paul_c2 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I'd say option 3 is the best - the Japanese Fender Jazz. IMHO they are better than Squier VM and Fender MIM Jazz basses, although those are not too far behind. It would be worth researching the cost of importing, since I am in the UK I can't help with the specific details but it should be possible to find out. Also, I dare say, there will be other MIJ Jazz basses on Reverb too. Its up to you, if you're happy to take the risk of buying a bass unseen (and unheard), then go Japanese. If you are unsure, then visit a large music shop, try the MIM (and pay a bit more) and a Squier (pay a bit less) and buy the bass you were able to try out. I think all three will keep their value long term, but obviously buying new you will take an instant hit on the depreciation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebassist Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 (edited) I saw some guy had a 2015 US Jazz Bass on here for £750 - I know it’s a little beyond your budget but if you could stretch I’d go with something like that. If you decide to move it on anytime I can’t imagine you’d lose anything either. Edited March 17, 2018 by thebassist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
