redstriper Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 (edited) It's asking for a pass word to see the pics.

redstriper Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 How do the AVs compare to US standards and MIM Fenders? I'm really intrigued by them because they are so much more expensive and I wonder what extra you get for the money. I don't like TIs on anything but fretless basses (where I love them) - they just don't have enough oomph for me on a fretted bass. GHS precision flats are my ideal choice for fretted Jazzes.

KiOgon Posted April 20, 2012 Author Share Posted April 20, 2012 Hi Steve, I've not had a US standard P or J to compare, but I had a MiM P in 3TS when I bought my '62 P AV & TBH there's honestly not a huge tangible difference, but there is certainly a feel of quality to the AV's which IMO you don't get in the others. Money's worth? I've only paid near the mark for my '57 P, the '62 P I got direct from the states at a bargain price & the '62 Jazz in a trade. No I wouldn't/couldn't necessarily pay the street price for them, but I reckon they are top of the quality tree, next to custom shop jobs It's not easy when you go into a shop to try a bass or 3 & the only thing they generally have strung with flats is a Pino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redstriper Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Hi John, I think you're right and the law of diminishing returns comes strongly into play with Fenders. The AVs and custom shops are obviously better, but not by enough to justify the price difference. Still want one though! I sold the MIM and bought a Farida Jazz for £150 new and it's a corker - closest to my '63 that I've played. I don't get why Fender go to the trouble of getting all the details right on the AVs and then fit them with strings that weren't even invented when the original basses were in production. Anyway, enjoy the Jazz and I'll take it off your hands when I hit 60 in 5 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
