Lew-Bass Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Are the basses of this name MIA? Also, how much do they cost new (roughly)? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemmywinks Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 The standard is MIM isn't it? The ones i was looking at a couple of years ago were £399 - £469 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Fender listings generally go like this: Fender Standard Jazz/Precision bass (Mexican MIM) Fender US Standard J/P (American MIA) Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lew-Bass Posted May 19, 2009 Author Share Posted May 19, 2009 (edited) Ah OK, thanks guys Thought I'd found a bargain on the bay then :lol EDIT: Does anyone if a SR500 can pull off a jazz tone/sound good playing indie?

Prosebass Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 (edited) I would consider this [topic="48917"]Fernandes JP [/topic] that kennyrodg is selling. I can vouch that the bass is excellent in condition , playability and tone plus Pete is a great guy to deal with. And its a whole lot more interesting than a Standard Jazz and better built I would say plus more versatile with the P/J pup configuration.

Paul[/quote] Thanks for the heads up, it looks like a lovely bass but I'm after a J/J config, with a really slim neck and a smooth, low and pronounced tone, willing to go second hand with a budget of £400/500 Any suggestions for me?

Geek99 Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I suggest going Japan (CIJ) - nice balance of price versus quality. My 62 RI jazz is amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neck size and feel, string tension, everything about it is great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G&L certainly do make a lefty version of the JB2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
