Fender Geddy Lee Jazz Bass, Black Maple Fretboard Review

Fender Geddy Lee Jazz Bass, Black Maple Fretboard
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.

Mean, mean stride! Our Geddy Lee Jazz Bass® guitar is an exact replica of the tonally singular instrument that Rush's revered bassist/vocalist has riffed away on in front of thousands of devoted fans worldwide and on many a mega-selling album. The bass has an alder body; the one-piece "C"-shaped maple neck (thin) has a maple fingerboard with black binding and black rectangular position markers. The two vintage Jazz Bass single coil pickups crackle with life and bristle with the energy.

Squier by Fender Classic Vibe Duo-Sonic 50's, Desert Sand Review

Squier by Fender Classic Vibe Duo-Sonic 50's, Desert Sand
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is just a sweet, sweet little guitar. It's a short-scale guitar and the neck slides really well, you can do some really cool slinky stuff between the light string tension allowed by the short scale and the quickness of the neck. The fit and finish are perfect, just perfect -- the thick 50's-formica-yellow finish is flawless, the frets have no rough spots, everything is beautiful. The sound is classic Fender single-coil bite, sort of between a Strat and a Telecaster, except without the humm. I was initially dubious about the 50's-style 3-barrel bridge and the "classic" tuners, but once I learned how to deal with them they work perfectly and add to the character of the guitar. I've played a lot of guitars over the years, but this is by far my favorite -- it's light and comfortable for long gigs, it sounds great, it plays wicked good, and it looks great. And for this price, what a bargain!
Only downside: It comes with ridiculously light strings. I replaced the original strings with #10 Elixir Nanoweb teflon-coated strings, which are still plenty slinky due to the short scale but make it slide even better than the original strings and it's possible to play *in* tune if you so desire (the originals are #8 strings, you just can't play them in tune on a short scale guitar like this one).

Squier's new Classic Vibe Duo-Sonic '50s comes in a Desert Sand finish on a basswood body, with a comfortable 24"-scale gloss-maple neck with 21 medium-jumbo frets and a modern 9.5" fingerboard radius. Other features include two alnico V single-coil pickups and a three-way selector switch for bright, clear tones that are unmistakably Fender.

Squier by Fender Vintage Modified Jazz Bass, 2 Tone Sunburst Review

Squier by Fender Vintage Modified Jazz Bass, 2 Tone Sunburst
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The copy I relieved of this bass had some of the nastiest looking wood I have ever seen in a transparent finish instrument. It had black knots on the front and rear. The body was made of three drastically mismatched pieces. It was too ugly to look at, I can't imagine how that body passed preliminary inspection at the factory. It would have been OK for a solid color bass, but not for a sunburst!
By the way, it's a three-tone sunburst, not two-tone as the Amazon description says.
It sounded and played OK, but the looks bugged me too much and I returned it to Amazon.

Squier by Fender Standard Stratocaster Left Handed Rosewood, Black Metallic Review

Squier by Fender Standard Stratocaster Left Handed Rosewood, Black Metallic
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The Squier by Fender Standard Stratocaster Left Handed is my first guitar, and it is a fantastic instrument. I had no trouble teaching myself the basic chords and favorite songs of mine with this guitar.
It comes with a tremolo system, which requires assembly. I haven't put mine in yet, but I'm sure it's very easy to do. It also comes with three small Allen wrenches, as well as a spring, of which I do not know its purpose. It comes pre-strung, so you won't have to mess with stringing for your first time when you get it. The factory strings broke in about two weeks, but no factory strings will last long. Also add in the fact that I was playing it for hours each day.
The rosewood fretboard is very smooth and comfortable, which any guitarist can appreciate. The guitar body itself is beautiful, and has contours that you cannot see well, if at all, on the product photos. Choosing a guitar color is a subjective call from the guitarist, but I think most people will enjoy beholding the black metallic.
I really have nothing negative to say about the Squier by Fender Standard Stratocaster Left Handed. Just buy or be ready to buy guitar strings, because the factory strings will most likely break relatively soon. Awesome guitar!

The left-handed Squier Standard Stratocaster plays great, with traditional vibe and modern feel. Player-friendly features like the slimmer neck and 22-fret fingerboard make for easier playing, and the die-cast tuners are lifetime-lubricated for years of trouble-free service and tuning stability. A twin-pivot bridge with satin-anodized saddles provides smooth tremolo action, and the single-coil alnico pickups sound great! Available with maple or rosewood fingerboard.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I will be honest, I don't know a whole lot of info about guitars, bass or otherwise, but I did my research, and for a beginning guitar and for the price i was willing to spend this was pretty much the best thing i could do. and i have yet to be disappointed at all. The neck and body are sturdy and produce a decent sound, and was delivered without any scratches or nicks unlike previous guitars i had experience with. The electric components don't feel as sturdy as you would find on a more high quality guitar, but once again, considering the price, and the fact that you are buying a beginners bass; this is to be expected, and once again, for the price that is offered it is exceptionally high quality. The candy red was a little lighter than i had seen online, but i actually was pleasantly surprised by that as well.
All together, this is a perfect beginner bass, Would I recommend this bass for a pro? Not really, but i doubt a pro would really be looking to hard at this guitar.

For the money, this bass is fantastic. The Squier name is really getting better. The fit and finish are smooth, clean and classic. The action arrived perfect. A quick tune up. play around with the control knobs, and just absolutely love it. Lots of tonal capability, comfortable weight balance, beautiful finish. What more can you ask for? Maybe a HMV bridge. maybe an owners manual would be great. Came with nothing but the box.

