Hi Everyone, It's Christos here. AKA, The Frag! And today, I pay homage to the legendary, Rod Stewart. I have uploaded a video on UA-cam playing along to the same track. However, back then, I was using a Fender Jazz bass. This time, I'm using my trusty Fender Made in Japan Hybrid II Precision Bass. I love playing along to Maggie May, and I recall the first time I heard this classic track. It re...

It’s just a Mexican strat…….
@nesjo7777 . I hear you. However, not that that is a limitation. It's about the joy of customising your guitar and enjoying an enhanced instrument.
@ how many woodblocks in this MIM strat!? 4 or 5 pieces! Beware; its a solid colour! (US 2 or 3 pcs) come on!!
He was all right, I was right near him
@@havanadaurcy1321. Thank God for that. Things could have been much worse.
Gran upgrade!, esas modificaciones fueron excelentes! Se escucha y se mira muy bien! Saludos!
Well done
@BobSmith-fx5tt . Thanks, Bob. I really appreciate your kind words. Happy New Year, and keep ROCKING! 🤘🎸🎸🤘
Excellent job Christos, totally nailed it!👏🏼🎶

Do you know which Gotoh brand saddles are compatible with the Fender player?
Hi There, These are the Gotoh bridge saddles I used. Specifically, the brass saddles. guitartrade.com.au/gotoh-s11-narrow-saddles-10-5-brass-chrome?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAm-67BhBlEiwAEVftNiWWbiOVBYBqqRPEHcWBdWRvwj_bjBK4RiAenrT9bcqtp-liRBYgTBoCX7wQAvD_BwE
😂 Brilliant you bought a fender vintera jazz bass changed the bridge, wiring, pick ups and tuners and after all that it’s a good bass 😂 should have just got a body and neck and built your own. 🥴🤷🏼♂️
@@steviemac8075. I didn't change the tuners. But I did sell it! 😛😜🤪😝
💯 %!!!
F 🖤O 🖤R 🖤E 🖤 V 🖤E 🖤R I hope they are back in 2025 They only get better
@@celesteingall3362. I'll definitely be going again. 🤘🎸🎸🤘
Can we hear the bass, an A B comparison would have been nice. For traditional p tone, just play the bass. There is a reason why 80% of the rock/pop hits last century were recorded with a stock p bass. My experience with high mass bridges is that they add sustain and treble, two things I don’t seek in a traditional p tone. Nothing wrong with the stock parts, so idd do your research and play the instrument before spending extra money that might not even improve the tone to your liking.
@timothysegal3589 . I focussed more on providing viewers with insights on my upgrades. There are more than enough videos on UA-cam on sound comparisons, but very few videos on providing informed commentary on upgrades. It's obvious your experiences, especially with Hi-mass bridges, are subjective and possibly some were negative. To clarify your comment, all the upgrades I made I thoroughly researched! Not only was I satisfied with the upgrades, their enhancements to tone and playing were beyond my expectations! It was definitely money well spent. And allows me to customise the instrument to my preferences. Subscribe to my channel! I am positive you will gain many benefits and insights!
Hi christos, did you try out the player 2 jazz bass before settling on the MIJ hybrid? I'm debating on which to get and it seems most are unavailable for me to try.
@zoiken4 . Not yet. However, if I get into a band again, I'll definitely consider a Player II Series Precision bass. Alternatively, if I don't, I'd like to get a MIJ Hybrid II Precision bass. I've seen a Player II Precision bass as low as $1,000 here in Australia 🇦🇺. Which is great 👍 value.
@zoiken4 . I should add the Player II series has medium jumbo frets. The MIJ basses will have tall vintage/narrow frets. The former is likely to last longer. Also, the MIJ Traditional and Heritage series have their truss rod nuts located in the neck heel. Meaning you have to remove the neck. The Hybrid II MIJ and the Player II series have the truss rod nut located at the headstock making adjustments quicker and easier.
i tested several les pauls, the 2018 traditional was unbelievable so i bought it . little fret noise , low bridge great action , smooth, greatest sound im not amazing player, and i sounded like a studio fr
@jbenedict967 . I had a tobacco sunburst and loved it. I hope Gibson bring them back. Congratulations 🎊 on yours.
I have a 2016 Traditional. It's an absolute beast
It sure is, and pleased that you're enjoying it. Hopefully Gibson will reintroduce them. Till then, Keep ROCKING and Merry Christmas! 🤘🎸🤘🎸
Great review thanks for that. Even i got many usa made basses i am in love with this color then i bought one. Realy so nice touch grabbin neck, plays so fast, sounds good however its boxing was not good, it was wraped good but shaking in the carton and it came with some little finish cracks around neck pocket and also a lil gap in neck pocket and a lil dent on the bottom.
@@ahmetbiyiq. Enjoy your new bass 🔊 😎 and thank you for sharing your experiences. If the dents and cracks are too big, maybe you can return it. Keep ROCKING! 🎄🤘🎸🎸🤘🎄
Just another note, I was able to replace the pick guard on mine with a standard P-Bass one. It wasn't hard getting it out from under the extended overlapping neck part at all.
@markholmes6286 . Glad to hear it all worked out. Merry Christmas and keep ROCKING! 🤘🎸🎸🤘🎄🎅
Did you say you needed to use an Allen wrench to adjust the truss rod? If so, you probably have a Chibson!!
@@Fontenotcjf. No, I used a Gibson truss rod adjustment tool. This was as real as a Gibson Les Paul gets!

