General
The Jazz Bass was Fender's second electric bass guitar model and was introduced in 1960. It was an instant success because it featured more versatile tonal possibilities and easier playability than the Precision Bass. The J-Bass is equipped with two separate single-coil pickups that produce a clear and tight sound that cuts through the mix excellently. Additionally, it has a more narrow neck and a comfortable, slender asymmetric body. Fender have upgraded and improved their legendary classic and the result is this American Standard Jazz Bass. The version you see here is a 3-tone Sunburst edition with a rosewood fretboard that adds just a little extra warmth compared to the maple one.
American Standard Jazz Bass: vintage meets modern
The Fender American Standard Jazz Bass combines vintage and modern features. Its High Mass Vintage bridge, for instance, has the classic looks but is made thicker to provide a bigger tone with more sustain. This J-Bass is also equipped with high-quality Hipshot tuners that are 30% lighter and thus provide for a more balanced instrument. Next, the bolt-on maple neck features a 20-fret rosewood fretboard with a modern 9.5-inch radius as well as two internal Posiflex graphite support rods. Additionally, the neck has a shade that is richer and deeper to give it an elegant, traditional vintage look.
Custom Shop pickups for that famous J-Bass sound
Fender has equipped the American Standard Jazz Bass with Custom Shop '60s pickups. These two alnico 5 single coils provide that classic Jazz Bass sound, but with a dash more output for punchier mids and basses. Both pickups have their own volume control and the master tone will filter out the trebles. You can create a wide range of bass sounds by blending the two volumes, from a fierce bright tone, that'll cut through the mix excellently, to a warm, sultry jazz sound. All in all, this is a versatile bass guitar suitable for virtually any genre whether you like to slap, fingerpick, or go all out with a pick.

Je kunt een stap hoger gaan met een actieve versie van de Jazz Bass, en daar is natuurlijk ook veel voor te zeggen als je dat wil.
Maar als je op zoek bent naar die klassieke Fender Jazz sound met passieve pickups, dat 'zilverachtige' in het hoog, die lekkere duidelijke toon in het mid dat zo lekker klinkt in van die lekkere licks, dat sexy strakke maar niet overdreven laag, dan is dit jouw bas.
Ik gebruik hem voornamelijk voor muziek in de hoek van Funk, Hip-Hop, Jazz, Soul en R&B, maar deze bas *rocks* ook in de stevigere muziek.
Ik heb een paar Fender basgitaren gehad, meestal wat oudere versies met het idee van "neem een instrument uit die tijd, want nieuwer is niet altijd beter", maar daar ben ik van terug gekomen: Koop gewoon een nieuwe USA Standard!
Hij word super compleet geleverd met een chique koffer, snoer, halsband, etc. De bas is perfect afgewerkt, en alles 'voelt' gewoon zoals je het wil.
Nog steeds de benchmark, wat mij betreft.
10/10
Een jonge heavy metal banger zal natuurlijk een product totaal anders aanvoelen...
De Fender USA Standard Jazz bass.
Om in vliegtuig termen te praten: deze bas is de ultieme perfecte profi werkpaard onder de basgitaren.
Zoveel exotische boetiekbasje en zoveel peperdure varianten op de jazzbass waardoor je door de bomen het bos niet meer ziet.
Maar goed, ik heb deze bas 1 jaar bespeeld. In principe kun je deze bas gewoon blind in de winkel kopen, de kwaliteitscontrole in de USA is dermate goed (nota bene door voornamelijk Mexicaanse fabrieksarbeiders !) dat aan de afwerking niks af te dingen valt.
Maar toch, mijn persoonlijke ervaring met deze klassieker. Mijn basje was uiteraard subliem qua afwerking, algehele kwaliteit maar ....het miste iets. Hij klonk met alle soorten combinaties van snaren en basversterking wat neutraal en bijna kleurloos.
In eerste instantie nam ik daar genoegen mee. Immers ik heb toch een Amerikaan dus dan is het oke.
Maar de realiteit is dat ik ook Mexicaantjes heb bespeeld die veel beter uit de verf kwamen qua sound en levendigheid. Ik denk hierbij met name aan de Fender Mex jazzbass relic fiesta red !
Ik benadruk echter dat deze Fender USA nog altijd een topper blijft, oke ietwat saai qua geluid maar ja.....de degelijkheid en professioneel gevoel....dat is niet mis.
Waarmee ik eindig met de bekende cliché welk enige basgitaar je zou meenemen naar een onbewoond eiland ? Toch maar de Fender USA standard. Meer heb je niet nodig en hoe je wendt of keer zo allround.
Een dikke 5 al was met maar vanwege de Fender magie die om deze Amerikaanse basje hangt....
