TGEvans Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 Am I correct in thinking it is just the electronics that is different between the american standard jazz and the american deluxe jazz basses? Also, does the deluxe have passive capabilities as well as being active? Any other differences please let me know. Played an an american standard jazz yesterday and it was amazing! Think I prefer them to the 75 re issues that I originally wanted! Quote
machinehead Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 My American deluxe jazz has a smaller body than a standard jazz which I much prefer. It is active only. The general quality is very high and it's a sturdy workhorse of a bass. Frank Quote

Great range of tones and silky smooth to play. Flung on a set of Thomastik Infield flats when I got it - - heaven Deaky Quote
EssentialTension Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 American Deluxe P here. Smaller body than the standard (mine's only 8lbs 5oz) and active only electronics. I think the same applies to the Jazz. I know some aren't keen but I like mine a lot. Quote
Musicman20 Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 Some prefer the active elecs and additions of the deluxe. I myself like the USA Standard....I love passive P and J bass tone. All down to taste Quote
