bubinga5 Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Hey people, what does everyone think of Fender jazz 24's on here. Any thoughts? Quote
Buzz Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 (edited) I'll refer you to your own thread (of a couple): [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=11250&hl=jazz+24"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...&hl=jazz+24[/url] and to here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=10010&hl=jazz+24"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...&hl=jazz+24[/url] And finally, the search query: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?act=Search&CODE=show&searchid=872866d60ea21271012d9b1fb90f41b6&search_in=posts&result_type=topics&highlite=%2Bjazz+24"]Jazz 24[/url] Not trying to be rude or offend you, but the fact you've asked a number of times and got little or no responses shows that we've not exactly come across them much on here, perhaps a google adventure for reviews might yield more results.

TheRinser Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 I've only seen and played one of these. My old housemate has one. Sounds great live and in the studio and felt really nice to play. Active circuit worked as expected. Good build quality. Looks nice too. Quote
budget bassist Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 (edited) I played one on monday against a squier VM fretted. Suffice to say that the squier was better. It was half the price, it was brighter and the neck felt slimmer to me. The 24 had a higher output but it wasn't particularly clear what the controls did and i couldn't find a whole load of workable tones. Also the neck finish wasn't that nice and it felt fatter than the squier. Don't get one. EDIT: so you already have one... lol nevermind Edited June 5, 2008 by budget bassist Quote
XB26354 Posted June 7, 2008 Posted June 7, 2008 Well I tried one today, albeit a 5-string deluxe (Korean), and it is lightweight, well-balanced, its got SD Basslines single coils, a quilt top and a nice 3-band eq for £599 retail. If it were not for the slightly more chunky neck profile it could easily pass for a US deluxe or Sadowsky/Lakland Skyline sound and playability-wise. I was gobsmacked. Perhaps they're variable in quality? Quote
budget bassist Posted June 7, 2008 Posted June 7, 2008 As i said, they're korean, same as some epiphones have QC issues, and obviously it's all pretty subjective anyway. Don't get me wrong, it looked really nice, but the pickups didn't seem all great to me and the neck didn't quite feel like a jazz should. Quote
AREA Posted June 8, 2008 Posted June 8, 2008 (edited) If it has to be the Fender...o.k. but if you want a Jazz Bass with 24 Frets, there are many Alternatives... This One for Example........ ...also available in any other Colour, or with Rosewood Fretboard...aktive Passive, different Pickups...etc. I´m a committed Player of these Basses. Really great Craftmanship & amazing Sound Edited June 8, 2008 by AREA Quote
