Advantages: Lovely tones

Disadvantages: Looks a bit dated

This is the Fender bass that I own and swear by.
It cost me £370 last month and it is to replace my battered Marlin Bass that is 11 years old.
The reason i bought it is because im limited to what I can have.
Im left handed so my choice in Basses is limited as they dont make all models. I wanted the slightly cheaper Precision bass but they dont make it in Left hand.
I had to opt for the Jazz bass.
Im glad I did as it has more flexibility in sound than the precision.
It has 2 different pick ups, Selectable by a switch. It has a deep sound on the rear pick up while the front pick up has a punchy, crisp sound. Great for playing funk.
I bought a Metallic Purcple one. Again your colours are limited by being left handed.
These guitars are also made in 3 different countries with 3 different standards of guitar.
To read more about the 3 standards, read my opinion on Precision basses.
My Mexican Jazz bass is a 4 string.
They also make a custom 5 string model and also a fretless model.
Its a great sound with a great price.
