirability:
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.

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.

Support:
Haven't bothered Fender yet, even though i might the way i'm mistreating my baby.

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!

Feature:
some good features

Quality:
solid bass

Sound:
this bass sounds decent.

Overall:
overall. this bass is a marketing scam. the bridge is horrible. the tuning machines are loose. the over all feel and sound is very medicore(average)i should of just saved up a few extra bucks and gotten that schecter neck thru that i wanted. but now, since i dont have the money..i have to deal with owning this bass. the bottom line is..if you are going to buy a fender..dont waste your time..just get an american..or dont get one at all. id go for the second option if i were you.

This Bass has cheap hardware(tuners and bridge)and noisy pickups. Replace both and actually have a decent bass! You need to decide if it's worth replacing the hardware and pickups or just forking out the extra money for an American model.
