Excellent and smooth, oh yea

Date of Review:  Feb 8, 2001
The Bottom Line: An excellent bass - built very well, plays very well... but there is inconsistency in the production wiring quality, try before you buy.
Review: It's the purple 5 string Fender Jazz Standard, made in beautiful downtown Mehico. I've owned this lovely piece for about 3 years now, it hath served me extremely well - and the price for which I purchased it is unbeatable for the quality of the...

Left Handed should not make a Difference

Date of Review:  Sep 4, 2001
The Bottom Line: If you are a Small Left Handed person... I would look elsewhere. Otherwise it's great.
Review: To put my review into perspective I'll have to start by saying that I am a 5'5 110lbs left handed girl. It took me months to find a left handed bass so when I finally found it I bought it without much thought. I had played on the right handed basses...

Fender is my choice of bass.

Date of Review:  Nov 21, 2003
Review: Fender: A bass I aspired to get since I started playing at 19 years old. Five years later I have four five stringers, all by Fender. The nice, warm tone is soooooo..... Uh? Well, nice. What would be better? A neck-thru version with ALL the chrome...

Cheap but good

Date of Review:  Nov 6, 2000
Review: I'm more of a upright bass player so I didn't want to spend a lot of money on my electric bass when I went searching.

That's when I found the Mexican 5 string Jazz bass. It has a beautiful rich sound, and no buzzing like some other basses...

Great Bass for low $$$

Date of Review:  Jun 20, 2002
The Bottom Line: You will not find a better bass for the $300 you can buy one for.
Review: I bought this bass after playing a Yamaha for several years. The neck was one of the first things that I noticed when I picked up the bass. It has fantastic action, and the long scale length really helps the tone and sustain. I will never buy a...

Lots of Bass for little $$$

Date of Review:  Apr 23, 2002
The Bottom Line: I would recommend this to anyone, especially starters. Its affordable, comfortable, nice sound, and can be found anywhere
Review: If you are a beginner at the bass, or simply just looking for a new or replacement, a Fender Jazz is what you want. The looks are classic and attractive, and the sound is great for what you pay. This is still a lower end Fender, but it is a quality...

Evulution without loss of character.

Date of Review:  May 14, 2002
The Bottom Line: It is a tasty evolution of the classic sixties Jazz Bass, and while it could have been improved, it does represent value for money, is well built and sounds great.
Review: Fender USA's most recent version of their standard bass sets
new levels of build quality,sound and playability.

Introduced two years ago, this American Series Jazz Bass
preserves the look, sound and most of the vibe of the...

Undoubtedly the best bass I have played with!

Date of Review:  Jul 24, 2001
The Bottom Line: The word "Fender" already makes this sound like an extremely nice bass guitar.
Review: I have played with many bass guitars throughout this past year, but I do not think any of these basses are as good as the Fender American Standard Jazz Bass. I have played with Squier basses (dislike the sound quality), Yamaha basses (produces a...

Not the best J

Date of Review:  Jun 5, 2001
The Bottom Line: The bass is relatively cheap, but not worth spending money.
Review: I was looking for a fretless bass, and as soon as I'm playing fretted jazz 5-string, the first thing I was checking out was fender jazz fretless.
Well, I have a bad luck to live in Jerusalem, which is the most beautiful - and today probably the...

Gotta have one

Date of Review:  May 18, 2001
The Bottom Line: every serious bassist needs one. it's got a feel not to be found on any other bass and is versatile enough to let every player sound unique.
Review: one of the other reviewers did a great job describing history and other details so i'll keep my review brief. this is my first american standard but second jazz bass. i've owned a couple precisions, one deluxe jazz and a telecaster bass. i also own...
