Sound: The complete bass players bass. I have played bass over 40 years and this is the business.Pay me the money and with this bass I can play what you want. I use a Carvin R1000 amp and 4x10 carvin cab. The sound is sweet and Fender have sorted out the dead spot which their older models were renowned for on the G string. I had an original Leo Fender Musicman and this guitar is as good if not better. Feature: I bought the bass from new 6 years ago and it is a pleasure to have.The maple neck and fret board feels so good to the hand. It is a lighter in weight than other models. The equaliser helps to cover all mediums and pickups are so responsive. My only complaint is it is awkward to change batteries for the equaliser, make sure you have plenty of spare batteries. Ease of Use: This bass will work with any good amp. It does take time to get used to the settings but it is like riding a bike once you've learned it becomes second nature. this is a session musician dream.Play country play funk, hammer pop this baby can do it all. No need for the "Special guitar" for that special sound. Quality: Fender used to be renowned for the bum notes on the G string. This does not happen with this bass. It is well put to gether and works. I heard some heads talk about the cheap tuning nuts and the quality not in the guitar. I don't no where they are coming from, the tuner works and instead of a weight around your neck you have a fantastic bass axe. Value: This guitar is the deal for any bass player and good value compared to other manufacturers Manufacturer Support: Since buying my bass I have had no need to contact the maker. It has worked perfectly for me since day one. My buddy is a guitar tech and other than adjusting the neck I have no other complaints. The Wow Factor: Having this guitar is like having the love of one's life. Very pleasing to the eye and delightful to hold and play. Overall: Hopefully this guitar will be with me until i can't play and my grandchildren can have the pleasure in the future. This guitar is as good as any custom made. I have played many basses but this stands alone as the near complete article.

SPOTLIGHT REVIEW

VERIFIED BUYER

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

Sound: One of the best Jazz Bass osunds you can find. Can do Marcus Miller, Jaco, Larrt Grahan and everything in between. The new SNC pickups are super sensitive and dynamic - notes jump out from your fingers - very sensitive to technique and nuances. It is a modern sound, but with by cutting the highs with the treble knob, you can make things nice a mellow. Feature: Preamp is awesome - harware is top-notch. I only wish for an easier battery compartment. It takes two screws and a tighly cut lid to get to the batteries, which are set very tight inside the battery compartment. And there is no active bypass is the batteries die. Ease of Use: See above. Quality: Very good. The frets stick out a little from the side and needed a little filing, but in general the fretjob is good and it allows for super low action. Quality overall is very good. Value: Sound as good or better a basses costing thousands more (like Sadowsky, etc.) in my opinion. Manufacturer Support: Fender has a bad reputation for service, but never have needed it. The Wow Factor: I want a second one as a backup. Overall: After owning Sadowskys, Foderas, Smiths, MTDs, etc. this is the perfect bass for ME. I absolutely love it and it makes me play better and sound better than any other bass.
