Fender American Deluxe Jazz Bass V (Maple, With Case) Customer Review
This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful.
Sound
It's almost an excellent electric bass, made of premium woods, such as alder and swamp ash and came in 5 (or 6, I can't remember now) striking finishes. Features an active 3-band EQ and two Fender
Features
Of course, the bass comes shipped with premium accessories, such as strings, cables, Allen wrenches, etc. But the active circuitry requires two 9V batteries to drive the 3-band EQ and, sadly, it's almost impossible to play your favorite bass line when the batteries drained. So an active/passive switch can be factory-installed for a more "traditional" passive sound and power preservation. It's quite an ambiguous fact that Fender doesn't think to include a similar one on the American Deluxes (Victor Bailey signature model included). This useful feature was found on the Custom Artist Reggie Hamilton J-Basses, so it can also be available on the models described above.
Quality
Like the other models in the American Deluxe line, the Jazz Bass V is well-made and it stresses the quality of the model, developed from different electric basses from various guitar and bass manufacturers, like Pedulla, Ibanez, Aria, Alembic, Yamaha, Carvin, Ken Smith and Ernie Ball/MusicMan.
Value
American Deluxe models are extremely priceful, so you must acquire enough money first before purchasing one in your local music store.

Most professional artists wanted this marvelous instrument, but for beginners, the American Deluxe Jazz V isn't recommended: it's a practical addition for their setup indeed, but, due to its extremely high price, they must be a little bit rich to pick one!
