Fender Standard Jazz Bass Review
Adam’s Take – “For the price, I wouldn’t think twice about telling anyone I know to feel comfortable buying this bass. It’s affordable enough to take on the road and not lose sleep over where and tear unlike the Fodera’s of the world. It’s solid as a rock and can take some abuse. It has great action, tone and feel and it’s appropriate for any level player.”

Description
I looked long and hard to find the Fender Standard Jazz Bass that wasn’t jacked up in price. Seems like it should have been an easier task, but when you are looking for a Fender Jazz Bass, there are so many options. Many of the classic ones costing thousands of dollars. Many are very well worth it. However, the Fender Standard Jazz Bass is the most affordable way to get a professional level instrument that has the look, sound and feel that you would expect out of a bass guitar that costs several thousands of dollars.
FAQ Frequently Asked Questions
Does it come ready to play?
This bass comes prestrung in the factory box. With the exception of needing to tune the bass, this instrument comes ready to play!
Does the bass include a case or bag?
It does not specify that it comes with a gig bag, though I do know a couple people that received them and didn’t know they were gonna get them.
- Adam’s Take
For a beginner it’s nice to save money if you are not sure if you are sticking with an instrument, and for that i’d say the squire model is similar enough and cheap enough to go in that direction. However, if you think there is a chance you will be sticking with the instrument for a long time and you want something that you can grow with and not feel holds you back as you get better, i would urge you to strongly consider this bass. It is not that much more expensive than the squire and if you played both back to back in a music store, you can feel the difference in quality without having to know much about the instrument. While there are high end basses that I would suggest over this for professionals, I would say even a professional could stand to own this bass to travel with and practice with. It’s a great instrument.
- Action is amazing
- Feels sturdier than it’s Squire counterpart
- Reduced hum with shielded body cavities
- Comfortable neck
- Great tone
- Some people don’t like that it’s mexican and not the american model. You pay more for the american model is what i’d say.
