[SimonStett]

@Bass5or6

You certainly don't suck. I'm actually saving some money to buy this bass! Are you still satisfied with it? It seems like most of the sound on the video comes from the bass' acoustics, so you're not really able to hear what it sounds like! Thanks for the post though!

[Bass5or6]

@SimonStett

YES I LOVE MY FENDER JAZZ!!! its been a great weapon to my playing....this vid really doesnt show how great it sounds...but I'm in the process of making some live gig vid...so people can see....

[SimonStett]

@Bass5or6

Cool! I'll probably get mine in a month or so, can't wait!

[Bass5or6]

@SimonStett

Great...you should put up a vid once you get it

[fitotote]

@SimonStett dude...very sorry for you...I have a brand new for you right now....with a lot of gorund\buzz issues....be prepared to receive a faulty but expensive bass

[SimonStett]

@fitotote

Okay, I'm sorry for you then ! Mine is perfectly fine, No buzz or bad frets and the intonation is perfect!

[masacara86]

it sounds like schecter to me :)

[Bass5or6]

@masacara86

WOW! REALLY?

[masacara86]

@Bass5or6 that time, I was hear lot of schecter :D

too much influence of it..

[oznbtb]

I am just thinking about buying the same color with yours.. Do you think that is it charming and worth to buy it =)



[Bass5or6]

@oznbtb

YES SIR! I think you should get one...the only thing is you will have to adjust it for your perf......on this vid...i took it straight out and played it.....but now the strings are lower with no rattling

[jung021]

hey when you play youre bass in active mode, is it really noiseless? I have hearing a lot of buzzing and I'm wondering if I have a faulty pickup. Thanks

[Bass5or6]

@jung021

no....its kinda nosiy...but the pick up are fine....you will get use to it.....its the Fender Sound!

[jung021]

@Bass5or6 thanks for getting back to me! I play it through a noise gate to kill the sound static. keep on grooving baby

[byjuu246]

Does your bass have

a humming problem

of any kind!?

[Bass5or6]

@byjuu246

Yes...it does...why got a trick to stop it?

[byjuu246]

@Bass5or6 Not yet. I'm just asking because I've been doing research on that model of bass; and while all are enjoying their instrument, some are complaining about the hum. You see, I am four months into the waiting process for my bass(a natural) and since that thing cost so much and is suppose to be noise free, I'm just hoping that will not be an issue for me. Whenever I get my bass, should I come across the humming issue when I solve it I'll let you know what I did. Thanks

[Bass5or6]

@byjuu246

ok...just let me know

[perriu77]

@byjuu246

Hi Just got mine after 9 months:

on passive mode mine is completely silent while in active mode you might hear a little "shhhh" only when you don't play.

For the rest many people say that Fender do not deliver the same quality of the old basses....it might be but this days to get better than this you need to spend much much more.

At the end I think my bass sounds really nice and it feels great; moreover to have the similar specs you need a Marcus Miller or a Custom shop.....

[Bass5or6]

@perriu77

Congrats...but your right...in passive mode it sounds GREAT!!! It's just that in active...it to noisy!!! I wish I could have gotten a old Fender Jazz bass....thats the sound that i grew up loving...not this one....I'm really thinking about selling it.....

[perriu77]

@Bass5or6

To tell you the truth I recorded last Sunday and I did it in passive mode.......the active mode is something you use live and in certain conditions: the active sounds modern I can compare it with some Esp! an other thing to mention I have a maple neck and fretboard on an Ash body, I tested also the Alder body and I can tell there is difference.

Still I'll stay with this bass cause I could not have the same features without calling the custom shop ( that is out of discussion ).

Ciao

[Bass5or6]

@perriu77

I may or may not keep it....and the Ash body and maple fretboard really does make a difference.....ill keep trying to get that sound....thanks for all the input...stay in touch....post a vid...with the new bass

[stix2002]

Yes sirrrrrr, I love it....my Squire's going to sound a little like that soon, once I get those Delanos and Bart pre in it.

[Bass5or6]

@stix2002

Well I'm only trying to keep up with you....and if I can do that...i think I'll be straight....

[digloproductions]

Great playing and bass. Love the sound, but the only problem I have with the '11 deluxe is the pups are noisy. They suppose to be noiseless, but all the one's I'ver tried were to noisy. I can stand some noise, but this sound more like a wiring problem, not pup problem. But, I know you got a winner.

Also, you still have the Peavey bass?

[Bass5or6]

@digloproductions

Yeah their kinda noisy...and the actions is higher than i like...but its that GREAT FENDER sound....plus it depends on the strings.....

[brickenskye]

they got 2011's out now?  Been waiting just over 4 months for my 2010 4 string. Maybe it'll be "vintage" by the time it comes in................

[Bass5or6]

@brickenskye

4 months...where did you order it from....

[brickenskye]

@Bass5or6

Delaware to save on tax, the 4 string "wine transparent" one. I see them on ebay sometimes but not in that color, just "natural" and "sunburst". Good playing man

[byjuu246]

@brickenskye Have you gotten

your bass yet? I'm 4 months past

due waiting for my bass too! I'm

trying my best not to ask for

my money back since I've

already put half down on it!!!!

[Bass5or6]

@byjuu246

yes i have mine....dont cancel...its worth it!!!

[brickenskye]

@byjuu246 Not yet, ordered it late august, was originally told november, now told this month.......so maybe by next august? I do know what the problem was however, paint supplier went out of business, Fender is putting out some funky colored guitars that aren't quite right. Supposedly they're at least getting the american line correct before they're sent out. I put 1/2 down also, I'm told it will be worth the wait. Not looking forward to any hum problem though, that would really suck.

[jspain61]

We need to get you coming through your gear and recorded by the soundcard

[jspain61]

Bro I dropped Fenders, I had two of them one Mexican and one American could not get a low action to save my life. They have that good vintage sound though. That one sounds like alder.

[Bass5or6]

@jspain61 Yeah man the action is Soooooo high..but the trick I found out is Peavey strings

I lower the actions and the strings don't rattle...I think it's because their Thermal-fused. No dead spots or loose winds.

[89Kele]

That's nice.

[Bass5or6]

@89Kele

Thanks
