This Workhorse Bass is a Great Value!

Grab Fender's Deluxe Jaguar® Bass four-string bass guitar when you need the versatility to dial in a wide range of tones. Actually, you'll love the Deluxe Jaguar Bass even if you never touch the tone controls. The comfortable C-shaped neck plays fast and smooth, with easy access to all 20 medium-jumbo frets. But the real power in the Deluxe Jaguar Bass lies in its powerful tone shaping capabilities and active electronics. With dual J-Bass single-coil pickups, switchable between active and passive operation, and selectable series/parallel pickup modes, you'll find any tone you're looking for in the FENDER® Deluxe Jaguar Bass.

Fender Deluxe Jaguar Bass Four-string Bass Guitar at a Glance:
  • Fender quality
  • Dual Fender pickups
  • Active operation and tone shaping

Fender quality:
Fender's Deluxe Jaguar Bass quickly became a favorite among bassists of all styles for its combination of versatility and playability. It plays fast and smooth, just like you'd expect from a workhorse Fender bass. Whether you like warm muted tones, a snappy and bright sound, or anything in-between, the Deluxe Jaguar Bass is ready to serve it up.

Dual Fender pickups:
The powerful tone of the Fender Deluxe Jaguar Bass comes courtesy of a duo of Fender Jazz Bass® single-coil pickups. These pickups sound fat and full on their own, but you can take their tone to the next level with the powerful tone shaping capabilities of the Deluxe Jaguar Bass.

Active operation and tone shaping:
Each pickup on the Fender Deluxe Jaguar Bass can be switched between passive and active modes for versatility. In active operation, you can select between series and parallel signal routing for extra tonal options. You also get an active tone circuit with Treble and Bass controls, as well as a Master Tone control. No bass tone is beyond reach with the Fender Deluxe Jaguar Bass.

Fender Deluxe Jaguar Bass Four-string Bass Guitar Features:
  • Smooth-playing bass with powerful tone-shaping power for a workhorse instrument
  • Iconic Fender design balances form and function
  • J-Bass single-coil pickups for great tonal combinations
  • Active/passive operation gives you twice the versatility

For the longest time I was trying to decide between a P- and J-bass. I am soooo happy that I discovered this baby. Good looks? Heck, yeah! The number of compliments I got in just one day was crazy! Th... read more [+]e sunburst finish works really well, and is a timeless look for a Fender bass. But how about the tone(s)? Unbelievable! Everything from brighter j-bass tones to deep in-your-face thumping p-bass tones. The intense growl that I was looking for is definitely there. It is such a dream to play this thing finger-style, slap, or with a pick. I love that you can select to play it passive or active. I thought I would opt to replace once I received it. I am no longer considering that. I did replace the bridge with a Babicz FCH-4. IMO, this is now the perfect bass for me. Definitely consider it! close [-]

And a more modern bridge would be an obvious improvement for fans of tho... read more [+]se. But the main problem is that out of the box, it's rather noisy. A quick search of the web turns up the same complaint and the same solution over and over SHIELDING. The various control cavities are said to be shielded, but they are not connected to each other. This renders much of the shielding useless. The easy solution is to apply some copper shielding tape, from cavity to cavity (the pickguard will conceal this) and the backside of the PG itself. But while you're in there, I recommend reshielding the cavities with the copper tape. The reason is that this bass has an unusually long signal path - it travels to 3 of the body's 4 corners. This makes it exceptionally vulnerable to outside noise. After doing this to the bass, it's dead silent. As for sound? It digs in with an aggressive growl. As of there, I'm very pleased with the bass...but it can always be better - right? So, I filed some fall off onto the top 5 frets or so. WOW!!! To get the action any lower, I would have to shim the neck up. I'm only knocking a 1/2 star off, because the build quality makes the other issues worth dealing with. close [-]
