(2) The Chinese version has noise-canceling humbucking pickups, compared to the traditional single-coil pickups on the American bass. Other differences are (1) the wood - the Chinese bass is made from alder whereas the American version is made from ash. The Chinese bass only comes with a gig bag. I can also order a beige, tweed hard shell case (like the one that came with my 1960 bass) for about $130. The pick guard is black, but I can buy a tortoise shell pick guard from Sweetwater for less than $30.

It sounded great as well, even with the cheap Chinese strings that come with it (I will upgrade to better strings if I buy one). The finish on it was gorgeous, and the neck and action sublime. Yesterday I went to Guitar Center in Gilroy and played a Chinese Jazz Bass. The Chinese version above costs $499, compared to $1,350 for the American-made version on the right. With the advent of the Chinese made version of the bass, the price for a Jazz Bass has become very affordable. For sentimental reasons, I want one that is three-color Sunburst and has a tortoise shell pick guard - like the one my father bought for me in the long-ago summer of 1960.
#Burny guitar made in china professional
With my growing interest in becoming a professional bass player, I have developed a desire to have another Fender Jazz Bass. Even small hands can be trained to successfully navigate a standard bass guitar neck, and I have no problem with the full-sized neck on my Rickenbacker 4003. In 2005 I bought a Fender Mustang bass, thinking the shorter neck would be good for my small hands.
So Fender did away with them, and I agree with the decision.ĭuring the late 1960s, British rock was all the rage, and groups did not use Fenders as much - so I sold mine (big mistake). These accouterments were supposed to improve the looks of the bass, but for modern bass players, they are more of a deterrence than anything else. My Jazz Bass came with a nickel chrome tail piece with a big "F" on it, and also a chrome cover for the forward pickup. So, thanks to my father, I, the family musical slacker, was assigned the role of bass player. Since I was too lazy to learn guitar, he figured (mistakenly) that bass would be easier to play. My father bought it for me when I was 15 years old. My first bass was a brand new, 1960 Fender Jazz Bass.
