Just wondered what your thoughts on the difference between US and MIJ Fenders.....i would take an MIJ jazz over a USA in a heartbeat...lets face it..most of the time its going to be a better instrument...ive played a lots of MIJ Fenders and ive never witnessed a bad one.....ive played many a USA dog...

If i ever lost my bass and had to buy a new one..it would whithout doubt be an MIJ Jazz....i met Julian Crampton not long ago at the Jazz Cafe.i asked him about his FBass and he said he sold it...im aware of who has it damn them.....anyway, he said, all he needs is a 4 string jazz.. i asked him what jazz bass he was playing....he pulled out a jazz..i had a play on it...it was lovely..

i asked him what it was and he said it was a standard MIJ Jazz bass...no mods... i think these basses are superb...the sound when he played it live was very very good...and before you say its all in the fingers, i heard it when he was just doing simple scales and it still sounded amazing...

If i ever lost my bass and had to buy a new one..it would without doubt, be an MIJ Jazz...

for the price you can get an MIJ for is there any contest..????

here is a vid of Julian with a a standard MIJ....
