  • I have a 2004 Mexican Jazz that I installed the KickAss bridge on. I have owned many basses from Peavey Dyna Unity to a bought new 1975 Fender Jazz. The Nex Jazz is my favorite! Great bridge!

  • Lovely tone! ❤
    This beautiful red J-Bass wasn't made in Mexico City, as you mentioned. All MIMs are built in Ensenada, Baja California, since late 80's.

    Just like Japanese Fenders, the quality of these basses depends on the year they were built on.

  • Great video…

    Thanks.

    I need your book…

    There's a lot to learn about basses…

    Boy, it's worth it…

    A good bass with a good set of strings is PRICELESS.

  • Einen Widerspruch muss ich einlegen, der obere Tonabnehmer sitzt in der Mittelposition, nicht in der Halsposition.
    Aber das meine Meinung, kein Fakt.
    Ich finde aber, dass ein Rick 400X einen Tonabnehmer in der Halsposition hat, der J-Bass nicht.

  • I just grabbed a 2016 MIM Flea Jazz Bass. It's very well built, very close to the 1982 Fender Fullerton '62 Jazz Bass reissue I used to own years ago. Maybe the quality control is better on the Fender MIM artist models?

  • Good stuff!
    Would have loved to hear the bass on the same recording before the work was done, just for a simple comparison.
    Very glad the MIM basses recently returned to rosewood fingerboards.

  • Problem with shimming neck is it raises string stiffness, tho not raising tension. Love the string space adjustment on that bridge and the sustain, but had to ditch it for a gotoh because I didnt like the extra stiffness from the shim. Only reason I had to shim was the high mass bridge wouldn't fit. Action was crazy low, but if I put in the high mass bridge I couldn't get the action low enough.
