Love my jazz, especially the tapered neck, and will never part ways with it. Righteous Sound pickups made me a set of P-bass pickups within my jazz enclosures. Best decision I ever made.

[Sometimeslifeiscrazy]

I think the jazz bass is the greatest all around bass ever created

[citizenbxtr]

Jaco on the bridge, Familyman Barrett on the neck and that whole spectrum of in between.

[RogueCheddar]

As an owner of a 1976 Fender Jazz with a maple neck with the white pearl inlays, it just sings. I had the neck defretted (My Jaco phaze) and clear coated with polyester and black lined epoxy by Mike Pedulla of Pedulla guitars and basses in '77 when he still had his little shop on Tick Tock Lane in Weymouth Massachusetts. He did the neck and added a brass nut, all for only $80. What a bargain. By the way, that Jazz Bass only cost me $333 brand new in '76. Good times good times.

Runaway is a great song with a great bassline

Fender Jazz basses are definitely among the most versatile basses there are. Works perfectly for everything from smooth jazz to technical death metal. You could say the same about P-basses as well.

[gnomishviking]

My 5 string jazz is my favourite bass out of all the basses I’ve owned in 21 years I’ve played bass.

It simply just does everything I want it to do.

[erikavery]

I’ve been jamming on my Jazz Bass for 25 Years. It’s the GOAT 🐐

[heirling]

Lol, bass nerds... some of the hippest cats in my book. Scott and Ian's excitement keeps me inspired.🙏🏽

[Danalmagrodrumsnbass]

This is why I still own a PJ and a Jazz, they're pretty similar, but the split coil still has a better low for recording when soloed plus the hum cancellation

[robalderman]

I think jazz bass is the most versatile of the fender basses. You can get close to that magic P bass tone on the neck pickup, but then you have all the other tones as well. You will never get the fat mids of the P but the P can't do all the variations the Jazz can do.

I have a 2019 Fender American Professional J-bass. I also have a classic Gibson Victory Standard (fretless). The J-bass weighs about half as much and everything about it... especially the way the neck FEELS is just top-notch. I commented on an earlier short where Scott was comparing a J-bass and P-bass and I said the J-bass can do everything a P-bass can, but not the other way around.

[KMeadSportsVideo]

I have a couple of J’s and a vintage P. Different animals. Love them all!!!

[Quonchon]

Love the palm muted picked P bass sound too tho, can't be replicated by anything else imo.

Just got home from a gig. First set using a jazz bass with Lindy Fralins roundwound strings. Picked it simply because few songs had slap parts. Next two sets I played my pbass with flats, Aguilar 4P-60 pups using Aguilar TH700 head. Jazz bass performed great! P bass was amazing on stage off stage. I use wireless system and I went down to the dance floor to get a proper idea. The pbass with flats sounded immeasurably better. Club gig. On the other hand, when playing jazz in another band my fretless jazz bass sounds way more appropriate.

[AmiliaCaraMia]

That neck alone is worth playing a jazz bass. But I do love the percussive edge you get from the lower notes on viola basses and the shape / size of mustang bass bodies. Decisions decisions haha.

[kensurrency]

i have a newer 5-string jazz. absolutely love the tone. the bridge position is a thicc monster!

[CanyonWanderer]

The Jazz bass has such a nice neck, with this versatility it goes through the roof!
Having said that: I got to play the Nate Mendel signature P-Bass and that brought me around from a ~10 year period of "P-bass is not for me".
So, now it is either Jazz bass, Nate Mendel signature P-Bass or my other all time favourite: MusicMan Stingray 4 '95. I'm so bad at choosing ...

[MRGATRY]

Fender makes great basses, and Rickenbacker

[grannydeen]

It's almost like;

Daddy sings bass
momma sings tenor
and little brother joins right in there.
