Fender American Standard Jazz Bass

http://www.nstuffmusic.com/p-5777-fender-american-standard-jazz-bass-rosewood...

The Fender American Standard Series Jazz Bass has a vintage body radius and contour for a classic vibe and feel. The Jazz Bass's body is rendered in premium ash or alder for optimum tone and sustain. Its rosewood or maple fretboard features detailed fret and nut work. The neck is graphite-reinforced and has rolled edges for a broken-in feel from the get-go. HMV Bridge (high mass vintage) increases sustain, provides punchier tone, beefier looking plates and 3/8" diameter vintage saddles. String height adjustment screws have nylon patches for a tight fit that won t vibrate loose.

A 12-gauge cold rolled steel plate machined brass backstop increases mass and enhances top end. Socket head intonation screws are engineered for a tighter fit, and are now more stable. The J Bass features Fender/Hipshot tuning keys. They work great, and are 30% lighter, minimizing neck dip. Classic 20:1 tuning ratio, cast zinc with aluminum string posts and mounting nuts, and steel clovers. Brass worm gears, steel worm drives.

With a thinner undercoat, the Fender Jazz Bass body breathes easier and has improved sound (more wood influence). Neck pocket paint buildup has been reduced by 40%, greatly improving the wood-to-wood connection/reaction.

What sounds better? Maple fretboard or rosewood?

[NstuffMusic]

@1992Cameron that is totally your personal preference. People like each for various reasons, tone , feel...and the look of them. maple is a little brighter, and rosewood makes your tone warmer. rosewood grabs the strings a little more and maple is a little smoother if you play with vibrato.

Great bass this guy reminds me of shaggy from scooby doo!

@voco900 Duh... It's not about passion or feeling or music anymore... It's not about craftsmanship or putting soul into a bass... It's just about money...

Just a recommendation...it'd be really nice if people would start listing their signal chain for recording these samples. That would really help us know what "this" bass sounds like, taking into consideration whether you ran directly into an interface or if you went through a Neve>LA2A>Distressor then in. I understand the latter is probably unlikely, but it'd still be nice when comparing videos, to know what these basses were going through. Thanks for the videos. Nice bass!

Had very recently bought an American Special, but still had time to return it so tried an Am Stdrd. In fact, a friend of mine who works there tried two Specials and the Standard, since I noticed the Standard had a bit of a bigger, fuller 'beefier' sound, and a slightly more comfortable neck, and when I asked him to try it he said it definitely sounded different. Since I was thinking that I'd like a hard shell case anyway, I went for the Standard. Mind you, the Special is still a great bass too!

@NstuffMusic Thanks for the review. Fret-height could probably have been adjusted, but apart from that, the sound is HUGE. Love it. Shame that they want 1750 Swiss Franks for it here in Switzerland. That's 'bout 1900 dollars. BUT I MUST HAVE IT ^^

@NstuffMusic NOPE!!!!FENDER JAZZ is THE most popular bass used in classic rock by far...I'm not talking about the 80's goofs with big hair and make up..Those are the p bass guys.I'm talking about The real classic rock late 60's and 70's..

[squiresuzuki]

@TheExtrasBand The jazz bass would definitely sound better with hard-rock. The p-bass would sound better with classic rock.

[dcom94]

Can you please tell me what is different between P-Bass and Jazz Bass???
