Fender Review: Jazz Bass USA

Fender Electric Guitars

History:

Purchase: Bought new USA Jazz bass about 5 years ego, cost AU$1300

What I Like About This Fender Jazz Bass USA: Sound is good and typical for this type of bass guitar.

What I Do NOT Like About The Fender Jazz Bass USA: When I bought it, I found the trust rod was jamed and guitar needed new neck. This is a second new Fender guitar I bought with bad neck.

Fender Jazz Bass USA Quality Rating: I guess for the price of their instruments, Fender USA can't afford quality control guy at the end of the line right? It was covered by warranty but that is no exuse to let it go out of factory like that.

Review Summary: Good guitar no doubt but the bad neck was very disappointing specially when it comes to name Fender USA. I'd say it is quiet embarrassing actually. I want to buy new Fender Tele now but worry if the money spend is worth the risk of getting yet another possible lemon.

Rating of this Fender product: 3

Fender DG8 - Bottom line. I like this guitar. It came ready to play right out of the box. the look and finish is pretty nice. comparable to the more expensive model fenders like the Dg20 or Dg21. It is a wonderful guitar for beginners. the value pack is great for...

Fender Bassman 200 - Poor quality, inept service available, Also very thin sounding bass on the bottom end next to similar 200 watt amplifiers available for a slightly higher price range like the Ampeg BA115 HP that I bought new to replace this "thing". I've owned a ba...

Fender Squier Bullet Bass - This bass has served me well for 13 yrs, and is nearly 20 yrs. old. Customizing with new pickups etc. is a reasonable option. I have seen another bullet bass that had a big Epiphone EB-3 type humbucker installed. Bullet basses may eventually acquire ...
