Highly recommend this bass! It's the best of both world of a precision and jazz setup. You can play any style with this bass.
Fender Bass Jazz project almost done!
So, I completely redid my fender jaguar bass. It's now passive with a stacknob jazz setup, seymour duncan pickups, a babicz fullcontact bridge, and a hipshot ...
A quick run-through of the Big Ear NYC Woodcutter. This is one of the best straightforward Rat clones I've ever played through. I'm using Fender USA Jaguar ...
it is really nice. I want to a/b it with the MXR Bass dist.
Fender American Deluxe Jazz Bass V - Sound Review

Nice review and good job playing the same thing so we could actually hear
the exact differences in tonality at different settings!! Your bass sounds
very nice. The only thing that has kept me away from 5 string Fenders is
that i haven't played one where i didn't think the B string felt to wooly
and not taught enough. I can hear that with your bass on your demo as well.
Everything else sounds awesome!
Killer tone and playing! I think the older, '95-'08 American Deluxes are
far and away better than the new, post-2010 lineup, which IMO takes a step
back from being "Modern" Jazz & Precision Basses (the P/DC models that had
the Dual Coil humbucker to fill in the P-Bass tone with J-Bass mids) to a
somewhat odd mixture of old & new school.
Don't like the slap tone. Fender obviously used a 60s style pickup routing.
I prefer the 70s routing where the treble PUP is a 1/2" closer to the
bridge. The 70s routing has a funkier tone with more cut. The Marcus Miller
signature bass is a perfect example of that sound.
good video, check out my channel!

had before and where you play it and what your grandma sent you last
Christmas, good job THANKS!
Sounds absolutly fantastic. This is the Fender sound tahat is the reason I
and many others choose to play these wonderful basses. And awesome playing
too!
Don't see what all the fuss is about over Active pickups..I just installed
some Zakk Wylde active EMG 81/85 pickups in my Les Paul and it screams! And
you know what? It plays cleans great as well!...maybe you active haters are
just using bad amps? I run mine through a Line 6 Valve 212 Tube Amp.
+Amr Hammam (Amir) You know, It's a good idea to plug out the jack from the guitar after playing. Otherwise it will drain the battery ludicrously fast. ;)
+Amr Hammam Yeah, you lose ALL output when the battery is dead/not there. I tried it out on my high gain channel - it sounded like a light crunch. Defs need the battery.I'd probably check out the 57/66 set in person if you can, YouTube and music reveiwers tend to make pickups sound way too similar in demos usually.
+flagmuffin1221 I'll check them out, thanks! This sounds pretty cool.I have to switch my battery every month or so. Of course it plays even if I don't switch the battery, but the sound is just weak and...meehhh.
+Amr Hammam I've literally swapped my battery like...3 times in the 3 years of owning my active guitar? Not that unreliable. Also, you don't exactly buy actives to mess with blues or jazz. Clean jazz and blues, it's actually pretty good. They're not worse than passives, they just have a different clean sound, brighter sort of. The EMG 57/66 set is apparently the bridge between passive and active, and I'm actually looking at getting some soon. You should check them out as well.
Give it a couple of months. I used to worship active pickups and I would've done anything to get some active pickups. Got my first active pups (EMGs 81 and 85) and I couldn't contain myself from the excitement. After a few months, I was so over them. I absolutely hate them. First of all, they're completely unreliable because, well, they run on batteries. You have no idea how many times I would be playing and I find the sound gradually dying because of the battery. But that's just a battery, no big deal, right? Just swap it out for a new one. Well it gets annoying after the first three times.Also, the versatility. God, how limited they are. Active pups are metal machines. As long as you're playing some heavy stuff, they're great. But when you try to experiment with the "softer" stuff, they're a nightmare.
Jaguar Bass MIJ
Jaguar Bass, MIJ, demoing sounds in passive (first) and active (second) mode. Played through a guitar amp since I have no bass amp, miked with a Shure 57.
