  • Great bass, poor quality.

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Oct 21, 2003
    Pros: Great sounding jazz bass. Awesome look.
    Cons: Truss rod might die. Poor assembly quality.

    Summary: I've bought this thing used from my friend, who bought it from some other guy a couple of years ago. The condition of the instrument was nearly mint which was surprising - the bass was my friend's main instrument for a couple of years. The bass dates ... read more

  • The 62 Reissue Jazz does not give you the most for your money

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    May 4, 2002
    Pros: Classic looks, familiar feel, good tone
    Cons: Non-reinforced neck, poor quality control for this price range

    Summary: Funny thing about Fenders these days--when they're good, they're great; when they're bad, they're really bad. Mine suffered from some severe construction flaws. Fender's 62 Jazz Bass Reissue has been one of their best-selling models ... read more

  • A classic revisited

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Mar 8, 2002
    Pros: An authentic, great-looking, great-sounding and very playable reissue bass
    Cons: None that I can think of

    Summary: Fender's USA-built '62 Jazz is a misnomer-the concentric tone/volume controls disappeared in 1961. However, this bass is a beauty in just about every way. In sunburst, the nitro-cellulose finish dulls to a realistic-looking vintage sheen through ... read more

    Pros: Solid Versatile bass. Unique chrome stack-pot knobs.
    Cons: "Ash-trays" don't come attached. Awkward truss rod adjustment. Finish prone to chipping.

    Summary: About a year ago I was looking to purchase an American-Made Fender bass. I was replacing the traditional Tuba in a concert band, and needed a versatile bass that could be used from Jazz to Rock to classical. I had my eye on the American standard ... read more

  • An nice recreation of an great original

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Aug 29, 2001
    Pros: A great reissued bass. Has great sound and feel to it
    Cons: None

    Summary: It has a sunburst nitro-cellulose lacquer finish, alder body, small/fast maple neck (with yellow tinted finish to simulate and aged look), rosewood fretboard 1.75" @ nut/7.25" radius, 20 frets (frets are the smaller vintage fret wires), dot inlay ... read more