The Precision Bass was the first electric bass guitar-the one that started it all. Our Squier P-Bass Special and P-Bass Special 5 are modern updates of those classic Fender designs. Easy to play, the left-handed Squier P-Bass Special is responsive and flexible. The slim, comfortable neck is matched to a solid agathis body fitted with a traditional split single-coil P-Bass pickup and a J-Bass pickup in the bridge position for tonal versatility. Quality touches include multi-ply pickguards, chrome dome knobs and a choice of four finish options.

Squier by Fender Deluxe Active Jazz Bass IV String, 3 Tone Sunburst Review

Squier by Fender Deluxe Active Jazz Bass IV String, 3 Tone Sunburst
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Just received my bass - the 3 tone sunburst. It's surprisingly attractive for a budget instrument, and reasonably well made, with medium weight bridge and tuners. The "ebanol" fingerboard takes some getting used to; it's not as yielding as rosewood, but seems to work well. Fretwork was good, and the chromed control knobs are indeed made of metal.
What sets this instrument apart is the wide range of tones one can tune in using the boost/cut controls assisted by active electronics. You can hear the metallic twang of round wound strings, and adjust the brightness and fullness of the tone to your liking. A quick twist of the controls and change of articulation, and it's easy to emulate the traditional darker, thudding tones found on older recordings, and appropriate when playing in those styles. No opinion on the slap switch; I prefer the tone with the switch in the up position (towards the neck).
I think it sounds great, and I tested the instrument in a large music store against 7 other basses ranging in cost up to $400 for a used Schecter. The Schecters were good guitars, but the Squire won due to the tonal flexibility, and very clean, tunable sound. It sounds even better at home.
I can't imaging there's a better bass at this price. Look around for sales if you'd like to save more.

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 Classic Vibe Stratocaster 60s, 3 Tone Sunburst Review

Squier by Fender Classic Vibe Stratocaster 60s, 3 Tone Sunburst
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I already love the Classic Vibe Series from Squier. I already have the Custom Tele and love the quality, feel and sound of the guitar. This is a great guitar with a unique sound... here's why...
The Build
This guitar is a quality built guitar. 2 Pieces of Alder with amazing quality to the Sunburst finish. It is a gorgeous guitar body. The neck is a thin C-shape with a unique design. It is glossy and thinner than the C-Shaped Mexican Strat Necks or the US Strat Necks. The medium-jumbo frets on the rosewood neck have no sharp edges and seem perfectly installed. The guitar came in the box, perfectly set up, although I needed to set the pickup heights a little differently and change the intonation a little with the bridge saddles. (This should be expected on almost any guitar.) There were a few dinks on the fretboard from the factory, but nothing that affects play at all.
The Hardware
The Tuners are vintage tuners that I have seen on some Us Strats and even the Kenny Wayne Signature Mexican Strat. They stay in tune perfectly well and seem like a great quality. The Bridge and saddles seem to be a good quality. The trem has a zinc trem block that seems less than the quality that I would want. I'm not sure why they don't have a higher quality stainless block.
The Electronics
The Pickups are Alnico and sound great. (remember that the stock Fender Bullet Strings are garbage and need to be changed.) Throw some decent strings on it and you will find that the pickups are fantastic. Tons of character from the notch settings. You get great Strat Spank and quack with a great sound. What surprises me in a huge way is the sustain. This guitar sustains way better than ANY Strat US or MExican that I have ever tried. (I assume that this is a combination of the quality build, the Hardware and the Electronics.)
The Sound
This guitar has a fantastic unique sound. Playing through several amps, this guitar sounded high quality through all of them. You will not find any Squier that has this kind of quality sound and sustain. Not even the Mexican Made Strats have this great sound. The older MIM strats all have ceramic pickups that are no good. This strat has high quality ALNICO pickups.
The Feel
The neck is thin, and if you like a thin neck this guitar feels amazing. I love the feel of this guitar. If you blindfolded me, I might pick the feel of this guitar over any strat that I have ever played.
Overall
You won't find a Strat with such a high quality and interesting sound as good for this price anywhere. If you like the sound and feel, you should feel lucky to find a guitar for this price. I could play this onstage or with any amp and be happy with the sound and sustain.
My guess about this guitar is that they had the China Squier factory use top quality parts and has developed a better quality control system to make these guitars more consistently good.
I love these guitars. Mine is easily becoming my favorite strat to hear, feel and play.

The rough-and-tumble Classic Vibe Stratocaster '60s evokes that musically adventurous decade, with a few modern features added. The alder body has a Three-color Sunburst or Candy Apple Red finish; the '60s-era vintage-tint gloss-maple neck has a rosewood fingerboard with 21 medium-jumbo frets and a modern 9.5" radius. The thick tone comes from the alnico V single-coil pickups-quick attack with a bit more midrange force and a knockout bridge pickup. Custom staggered polepieces provide improved string-to-string balance.

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

Squier by Fender Vintage Modified Jazz Bass '77, Black
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

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

Average Reviews:

Ok, lets get this straight, it's a starter guitar, not a $1500 American Deluxe or a $2500 Gibson Les Paul. However if you are just getting started and not sure of your guitar playing commitment, the Fender Squier is an excellent choice. It is well built and as full featured as a starter guitar can be. I purchased the Fender Squier Starter Pack (not Starcaster) about two years ago and have not regretted it. With the GDec Jr amp, this kit is about $350. The less expensive Squier kit with a less capable amp, (which as a beginner may not be that important to you) is $199.
The GDec advantage is its ability to produce more sounds. In either case, it is a good quality guitar. If possible, it is always better if you can listen to a guitar before purchase. The Fender has been a good choice for me.

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.
