Fender Geddy Lee Jazz Bass, Black Maple Fretboard Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This bass is loaded to the max,and an excellant reproduction of the bass that Getty Lee (RUSH) is known for using live and in the recording studio. What I might add is a pretty good price for such quality.
This FENDER JAZZ bass has a 1 piece maple neck with black binding and black rectangular fret markers.
20 medium jumbo frets with a 9.50''neck radius.
2 Vintage jazz bass single coil pick ups and a vintage Leo Quan Bad Ass II Bridge.
This also Boasts an alder body and vintage 70's stamped open gear tuning machines.
This bass was a favorite among musicians for many reasons. quality workmanship, great tone sparkle and these were very road worthy, able to widthstand the abuse that comes with being a touring band.
I would suggest trying this bass out even if you dont play a Fender.

Schecter Diamond-J Electric Bass (3-Tone Sunburst) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)very pleased with this recent arrival. finish is flawless, heft is good and nicely balanced, and neck is thick in the j bass style with the much preferred maple fretboard. pups produce a nice variety of tones, especially using the neck side pumping out loads of rich bottom. action is outstanding- had to raise the g just slightly to elimate some buzz but that's it. no sunburst on the back but who cares? strings are d'addario round wounds, pick-ups are passive like i like it, and neck is absolutely straight. made in china, not korea like earlier models. couldn't ask for more in this price range (not a return or second).

Squier by Fender Vintage Modified Jazz Bass '77, Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Squier Vintage Modified '77 Jazz Bass is an inexpensive jazz bass from Indonesia with good features and very good workmanship and is a great value for the money. Although mine was shipped with round-wound strings, I put on half-rounds for a somewhat mellower sound. But if you like rounds, you will love what you hear right out of the box.
The bass is black on black, with 'vintage' knobs, decent tuners, and the standard Fender-type bass bridge. I swapped out the bridge for a Gotoh 201 C and the difference was amazing: added clarity, better tone; and the 201, at $35, is heavy, solid, and inexpensive (from Warmoth). The swap is direct. Be aware that the 201 barrels are bigger than the ones you're replacing; a neck shim may be in order. (Not a big deal.)
A heavy bass, but nicely balanced. I use a broad leather strap with an unfinished underside for good grip, and I have no problems. Pickups are 'Duncan Designed' -- take that for what it's worth. Each alone is unremarkable, but when dialed up together the great, punchy jazz bass tone comes through.
The fretboard is nicely bound in white; fret markers are 'pearloid'; why don't they just call it plastic? The neck is satin-finish maple, narrow but not too shallow, very comfortable. Strap buttons are nice and secure, and all other hardware is snugly in place; nothing stripped, broken, or improperly aligned.
For my money, this is a bass that can do it all. Half-rounds mellow the tone a bit, but I can get a nice deep round tone or an aggressive punch simply by varying attack and juggling pickup tones.
$285 from a wholesaler that has 'sweet' in its name, plus $35 for the new bridge. Great value.

Schecter Stiletto Studio-4 Electric Bass (4 String, Honey Satin) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I had searched for a bass for a long time. I wanted to find something that could replace my Yamaha rbx374 (not recommended). I had read countless reviews and played many basses in stores, none of the them were just right. Finally I found a Shecter custom edition. I liked how it played and sounded, but it was a five string. So i looked around online, and found this excellent bass. It had good reviews, and looked wonderful. I took a risk and bought it without playing it first, but fortunately, there was no problem with this bass.
The playability of this bass is amazing. There are no frets that buzz, and the neck is very smooth and fast. All of the tuning pegs turn easily, and stay tuned for a long time. The EMG-HZ give the Shecter an amazing tone. It is warm and syrupy, while still being full and punchy. The tone knobs are great, they are very secure and turn easily, and allow you to get many diverse tones. The build quality is excellent. All the hardware stays firmly in place, and none of it feels cheap. The neck-thru design give it a very long sustain. I have timed an open E note to last over two minutes, before it just turned to static.
I keep flat wound strings on it, so I can not slap very well. However, when there are round's on it, this bass can slap wonderfully. The strings and pickups seem to be placed in perfect position for perfect slap. I have one warning, not a complaint, this bass is a bit on the heavy side. It can get tiring after holding it up for a while. The mahogany wood is very dense and heavy.
Do the looks really need a review? The satin finish matches the golden hardware perfectly. There is not much I can say about the wonderful looks that the picture above does not. The Shecter Stilleto Studio 4 certainly plays, sounds, and looks better than the price that it is selling for. I highly recomend this bass to any player who needs one. Whether you are already a great player, and just want another bass to play with. Whether you are a new bassist, and want something cheap to start out on. This excellent bass will not disappoint anyone.

