The intro is perfect. Love the “temp” feel. Keep it!
Reason no 4 is the same as……????
P/J Bass is the Best ! ????
I have a stingray, a p bass and a jazz, for some reason i'm a lot more comfortable with the p bass neck
P bass rules!
I am a jazz bass kind of guy, but as versatility any active bass will way more versatile, lets not even talk about a G&L L2000
i just reckon theyre a bit ugly and I don't like how every single bass is shaped like them
Great stuff! And you can find a TON of iconic players from virtually all genres using the Jazz bass, which is inspiring for a lot of people. Which model is yours?
I just wished the jazz bass had 21 frets
Great video with awesome explanations! You're certainly leading people who are looking to buy their first bass the right way. It is quite sad to see people buy instruments that work against them and quite just because of that. If I may add another reasons to buy a Jazz Bass instead of a Precision Bass, it's reliability and a different take on the playability. The P-Bass neck width was not really an issue, it was rather the body shape that turned it into a 10 fret bass for me. Not great for someone playing neoclassical, classical and metal with lead bass. Some P-Basses suffer from a dead E string, it just sounds empty, has nothing but the initial click as the string hits the fretboard and the note is weak and bland. Some also suffer from dead D and G strings – they have the tone, but are substantially quieter than A and E, which means that they don't get as much "juice" from the amp and you're heard less right when you want to be heard more. I bought a Fender Player P-Bass online, which was a terrible mistake. I got a piece with both these issues at the same time, leaving me with only one good sounding string. It was a nightmare, I've tried everything apart from changing the pickup; whether it be a setup, different strings, pickup height adjustment, you name it. It just didn't work and I found myself glaring over the beauty of the instrument while playing my cheap trusted DiMavery satirical knockoff of a jazzbass. This applies to every instrument though – make sure you play the instrument before buying it, not just the same model, play the particular instrument you'll be getting. I've turned down a few instruments I knew were good, but they were set up terribly or had old strings. Phrases like "It's just the setup" or "It's just the strings" are there because you're all excited about the instrument, and in the off-chance that you're not right, you'll be stuck with an instrument you will only ever look at. Fortunately for me, I traded the bass for a Sire Marcus Miller V7, 5 string swamp ash model. I just wanted to try it and move on, but now there's a sweet spot in my heart for this bass and I don't plan on letting go of it.
Here's some constructive criticism about the video: I've gone through many basses and none of the points really make sense to me as the reason why you would only want a Fender Jazz Bass. Sure, it is a great instrument, I love my jazz basses and you are certainly not wrong by any means, I just don't see it as the only bass you could describe exactly this way. There are far better basses (even jazz basses) than the Fender Jazz Bass, even within or below their respective price categories. The points I disagree with the most are versatility and upgradability. The Jazz Bass sure is versatile, but there are basses that go above and beyond – humbuckers with true coil split, 24 fret basses with really accessible frets, you name it. The upgradability is something I agree with, but disagree with the counterarguments. The Precision bass is not as hard to modify as I understood from your video – the output jack is held on by a single nut, and so are the pots. It's not that hard to disassemble and modify.
i think this would apply to any Jazz bass. I enjoy my Fender J's but also love rocking my Lakland DJ4 and my Dingwall Super J.
I think the best bass you can buy is a P Bass with a J Bass pickup in the bridge. It sounds really nice and there are models like these in both fender and squier if you're a beginner. Traditional P Basses only have one pickup at the neck and having an additional pickup from another bass adds different tones to it.
Though I will say, I preffer the J Bass shape, it just looks so smooth!
Can it play tame impala?
I owned a Fender American Professional Jazz Bass and didn’t like it at all. It was hard to pluck, the neck wasn’t perfectly screwed and didn’t fit exactly how it was supposed to, the pickups weren’t that good… sold it and now I am really really happy with my Sandberg California. It’s also a passive jbass with a thiner and slightly smaller body, the neck is great, is easier to play…so much better
Fender Jazz Bass is the worst. It has 2 volume knobs. Sire V Bass has 1 volume knob.
I from israle
and you play bass so good????
You gut the groov????????
Makes me wanna get a Fender Jazz Bass lol
I agree that the jazz is one of the most versatile basses out there (but i think a yamaha BB is little bit more versatile)..i have one too and i play everything on it…but in my opinion (maybe it depends on my cheap 15 year old bass) the jazz has a little bit of growl missing in terms of P-Bass sound…and that growl is what i want so i save money for a cool P-Bass…and because i mostly use the neck PU on the Jazz..so losing some of the versatility to get the sound i am looking for is ok for me.
Would rather a Marcus miller
I say keep the intro ????
You'd love the Fender Boxer Series. It has the jazz neck, jazz bridge pickup plus the precision pickup. Super versatile (moreso than standard jazz imo) and beautiful on looks. Also if you don't like P body there's the Aerodyne (the old black ones, not the new series)
is this the player model?
The sad thing is I'm broke AF
so I'mma go with Squire Classic Vibes 60's Jazz bass for now
