Simple choice

[Lowness]

I have tried a lot of different basses in recent times. The more basses I play (Fender or otherwise), the better my Fender American Standard Jazz sounds, as do the other American Standards I try.

I think from now on, I will only buy Fender American Standard instruments + use an external pre-amp.

The effort of going elsewhere is not worth it.

Oh boy, I think Pandora has an open box for you!!!! Soon the Squire minions will be along to tell you just how much better their budget level basses are than your MIAs.

I think that you have made a wise choice though, you can't really go wrong with Fender American Standards!!

Good - it reduces the price pressure on my American Standards.

The Mexican versions of those basses aren't bad basses at all. But I'm happier with the AM Jazz and Precision basses, as well. For whatever reason.

You're going to have to mention the other basses and give specific reasons you like your Fender better or the wolves are going to rip you apart. Opinions are fine to have, but that kind of information will give them validity.

MIM is fine, as is is Sadowsky and Fodera.

Been there, done that............can't be bothered.

I am pretty sure I don't have to do these things mentioned.

That's true, but be ready.

 

[bholder]

What a bold thing to say.

 

[Lowness]

Sure.......I am ready to not respond.

Prepare to have your ignore list expand by at least 7

I love my MIAs but I do have my eye on an MIM drool

 

[scrubjay]

What external preamp are you using?

What external preamp are you using?

MXR 81

Love one pre-amp and many passive basses.

You'd be crazy to keep on looking after you've found what you are looking for. Congrats on beating GAS!

Anyone who feels otherwise about your choice is just jealous.

Jazz basses rule. I love that throaty tone of a passive jazz with all of the knobs maxed:

Wow - I'm sold!

 

[Alexander]

Wait - aren't P Basses better?

I have been ignored by many people and been told as much........which is somewhat counter intuitive.

I like this pre-amp because it is simple - (except the Sadowsky pedal) every other pre-amp pedal seems to have a million other tricks embeded which I don't care for. The MXR is also a good pre-amp though I have no idea if it is better or worse than other pre-amps..............if someone wants to tell me I'll be sure not to listen.
