Fender 5
This is the fourth piece of equipment that I have purchased from Sweetwater and I have to say the service here is legit.
Happy birthday thank you to Ben Elder and the rest of the crew.... There's really no words only the great sound that comes out of the instruments that they send me.
This fender 5-string jazz Bass sounds top notcc. The satin finish on the neck is nice and smooth.
Thanks again to all the Sweetwater we will be doing business again for sure
Stay tuned
A really tight Fender Jazz.
I've had a lot of Fender Jazz Basses over the years and this is one of the best. I had a few early 2000's American Deluxe and a few Late 90's American Deluxe but they didn't sound or play as nice as this Player Plus.
It felt great out of the box but I tweak all of my Basses to my liking. Even my high end Basses. This has a really nice Active Jazz Bass tone. The Passive Tone is good also. Some reviews online say the lack of a passive tone control as a con but I'm not missing it. The fit and finish is excellent. The fret edges are smooth. The finish color is pristine from what I can tell. The pickups and preamp sound great. If you want more there's always the option of upgrading the pre and pups.
This Bass is a good buy. I bought another very well known brand of bass a few months ago for almost double the price and the electronics were terrible.Shielding issues grounding issues. I had to return it twice. The Player Plus is quite as a church mouse until you play it. Now I want a 4 string to go with the 5.
Excellent Bass for the price point
Very well-made Bass. The fit and finish is that of the USA line. I do custom set-up work and this Bass needed nothing but playing. If you`re a player who likes to be expressive and explore the finger board, this Bass is as honest as it gets. You'll get what you give it.
Active Jazz V
I am very pleased with this Bass! It sounds as good as it looks!!
Better than I hoped.
This bass was exactly what I was hoping for. The rolled finger board, 18v Preamp that has a passive mode, and high mass bridge really sealed the deal. The harmonics you can pull off are unbelievable and the notes really stand out. I received compliments at the first gig on the tone and note articulation.
Right up there with every bass I've owned
I've been playing bass since 1994. I've owned Fender American Ultra/Elites, G&L (USA), etc, and this bass sounds and feels just as high-quality, and looks amazing. The only hint that it's a Mexican-made model is the slightly-less-smooth movement of the control knobs. Seriously. That's it. And it costs $ less than my other basses. And of course, my Sweetwater Swami Ryan Sloan made sure everything was perfect, start-to-finish.
