Detail 01, Knobz

In designing this beautifully crafted, exotic wood J Bass, Fender incorporated a host of features guided by Victor Bailey himself. The sleek body has a koa top over rosewood and mahogany. Noiseless pickups add warmth and lows that complement the body's natural clarity and brightness. The circuitry has been tweaked with pre-shape, boost, and EQ settings to enhance the unique sonic nature of the exotic woods. For maximum headroom, the circuit is powered by an 18-volt supply. The Jazz Bass includes a Fender hardshell case.

Tone and Looks

I walked into the music store one day 6 years ago with no intention of buying anything. I played this Bass and couldn't leave the store without it. I own a 1972 J-Bass that I hardly ever play anymore since I bought the Victor bailey model. The tone is unbelievable through my Hartke 500 watt head with pro series 4-10 aluminum and single 18 bottoms. Buy it even at today's prices. When I bought mine it was half of today's price. Nowhere for the price to go but up on this fine instrument. I love this Bass. When other bass players see it they are in awe....

I dislike active basses. This baby however has boatloads of tone w/ many options and no annoying hi-end hiss like other active basses I have played. Been using 1 for 6 years. The treble pot when turned down makes it sound passive. 18V circuit. Great pickups and terrifically balanced. Great bass.

I walked into the shop with the intention of buying exactly what I wanted, no compromises. So after playing every bass in the store at least twice, this was not a small store, it was the Victor Bailey Jazz that just felt right. And it still feels right after 6 years. The compliments I get when I pull this out of the case just reassure me that this bass is special. Holds tune relentlessly, wide tonal variety, and a beautiful finish, this bass has everything you need, except 9 volt batteries (unplug this sucker!).

Ive always strayed away from what the masses use, so I hardly ever touched Fender. I must admit though, that this is the only Fender that I would buy. The feel is great, and it sounds lovely. Im not a fender head, but Id make an exception for this bass.

This bass is remarkable all-around; however, the weight of it is kind of iffy.
