Help on a new bass im planning

[Kevstein]

Hi All,

I am planning on getting a new bass. I currently have a 1989 Charvel Precision bass which i love and is good, but when playing jazzier stuff it not the best suiting sound. Its really nice sounding when it comes to rock and metal.

The bass i was looking at to achieve the jazz sound is the Squier Jaguar Jazz with 2 single coil pickups, and a volume and tone knob per pup. Korean, japanese or USA made.

They are advertised with different levels. "Squier Jaguar Jazz bass level 3" etc. What does this mean? I cant find any info on this on the internet whatsoever.

Also, would you recommend these? I was planning this for 2 reasons.

1) because i cant afford a genuine Fender at the moment which is why these were made i suppose.

2) because ive seen videos and i think they sound good.

Any decent jazz alternatives to look at for the same price?

Any help on this would be much appreciated.

Kev.

If you up the budget a little bit more, you maybe able to find a used Fender on the sale forum.

I've heard good things about the Tanglewood/Overwater J-style basses.
