Fender American Deluxe Series American Deluxe Jazz Bass® Electric Bass Guitar

Pros: Great Versatile Sound, Great Vintage Look, High Build Quality, Etc...

Cons: None

The Bottom Line: The Fender American Deluxe Jazz Bass is a piece of artwork. There aren't many basses like it out there. Try it out for yourself, and see how you like it!

Review: The Fender American Deluxe Jazz Bass is what got me to start playing bass. It all started one day when I was spending the afternoon with my family. We were driving around and saw a garage sale. So we stopped by, and I was bored... I've been to garage...

Pros: look, sound, quality, playability

Cons: price

The Bottom Line: Get one if you can. Jazz bass won't get any better than this.

Review: I'm really sad. From 1995 I've been playing ESP Standard 5-string J-bass and it's a really good instrument. I had a chance to play about a dozen of different Fender Jazzes, but all of them were not as good as my ESP. I was very snobish about my bass and...

Pros: Great electronics, finish, case

Cons: None that I know of.

Review: Just a quick look at the ash top and you know this one is a winner. Take a bass like the J-bass, and fix all of its problems and this is what you get. Plenty of punch with its pickups without all of the single-coil hiss. Active tone controls (3 way)...

Pros: Quality Product from Fender USA.

Cons: This Bass is not cheap.

The Bottom Line: I would recommend this for the Advanced Bassist of the Jazz Musician's, because nothing beats a Fender©.

Review: This bass is a High Quality Bass, I have learned in my troubles that you cannot always sacrifice Sound for the Cost. The Fender American Jazz Bass has a number of features which help make it one of the best basses known to man. If you are in a school...

Pros: Good Old Jazz Bass Sound

Cons: Kind of Pricey

Review: This new incarnation of the famous Fender Jazz bass is a monster! It combines all that originally made Fender the premier name in electric basses - Look, feel, playability, and of course THE SOUND ! I get the feeling while playing this axe that I used to...

Pros: good sounding

Cons: 3 knobs

Review: Its the best bass that fender makes. I like the style of it i used to play one i now play ibanez 5 strings. The pickups are great sounding for a great tone. The action is great only every 6 months i would suggest getting the action fixed. If you want a...

Pros: Good hard-rock sound

Cons: Not suited well to fingerstyle playing

Review: I have been playing a 4-string, bottom-of-the-jar bass for about 5 years now, and I'm currently in the process of upgrading to a much nicer 5-string model. I've played probably almost 2 dozen 5-string basses so far, and the Fender American Deluxe Jazz V...

Pros: Good sound

Cons: None

The Bottom Line: Great Starter Bass

Review: In terms of sound the Jazz Bass Deluxe, has a rather centrist sound. No real character to speak of, but that's exactly what I was looking for. Granted, the Dimarzios don't help in getting to a vintage sound, but the stock pickups were even more bland....
