fender jazz question

Depending on when the model was manufactured, the MIM will have different sized pickups than the MIA model! Let's see, which is it....either the neck or bridge pickup is a different size on the MIM models, but according to Fender's propaganda, the newer models use the same sized ones now....

Don't believe there are any other neglible differences, except for the string-through-bridge option on the MIA Deluxe models....

 

The body wood would still be different (MIM poplar, MIA alder).

 

imo youd be better off with the mia body, youd get a warmer, deeper, and mellower tone from the alder than you would the poplar. Ive owned both basses and even tho the mim is good, the mia imo has a much better more professional tone, I credit this to the body wood of the mia

 

That's exactly what was done to my MIJ75ri !!!

-Bart 9j's
-J-Retro
-BadAss II

...the bass is a tone monster !!!!

On the MIJ.....the bridge p/up is slightly larger...

On the one's I've seen, it's the other way round...the MIM has 2 bridge pups...

 

That has finally changed this year. The new Standard Jazz has a neck and a bridge pickup, and they are hum cancelling when combined. About time they fixed that!

 

Damn right!
