    Ideal bass to gig with! Maximum versatility due to the additional jazz bass pickup and moderately priced so you don't end up breaking the bank to get your hands on one. Moment Fender comes out with more color/pickguard variations as well as a left-handed option for folks like myself is when they'll start seeing a lot more backorders for it.

    Bought myself a white body/black pick-guard one (I originally wanted the Ultra P bass aged natural but they’re discontinued now). In love with the P and J in one, no buyer’s remorse, and I highly recommend this baby to anyone!

    Cool bass. The J pickup seems to have a significantly different voice in the upper mids / high frequencies compared to the traditional Fender J / bridge tone. And kudos to Pete for doing such a great job on these videos. Seems like a cool guy.

    • @samthebassman6153

      Cincho that could be a fault on your bass . Rarely does that ever happen but you might have to take it to a store and get the tone pot replaced

    • @shaftahoy
      @shaftahoy 4 роки тому

      It's because it has a slightly different tone circuit to a regular P bass - Whereas a regular tone circuit causes a large bump in the low-mids as you roll it down, this one largely avoids the bump and just rolls off high frequencies. It can be difficult to hear when you're playing, especially at low volumes, because the actual acoustic sound of the highs can mask the sound of the highs coming through the speaker - You'll definitely hear a difference if you record it and play it back.

      Davie504 is VERY much overrated and is NOT all that, so I DO NOT get what the fuss is all about; he is only a just-above-average bass player that happens to be blown out of proportion by UA-cam. But what I just cannot understand for the life of me why the legendary James Lee Jameson does NOT have a signature bass by Fender instead.
