The Fender Deluxe Active Jazz Bass V is 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. This Fender Jazz Bass is traditional yet modern.
This bass is a beast! It's basically a hot rodded jazz with American electronics and pickups. A 5 string jazz with lots of versatility. The sound youwant is in this bass. Lots of power! This bass sounds like a bass. When the back picup is favored or soloed it growls like an animal. Both pups on you get a well balanced mix of thump and growl. Neck pup soloed you get old school thud and boom. This bass is worth every penny. It's BIG and a tad Heavy but thats what gives it it's BIG and Heavy sound. Very well built, excellent craftsmanship. Smooth neck, and no sharp frets. I took the advice of some of the other reviewers and put on a set of strap locks. Changed the strings to DR SunBeams and did my own set-up on it. Plays awesome! I LOVE IT!
This bass is a really nice upgrade from a starter like the Squier P Bass i started with. I really like the feel of this bass, but the top strap knob has a tendency to loosen itself, requireing constant tightening, but other than that this bass is flawless. Everytime i pull it out of its soft case, it is always nearly perfectly in tune. Fender really steped up this time. Bass is definatly worth the money.
I would not have believed it in a dream. I got mine today and Fender got it right. Intonation and setup straight out of the box was great and there was even a battery in the compartment. Not to say it can't be tweaked, but I'd play a gig with it right now. Played it 5 hours tonight. I wouldn't have put it down except for that day job I have to attend on a fairly regular basis to pay the bills. If you are a working musician with not a lot of cash to throw at a guitar, get this one. I have an old hardshell case I got with another cheeeeep Peavey bass that is a Fender case I will use until I can get a nice tweed one. also will install strap locks. I don't wanna be dropping it. I lost my 1980 Rickenbacker 4001 to a stage accident a few years ago (the Peavey was a backup) and this guitar makes me forget about the Rick. The tone is better than I ever remember that Rick having. There are so many tones just waiting for you to enjoy in the guitar. unbelievable. I got mine for less than 750.. coupon for 15% off. What a steal. I should go to jail. :) Get it. It's a beast.
