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

Feature:
Simple yet effective controls. Vintage hardware is very good but not great; however it is part of the mojo of this bass. The Ash body is beautiful and light. The bound neck is very fast and easy to play.

Quality:
The construction of this bass is great. The neck joint is super tight with no gaps. The neck is straight and fretwork is very good with vintage style frets. The clear finish on this bass is also very good and makes the bass quite beautiful. The only thing needed was to tighten down some of the screws in the pickguard that were raised up a bit.

Value:
This bass is somewhat expensive for what it is.

Desirability:
The bass looks good and you will get comments on it.

Sound:
This Bass has the great 70's Era Jazz Bass sound. The 70's pickup spacing is awesome. The sound is very bright and crisp with just the bridge pickup and the tone cranked, and has a great growl with the neck pickup only, and when you crank them both you get a crisp bright sound with some growl. This bass has a very good sound.

Ease of Use:
This bass plays very well. It plays great right out of the box. Once I get it professionally set up I imagine it will play superbly.

Overall:
This is a great bass and I am extremely satisfied with my purchase.

Feature:
The bass comes with nice case,strap etc.

Quality:
The fit and finish is good. I wish they would use pearl enlay because I have a real 75 that has it.I'm not sure if the tuners are real true Vintage Schaller tuners,but they will suffice.

Value:
Personally I think the Geddy Lee is better,but I got this bass used ! so.... it is what it is.

Desirability:
It just a Jazz bass

Sound:
I starting to have my suspicions about this bass,I mean it sounds ok, but a true 70's bass has a tighter sound and a fuller growl than this not to mention that the basses of that era weighed @ least 11 lbs and were also made with true Northen Ash.Personally I think the Geddy Lee has the closest sound of the real 70's Jazz bass than this and it's a fraction of the cost !,and I also find it disturbing that the 70's vintage Squier sounds like this bass for which isn't a bad thing especially since it's price a what ? $ 260-270.00 bucks

Ease of Use:
I think that they need to address the pickup situation a litle better,however the playability is real good.

Support:
There ok

Overall:
for what it is it'll due for now

Feature:
This bass came with a really nice case. I appreciate the feel of the neck more than anything. I have small hands (probably because I am a lady!!) and the shape of the neck, plus the slick feel of the fretboard are standout features for me.

Quality:
I have found from much experience with Fender products that their American-made basses really are of excellent quality. I have taken apart several basses, and there is nothing quite like an American Fender for sturdy, dependable craftsmanship. This one is road-proof and pretty at the same time.

Value:
Unfortunately, American-made Fenders tend to run a little pricey, but they have never disapointed me. Therefore I expect to be paying a little more for the good quality which I have come to depend on with Fender.

Desirability:
I didn't really "need" this bass when I bought it; it was one of those things where you walk into a music store and you see something that blows you away. The striking good looks of this '75 was the selling point for me, other than what I already knew of Fender basses from personal experience. Yes, my first thought when I saw this thing was "I Want It" (and I got it, too).

Sound:
I have found that in comparison to the eight other basses that I own, the '75 is right up there in the top two. It compares very closely with a custom-made Carvin that I have, which was a rather expensive peice of work. I believe the sound on this instrument to be exactly what you ask of it. It will cut crisp and snappy for funk style, thick and heavy for hard rock, etc. It hasn't let me down yet, and I am a fussy player. Presently I have it paired with a Mesa/Boogie Big Block 750 head with a 4 x 10 Mesa Powerhouse cab. The sound of this bass with that amp is unbelievable.

Ease of Use:
Again, out of my nine basses, this one rivals my custom Carvin for ease of use and playability. When I am in a hurry during a practice session, I usually will grab the '75 and just PLAY. It is so easy on the hands, relatively lightweight compared to some, (my American Fender P feels heavy as lead sometimes)and just plain FUN!

Support:
For this particular bass, I have not needed support from Fender. I will tell you though, that Fender has given me the best support for my other instruments! I have had very bad customer support with Warwick and Carvin, which is rather disapointing due to the fact that most all of my basses were costly and I expected better.

Overall:
This one is a keeper. I expect to own it for the rest of my life. If it is lost or stolen, believe me, this baby is insured to the hilt and would be replaced with the same model. I have been through the whole "I think I'll try that brand", that's why I have nine basses and counting. This bass, for some reason, is so compatible with the styles of music that I play and record, I don't know what I'd do without it. I love the thing; sound and good-looks, all of it.

Feature:
The features are basic but very functional.

Quality:
The first bass I got had a dead spot on the 7th fret G string. The replacement was better but still needed a bit of tweeking to get it right. I was surprised that a bass of this price would have any dead spots. I've also tried several since at other shops and they all seem to have the same issue.

Value:
Overall it's worth the price.

Desirability:
I wanted another Jazz bass and this one is really nice.

Sound:
The sound is good. It has a good growl with the bridge pickup and softens up with the neck added in. The have a slicht buzz when the strings aren't being touhed but I think that's from the single coil.

Ease of Use:
What could be easier? Volume volume and tone.

Support:
Fender was easy to reach but not much help other than to say "If there is an issue please send it back and we'll replace it if it turns out be a manufactures defect".
