Squier by Fender Vintage Modified Jazz Bass Fretless, 3 Tone Sunburst Reviews
| 33 of 33 people found the following review helpful  Amazing Bass for the $!!!, By This review is from: Squier by Fender Vintage Modified Jazz Bass Fretless, 3 Tone Sunburst (Electronics)  See Video. You cannot find a bass under $300 that will play like this - this is Jaco tone right out of the box! I tweaked the truss rod a bit (lowered the action) and voila! The Duncan Pups sound really good too! I have been playing for 30 years - I have played and owned the best of the best basses including Fender Custom Shop and Fodera - you will not be disappointed in this instrument - Fender really outdid themselves on this inexpensive little Axe. Almost all the Harmony Central reviews are all 9 or 10's! BTW - I am playing thru a Markbass 1X12 combo - recorded with the external Mic on my iPhone - just laying near the amp. That Jaco Looks, that jaco sound!, By H B (Hialeah, Fl,USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Squier by Fender Vintage Modified Jazz Bass Fretless, 3 Tone Sunburst (Electronics) This bass must be the closest to a Jaco Pastorius bass sound I've ever heard for the price!It sounds very 'fendery' meaning it has some bright in there! The tone pot also sounds great to make the bass sound more mellow! It looks like a vintage, and for the price it really does a great job! I would definitely recommend this as a primary bass for beginners, even more advanced players. And believe it or not, but I would advise this bass even to pro's as an inexpensive backup bass, or one you can take to those rainy mud festivals to play! This bass belongs in the $400-600 category; and I've heard some +$1000 basses sounding worse than this one! Compared to my Fender Jazz Bass, this one sounds a tiny bit harsher (easily muffled by an eq), due to it's poly- neck. A Poly neck comes very close to a graphite neck, but produces slightly more harsh ~2-4kHz frequencies, than the graphite (4-6kHz); and less warm than a wooden neck (very... Read more Wonderful bass, By This review is from: Squier by Fender Vintage Modified Jazz Bass Fretless, 3 Tone Sunburst (Electronics) I am a classical musician, so I mainly play upright bass. I was interested in getting an electric just to try, use, and maybe jam on (I like a wide variety of music), so I looked into buying a fretless, as I much prefer the organic feel and sound of the instrument. So, for christmas I asked for a fretless with no expectations in mind but boy was I blown away! For the cheapest fretless bass we could find, it has an excellent sound quality, is easy to pick up and play, and is fairly comfortable already for someone like me who had never tried electric before. Thankfully everything was set when I got the bass, and I did not have to learn to adjust it. I doodle around at home unamped all the time, but it shines especially when I play it in the jazz band.Overall an excellent purchase! I recommend it highly. |
