General
The Fender Jazz Bass is a much-praised instrument that has set the standards for decades. Fender affiliate Squier also makes numerous Jazz Bass versions, among which this Candy Apple Red Vintage Modified '70s. Thanks to its two single coils, this J-Bass sounds like it should: warm, present and rich on trebles. Its looks (and sound) predispose it to old school funk and soul, but it is a widely versatile instrument with a sound free from extremes.
Vintage Modified Jazz Bass 70s
This red instrument is made of soft maple to ensure a warm base sound. Its (hard) maple neck has a shiny vintage tint and is exceptionally comfortable to play on. The fretboard (also made of maple) has 22 medium frets. Its black pickguard and chrome-plated hardware make the look of this Vintage Modified J-Bass complete. This bass guitar is a characterful instrument at a sharp price.
The Squier brand
The most famous Fender guitars are the Precision and Jazz bass guitars and the Stratocaster and Telecaster electric guitars. Many manufacturers have imitated these in different price ranges. In order to be able to provide a reliable and attractive alternative for beginners, Fender started their subsidiary Squier in 1982. Squier guitars and bass guitars are built according to specifications by, and under supervision of, Fender.

De reden dat ik hem online bestelde is de prijs en het feit dat ze in de gitaarwinkel waar ik hem wilde uitproberen en kopen het ding niet eens in huis hadden en verder het advies nogal belabberd was. Dus dan maar gewoon op de moderne manier online besteld. Dan probeer ik hem thuis wel uit. Dat heeft ook zijn voordelen.
Ieder heeft zo zijn smaak maar na een weekje spelen op deze bas en de knopjes eens in verschillende standen te hebben gedraaid ben ik het helemaal eens wat in het begin van de beschrijving staat. Gemaakt voor jazzy en soul en funk maar toch breed inzetbaar. Ik had deze gitaar eerder gehoord alhoewel ik er zelf nog nooit op had gespeeld. Als je hem uitpakt en je plugt hem in dan valt vooral de sterke klank op die toch ontzettend smooth is. En de knor in de achterste pickup voor de funk. En inderdaad de sustain is goed en dat is mooi voor een bas. Als je dat alles mixt en dan heb je ook nog de knoppen van je versterker en wie weet een pedal, dan kun je er veel mee doen. En zoals gezegd, er zit power in. Het is een passieve basgitaar. Geen batterijen meer. Voor deze dan. Mijn andere gitaar houd ik gewoon.
Ik weet wel dat handleidingen online te vinden zijn maar ik zou een boekje bij zo'n product wel kunnen waarderen. Het is wel een kwaliteitsproduct van een zekere prijs. Niet een pak koffie van de super.
