Quality:
Th quality of this guitar is excelent. I bought it used, and I don't know what year it is, and the quality of this instrument is incredible. The way it sounds is awesome, the craftmenship is great. This guitar was really put together well.

Value:
This guitar is totally worth the money. Infact it seems like it would cost more, with the way it feels in your hands.

Desirability:
TI ahev the brown sunburst, and it is very very sexy. I love the finish, its absolutly beautiful.

Sound:
The sound on this guitar is awesome. The way it kicks out bass is incredible, and middle and treble also sound great. This is a very good jazz bass for the money, with the sounds coming from the pickups. With some noiceless pickups (Mine was used, and didn't come with noiceless) this guitar would totally rock.

Overall:
Overall, this guitar has great sound, is cost effective, and has great feautures, and a very playable neck. I was orriginaly going to buy a low end Ibanz 5-string, but I am SO happy I bought this one instead. I am VERY happy with it.

Feature:
This Active jazz bass is awesome, treble, medium and bass plus a pan pot for mixing pickups. everything you need. and gigbag!! cmon what else do you need to start playing?

Quality:
this one is like kind of anoying, i had to re adjust some parts of the bass, and the strap locks are kind of loose but you can tight them.

Value:
the price is worth it, like i said just add a badass bridge and you have a really worthy gigable jazz bass and a MIA killer for sure (in my opinion i like Active over passive because of more tonal pssibilities and a more Hi-Fi sound)

Desirability:
its missing something...i dunnno what but when i find it, ill tell you! maybe the badass bridge...

Sound:
the sound quality is awesome! like if you were recording all the time! no noise at all! you can shape your sound as you like! this is like a true winner, ive heard lots of basses such as MIA and MIJ but this one sounds just like them! just add a Badass Bridge for more sustain and you are ready to go, you'll even kill MIA Jazz Basses!

Ease of Use:
It is really easy to use, it is a no brainer! i guess you can figure it out!

Support:
never had to deal with it, but ive heard it sucks...ill give 10 because i've never needed it.

Overall:
Best Mid-Priced Bass!

Feature:
There are five knobs on this bass (there appears to be four, but one is a top-bottom double). These include master volume, pickup blender (neck to bridge), bass boost, treble boost, and midrange boost (AWESOME for slap-style funky bass). The features couldn't be better. The deluxe gigbag is truly deluxe - highly padded and with all the pockets and zippers.

Quality:
Solid...Heavy...Durable...Beautiful...Sounds great. What more is there to say?

Value:
Spend the extra $ to get this bass. It's well worth it.

Desirability:
You see jazz basses everywhere... but the vintage white color stands out making it very appealing.

Sound:
The Sound on this bass is incredible. The 3 band active EQ lets you do literally anything on it. I was surprised to get such a great tone and sound out of a mexican; it could be better then the american fenders.

Ease of Use:
After I figured out all of the knobs, this bass just did the rest.

Support:
Wouldn't know - never have had to deal with them.

Overall:
I'll keep this bass forever.

Feature:
Very functional. took 5 min. to figure out sensitivity of knobs. I can pull out just about any tone I need. Solid, bass players bass.

Quality:
Road worthy, dependable, and solid. Pick guard a little cheep but who cares.

Value:
Very good value.

Desirability:
Sexy bass, I get complements on it. Mine is Black.

Sound:
I have this and a passive jazz. It's nice to move to the open minded active without changing the feel of the bass i'm playing.

Ease of Use:
Clear Manual. As Fender always has. Fairly intuitive. Very Playable

Support:
Never used. thats a good thing.

Overall:
I would recomend to anyone. Pro on down will enjoy this Bass.

Feature:
Bridge is standard Fender junk....get a $50 Leo Quan and boost your sustain by 100%. Tuners not as good as an American, but not bad either. The rest feels just like an American, and the electronics are quiet and not too "clanky" sounding.

Value:
Best all-around mid-priced bass I could find.

Sound:
My drummer sez this sounds much better than my '83 American Jazz (for half the cost)

Support:
Been playing Fenders since 1975...have NEVER had to deal with them.

Feature:
i like how it comes with a good quality gig bag, but the bridge isnt the best i have ever played, it should come with a leo quan.

Quality:
like i said, its a fender.

Value:
in my opinion it should cost more.

Desirability:
vintage white, it drives them crazy. lol

Sound:
it is very easy to mold the sound with the 3-band eq. plus its a fender, so you know you are getting a great sound.

Ease of Use:
it is incredable how many sounds you can get from this bass, you can go from a soft low end, to a punchy slap groove with the turn of a knob.

Support:
yeah, these guys are great!

Overall:
many years, untill i can afford a 1960's vintage jazz bass.

Fender Active Jazz Bass Customer Review

Overall:
          10 out of 10
Sound:
          10 out of 10
Submitted: 5/29/2005

 

 
Sound:
The sound is a more midrange which is what is very popular nowadays and but throw up the volume on the neck pickup and put the down as low as it can go and it will hit the bass notes you didnt even know could be spit out of an instrument.
