Look No Further
Fender is known as one of the best manufacturers of music equipment in the world. The Fender Deluxe Active Jazz Bass is a perfect example of why. It took me months of searching for find a bass guitar that had the perfect tone and best overall sound available. I looked at and tried many other bass guitars including several other Fender's, but this one was the BEST. It allows for the best control of sound with the pots and depending what kind of rig you have, you can get the smoothest richest sound out. The construction of this bass is what takes the cake. The stock pickups are good. The only reason I would change them if for personal preference. The neck is nice and comfortable, and the action is perfect. the only thing I would change is the stock strings. I would change them out to whatever strings give you the best sound for what type of music you play. If you want to play Jazz, Blues and Classic rock, let me recommend DR Strings Marcus Miller Fat Beams. Believe me. If you want to play bass, THIS is the one you want to play.

MIM...means they cut some corners
I've had one of these basses for about 2 years now, and I love it. It has the best tone of any stock bass I own. I have another Jazz that I made into a Active deluxe copy I loved it so much. I suggest that anyone looking for a great playing, great sounding bass to stop right here......Just put a new bridge on it. Mine had incorrect set screws for the saddle height and my action would fall, leaving my strings stuck to the pickups. So, just be a lil weary of the Mexican assembly and have it set up properly when you get it, and change the bridge.

The best
I went to guitar center last night, and spent 3 hours playing this baby. It sounds amazing, and the knobs give a large variety of sounds. I was playing it off just a little Peavy 15w amp and it sounded awesome. The thing that most impressed me was when set correctly, just playing an open E gave me a meaty, funky sound that blew me away. When Itried some slap and pop on it, it performed beautifully, even when I broke out some Flea beats. Overall, I would recommend this bass to anyone who wants a fairly inexpensive bass with great quality.

Excellent Bass
I have been looking for a better bass than my Fender Standard P-Bass, and this search ended with this bass. I looked at all sorts of Fenders - from the standards to the American series. In my opinion, I found that this bass is better than the American Jazz basses in quality, workmanship, and sound. Everything about it is great, and I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a great quality bass for a lesser price than the American series.

Great Value - Good Sound
I own a Mexican Jazz Fretless which I've had for about 8 years and it's been a great sounding bass. I wanted a fretted model and checked out a number of different Jazz basses, including the Marcus Miller. I can get that sound with the Deluxe, and I like the Alder body and Rosewood more than the Ash of that bass. I bought a Black one last week and it needed a little set-up like filing down the nut grooves to get the action a little lower. The Active EQ really helps in sound shaping.
A great value for the money!