Squier by Fender Classic Vibe Precision Bass 60's, Fiesta Red Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this bass from the local Guitar Center three months ago and I have to say that it is really an awesome instrument. I have been playing for about six years now and never thought I would buy a Squier. I have a Highway 1 jazz bass that no other bass has come close to in terms of comfort, playability, and sound until now. I really lovethe p-bass tone and I would not be able to guess that this was a squier if you covered up the word squier on the headstock. My only gripe is a minor one, I am used to the satin finish on my Highway 1 so the thicker gloss on the neck of the Squier took a little getting used to. This is an incredible bass. Compared to the cheaper Squiers this thing blows them out of the water. My dad even said I was stupid for getting a Squier, then he played it and was blown away by the quality of this fine instrument. I cannot say enough good things about this instrument. If you are going to buy a p-bass, are looking for quality at a low price, this is what you need.

The Classic Vibe Precision Bass '60s delivers the true Precision Bass experience. Huge tone roars from its traditional split-single-coil pickup. The contoured basswood body, finished in Sonic Blue or Fiesta Red, is familiar and comfortable, and the vintage-tint gloss-maple neck has 20 vintage-style frets and a modern 9.5" radius.

Squier by Fender Vintage Modified Precision Bass Maple, Amber Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I used to have a 1978 Fender Precision with a natural finish and black pickguard that I loved everything about, except that I wished it had a maple fretboard. I sadly had to sell it some years ago. Now a couple of months ago, Squier releases this bass which looks just like my old Fender except it has the maple board that I wished my old one had. Considering I had a good experience with Squier's Vintage Modified Jazz bass, at the price of only $279, I decided to go for it, and I am very happy I did.
It's a great bass, well constructed, plays well and sounds (and looks just as good) as my old '78. The hardware (tuners, bridge) are not cheap looking at all and they do their job,and again the fretwork and satin finished neck make it a joy to play. This bass also has the Duncan designed pickup that the Vintage Modifed line uses, and again it has that old school vintage Fender sound. I highly recommend you give this bass a chance if you're looking for a authentically playing and sounding Precison bass at a reasonable price. As A fan of the Precison bass, I find it to be a winner.

Squier by Fender Vintage Modified Jazz Bass Fretless, 3 Tone Sunburst Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)See Video. You cannot find a bass under $300 that will play like this - this is Jaco tone right out of the box! I tweaked the truss rod a bit (lowered the action) and voila! The Duncan Pups sound really good too! I have been playing for 30 years - I have played and owned the best of the best basses including Fender Custom Shop and Fodera - you will not be disappointed in this instrument - Fender really outdid themselves on this inexpensive little Axe. Almost all the Harmony Central reviews are all 9 or 10's! BTW - I am playing thru a Markbass 1X12 combo - recorded with the external Mic on my iPhone - just laying near the amp.

Disciples of groove will severely dig Squier's elegantly slinky new Vintage Modified Jazz Bass Fretless, which fuses the warm, expressive voice of an upright with the defined attack of an electric. The no-pickguard, Three-color Sunburst finish is a classic, and the lightweight agathis body is home to a pair of single-coil Duncan Designed' Jazz Bass pickups. The special one-piece maple neck has a fretless Ebonol fingerboard with white celluloid lines that let you know where you're at! Other features include a four-saddle chrome bridge, and chrome hardware and machine heads.

Squier by Fender Vintage Modified Jazz Bass 70'S, Natural Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have played many bass guitars and this one is definitely one of my top favorites. It both looks and sounds great. This bass has a very clean and bright sound. It's hardware and pickups are very good quality, and the 3-piece body is seamless. I love playing this bass and I do so everyday. One of the best features about this bass is the price. For the quality of it, I would be willing to pay twice as much. Compared to a Fender Jazz bass, it is really the same thing, just stamped with Squier. I am expecting this instrument to last me for years to come.

Is 'funkify" a word? It is now, baby, thanks to Squier's retro-inspired Vintage Modified Jazz Bass guitar! This handsome natural-finish bass features a soft maple body and one-piece maple neck with sharp-looking black binding and block inlays on the 20-fret maple fingerboard. That soulful sound emanates from a pair of single-coil Duncan Designed' Jazz Bass pickups; other features include chrome hardware and machine heads, a three-ply pickguard and a four-saddle chrome bridge.
