The Fender Deluxe Active Jazz Bass has been upgraded with modern features to give the working musician a versatile, sweet-playing instrument at a reasonable price. It has the comfortable modern C-neck profile, medium-jumbo frets, and Vintage Noiseless pickups with active 3-band EQ combined with the standard volume and pan. Traditional yet modern.
I have had this bass for a solid 4 years and the only addition I need is a 5 string bass for low tone because this bass does everything I need. First buying it, I noticed that playing slap lines would ridiculously easily lower my G string and make the action so low that the string would stick to the pickups. The pickups that came with it originally were nice with the active controls but I needed something a little better in that department too. With the addition of Seymor Duncan Bass Lines pickups and a Leo BA2 bridge, this thing is amazing. With a fresh set of strings and the pickup selector turned back to the rear, the active tone combined with the rock solid bridge gives incredible tone. I played passive basses before this one, and once going active, I'm never turning back and neither will you.
Sure you may need to tweek one of these basses to fit your preferences but bang for the buck my opinion is that this is one of the best guitars you can own this is my second i just got a black one i love the action and the ease of tone control between songs if you are looking for tone and a solid platform here it is so what about the strings i prefer rotosound jazz77 bottom line i regretted the loss of the first one and my fingers are happy again i have much more expensive guitars and this one rolls with them i generally set up all my guitars my way so dont be turned away from a great peice by KNITPICKERS
I just bought this beauty yesterday, since the moment I saw it I fell in love with its sound. The finish is great, it has a punch Ive never heard from any other bass. I find it pretty much similar to the marcus miller bass tone. You wont miss it with this bass. Im gonna change the strings and just lower a bit the 1st and 2nd strings to make the action more comfortable. Great buy!
