Fender Made In Mexico Jazz Bass vs USA Precision and More Talk About The Most Versatile Bass

My second purchase of a Mexican made Fender is looking to be a bit like the first time but I'm digging the sound of it with flat wounds. Hopefully, a fret dress will sort it out.

Oh man, literally yesterday I've bought a 95 Fender "squier series" jazz made in Mexico. This is the first jazz, (and I belive the first of the many Fender basses I had opportunity to play) that I really vibe with, and the build quality is exceptional. Great video as always :)

Another excellent vid. Enjoyed the iron maiden snippet.

I have had a Mim P Bass for years, one of my favorite players. Now thinking of getting a Mim Jazz Bass.

Beautiful Bass brother, and I love that look as well. Sounds great.

That is my fav color / style of Fender bass - shiny wood = total cool. The pick guard finishes it.

Glad you are doing good after the heart attack.

I’m a stingray guy. My next choice would probably be a fender precision because they are similar. I also enjoy flatwounds just because they feel better to me.

Thanks for the video

I was deciding between a new MM SR Special and a USA Geddy Lee Jazz and went with the Geddy hands down. Best feeling bass I have ever played and tons of versatility out of that thing. I play it wide open and with a slight EQ differnce, it's great. I changed the pickguard to a black one and it just suits me more than any other giuitar I've owned. It's killed myh GAS for now. I love a stingray for sure, but Fender won this round for me. Thanks fror the video.

I was debating between a Jazz and Precision bass, you helped me go towards the precision bass! That comparison did it for me. I prefer that beeffier and well rounded precision sound for Latin music. But actually, now I want a Stingray too! Lol! Now you got me looking at both.. :)

Here's my bass journey: cheap Yamaha>MIM 60's Classic Series Jazz Bass (too much like a guitar to me)>Music Man/Ernie Ball USA SUB (liked it but stupidly let it go)>Fender 50's Classic Series Precision Bass (strung with flats is 'that' Motown sound but a bit limiting for other styles)>Sterling SUB (good for the price but neck was too skinny and bridge rattles a bit)>Music Man/Ernie Ball USA SUB (managed to find an exact replica of the one I sold but for £300 cheaper). You can't beat the Stingray or a USA made SUB in my opinion. Build quality is exceptional, never goes out of tune, looks cool as f*%k and can play any style 🤟

Needs a little set up but yeah, a sound purchase.

I like the pbody better for me. I have two pj basses. Sometime give it a try.

If I could offer some advice that I found with my Mexican Fender Jazz Bass..., change the bridge to a Badass.. The difference it makes it huge...!, massive!!.. It transforms the sound.. Just my findings..

The issue with the MiM Fenders is the Quality control like you said, I’ve had several Mexican basses but ended up getting rid of them and went with some Japanese Fenders instead and also USA made, however, I kept a Justin Meldal Johnsen signature Mustang bass that is the best bass I own! Well, I do have a Stingray and enjoy playing the heel out of it, great video!

Is that a Jazz Bass FSR? I have the same bass but from 2014 🙂
