Mine has tge maple neck…i will do upgrades according to play effort …im new …my squire is white with a maple fret board …new amp then upgrades
I like to have longer demos (please)
Hey guys,,,I have a mim jazz & p-bass and the same in squires AND LOVE ALL 4 ,,,THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO ????????
Just bought a used Fender Jazz Bass (MIM), and it's way better than the how the Squier Jazz Bass I was playing for a short while. The neck and frets are much better, the pickups and knobs are better as well. I would skip on buying a Squier and get a used MIM bass
I swapped the standard bridge out on my 2002 Mexican Jazz Bass for a Badass and the difference was colossal… Everything was so much better.. Very easy to do, screw holes are all the same, just a like-for-like swap… Well worth it.. ????
The American, you can hear with the pick on the neck pickup, immediately that it must be active, or just a higher quality pickup, as the tone is more crisp and clear. That said, I'm a P fan. Never have liked a J tone for myself but plenty of bands I enjoy use J basses. Give me a P with a bridge J and everyone is happy.
You've also got the various Squier models, etc. The one thing I 've found about Squier is that you usually have less options for materials. Maple fretboards tend to be less common on Squier basses unless you get a particular signature model. That said, Japanese models don't get out of Japan much anymore and that's a bummer. The Squiers that used to come out of South Korea were the bee's knees.
The sound of the Squiers and Fenders far overpass the American units. The American units are brittle and harsh sounding.
gosh so much talking
The Squire was very impressive. It had all the mojo.
Worst review ever man too much mumble jumble man
Play damn it stop tslking
have anybody seen the 24 frets quilt deluxe jazz by fender? made in Korea?
2 years ago Squier and other cheap brands became trash. They install plastic tuners and plasticine anchor rods.
Well in the end the American Jazz sounds the best.And looks really good. I'll take that one.
MIM Jazz sounds good.
The MIM bass looks pretty good. Waiting to hear it. Soon everyone will have a bass.
The American Jazz costs more?
That was very useful. Thanks a lot guys.
Well even before this starts I can tell you that Squier doesn’t figure as it’s made in China and that’s one place I’m not putting any money into
Just bought a second hand MIM. Im doing some mods on it. Custom pickups, eventually bridge and tuners. I think it really comes down to budget, preference and the player. There is a bit of muddy waters with all the different lines of the same product which sucks. But material these days are expensive, and these companies wanna make it attainable….and make more money.
Good grief! What's with all the talking in this video that's 32 minutes long ??!! The question at the beginning of the video was what's the difference between it's a difference between all those spaces but instead we got a lot of talk about what was similar about them ????????
The time on the clock never changed,,,,3:00
I have a MEXICAN and fitted a BADASS bridge… Transforms the bass, just takes it to another level.. Get a MEXICAN…
Make the Squier in America and it will cost more. Why do you think it's made in Indonesia if not because of the cheaper labor force.
After much looking a soul searching I just bought a Player (MIM) J-Bass. Absolutely love it. It hasn't had a proper set up yet, and it still has the factory springs, but it's a joy to play.
That jazz bass at the beginning sounds too good and it looks like it has a P bass neck too
way too much mouth flapping. come on.! get to what matters.
Professional instruments are for "pros" their criteria certainly isn't based solely around the sound, that is a hobbyist criteria. Hell who can't make ANY bass sound good on a computer these days? Regular heavy professional use requires a far broader range of requirements than some hobbyist. These requirements are where the cheap garbage proves its level. Far more bedroom producers calling themselves pro's, then regular traveling, gigging, musician pro's from the past. Find one of them and you will know what the extra cost is all about, and more importantly easily justified.
How did these guys get me watch a 40 minute ad?
I have a 30 year old Mex Jazz…its like a Nokia phone. Beat up beyond all recognition but still plays and sounds beautiful.
Theyre all great.
Captain Onderton talking about Older wood
The red guy is a paiiiiiiinnn!!!
As an engineer most active basses ive used sound too clacky? Nice and bright but clacky if thats a word?
The American made has the best pickups but the other 2 are quite respectable.
Stepped away from the renewable wood issue right quick! lol!
Would love to see you guys make another jazz video but with 5 strings
Mexi is a good blend of great sound and budget friendly, I’ll gladly take that one
There is a clear difference between the American and the rest. Squier and Mexican sound pretty close. Anyways, all of them sound good. If you ask me, I'll probably go with the Mexican. Great sound,, better quality and materials overall, (compared to the Squier) and almost half price of the American. I think it's the most balanced choice. BUT..if you have the dough, just go for the American. It will never disappoint you and is an instrument that you can keep and play for your whole life.
I own a Squier vintage modified jaguar bass, which im still in love with after 6 years. Later ive gotten a MIM fender Jazz, which sounds just amazing!
Id say, the squier wins in playability, and the MIM jazz wins in sound – That said – I still find the sound of my squier, just amazing! – Specially the p-pickup!
Dont get fooled by fender's branding – You can buy a squier and maybe even upgrade it, and get way more bang for your buck.
blindfold challenge always tells the truth ….
It's so sad that people talk about cheaper instruments with such an arrogance …. You know that you can modify the hell out of it !!!!
Some people cannot afford for a first bass to buy an american standard …
I want to see a stingray shootout with a sub ray. A ray34 and a stingray special
Squier basses are very good especially for the value for money. My squiers if aren't equal to, blow mim fenders out of the water