An actual bass player can spot a guitar player attempting to play bass miles away for sure 😂😂😂
LOL! 🤣🤣🤣 It's all part of my musical journey. The fact that I can continue to learn to play and enjoy more musical instruments, is a blessing from God! And reciprocally, guitarists too, can spot bassists attempting to play the electric guitar from light years away! Keep ROCKING! 🤘🎸🤘🎸
Thanks for your honest review love the mexican players love the mexican guitars

Too cool! 🤘🎸🎸🤘
Love the cult, hope to see them when they come back to North America 2025 or 2026
So much careful attention to detail, but skipped right over the one thing I absolutely wanted to know. 😂 What is the width of the nut in inches?
@@davidknupp7019. Thanks, David. Sorry I missed it. The nut is 1.650" wide. Trust this helps. 🤘🎸
@ Thank you!
Cool bass. When will you be replacing the body and neck?
Thanks, I've already sold it, but I wouldn't change the body or neck. Just hardware and electronics. Keep ROCKING! 🤘🎸🎸🤘
@@christosfragias592didn’t bond with it?
@dmitrivincent1433 . No. I bought a Fender made in Japan Hybrid II Precision bass and have been buying made in Japan Fenders since. 🤘🎸🎸🤘
@@christosfragias592 I guess you like the Japanese a little more :) I like your reviews. I recently found a vintage fender mim jazz bass made in 1993 for £50.00. Upgrading the pickups to bartolini and just got the fender himass brass bridge. Will see how it sounds.
Hi, nice review!! where do you get the source that the tuners are gotoh GB10, I can find the specifications anywhere.
@King_Kobra87 . Thank you for your kind words. I went on to Gotoh's website and found the model number visually matching. Keep ROCKING! 🤘🎸🎸🤘
I love it!👏👏
@D79R-jd2ro thank you so much. Keep ROCKING! 🤘🎸🎸🤘
It's Wayne! Wayne Kinopf!
too much talk. no demo or guitar /sound demo... disappointing ... since you look like you are about to play... throughout the entire video. . Demo what you talk about.. just a tip. HSH pro 2. is on the way in the mail. so the topic is very relevant. examples tell me more in 10 seconds than anyone talking for 30 minutes. ideally 3 -5minutes talking and 6 to ten minute sound demo. but cool guitar. ;)
@@RuneJacobsen-ox7cr. Thanks for your feedback. It's impossible to cater to everyone. Having said that, I have posted a few videos jamming with this guitar along to my favourite tracks, and that is the true comparison for me. Congratulations, and enjoy your new HSH. Keep ROCKING! 🤘🎸🎸🤘
@@christosfragias592 I had some training in media, filming, photos, etc. camera on pod.. ... cut in close up of strings, the neck, and the controls that you are using. (amp controls and guitar). for a few bucks .. people online will edit and cut your video to professional level. difference is mind-blowing . like Jimi Hendrix vs my neighbours cat.. lol . 🎸🔕🎸🎸🎸
No tones?
@2309612 . As mentioned in the video, there is a link in the description of me playing the Vola along to a track I like. Please check it out and keep ROCKING! 🤘🎸🎸🤘
Awesome choice and you really played it with style brother 🤟
@@marcstamcosoundscapes. Thanks, Brother. Hope you are well. 🤘🎸🎸🤘
Sounds great!
@@gidan6228. Thank you. 🤘🎸🎸🤘
Thanks for the review. I got a black one with maple neck and I love it. I came here because I wanted to know if the pickups were defective, thanks for explaining that they aren't. I also had no idea what hybrid meant so it's good to have that answered too. Note mine came with the soft case like yours but also had two allen keys, one for the truss rod and one for the bridge saddles. So I presume people in imperial countries would get them and would be wise to hold onto them for the reasons you've said.
Hi Mark, Thank you for sharing your experiences. I recently purchased another Hybrid II in the same finish. Albeit, in the Jazz Bass, and loving it. I have recently posted two videos on my review of my newly acquired Hybrid II Jazz Bass in black with the maple fretboard. The first review video I posted was of the instrument stock, as it came from the Fender Japan factory. The second video was reviewing the same bass after I made modifications to it. Like changing the pickups, bridge etc. If you haven't subscribed to my channel, please do so. Thank you. Keep ROCKING! 🤘🎸🎸🤘
Thank you for the very useful information! It seems that ObsidianWire is available in Japan , so I will buy it next time. I will use soldering for the main instrument as I will be replacing capacitors, etc., but I will introduce ObsidianWire to the instrument for modification and use it for testing pickups. This will save me from the smoke that comes out every time I test the pickups. Thanks for sharing your valuable information!
@LazyPitch_レイジーピッチ . My pleasure, and thank you for kind words. I am honoured that you find my videos useful. I appreciate your positive feedback. ObsidianWire products are very good quality. 🤘🎸🎸🤘
Great update. I have found the pickups from the Hybrid II Jazz to be underwhelming, but the instrument itself to be one of the best around (American included). On a side note----- if you still have the original Hybrid II pickups from your Precision Bass----I'd be interested in purchasing them. All the best.
@Kyle-fv2dy . Thanks, Kyle. And you're 💯 per cent spot on. This bass easily stacks up against the Fender USA 🇺🇸 basses any day. As for the pickups, yes, I'm glad to sell them at the right price. What's the best way we can contact each other?

Hi Jim. Thank you for your kind words. Yes, you're right. It is made in Mexico.
Thought you were going to play the actual bass part. That would have been useful

Lost interest at the lesson on radius of curvature. Have a good day. Bye.

im a big fender japan fan,but why did they change the logo on the hybrids to the silver fender logo.the older hybrids have the spaghetti gold logo,which to me is nicer
@elbib2446 . Fair enough. I like the spaghetti 🍝 logo as well. But I also like the current logo. Maybe in the Hybrid III, Fender may revert back to the spaghetti 🍝 🤔 logo. Keep ROCKING! 🤘🎸🎸🤘
