    I have this bass and love the greasebucket tone control. Let’s me tame the high frequencies on the spot without annoying the sound guy. The whole bass has a modern, clear, and punchy sound.

    I've got this performer bass, white artic, it's so beatufil, huge tone with that nice rosewood, I think grease bucket tone control is great, it solved for me many problems and it gives a nice color to the sound

    Nice review. I purchased my American Performer Jazz Bass right about the time you posted your video, but I’m just now seeing your post. I understand what you’re saying about the “grease bucket” tone circuit on these basses, but I must say I have a different experience with it. I, for one, have never found the standard tone knob on a jazz bass very useful because the tone is too muddy for much of its rotation until right about full “on”. But with this Performer’s “grease bucket” tone circuit, I can get a usable tone in the “off” position all the way through to full “on”. Personally I think this different tone circuit makes the bass more musical, IMHO.

  • @bassman108
    @bassman108 3 года назад

    I have a Performer Jazz and I agree about the grease bucket tone pot. I removed it and set the electronics up as a standard jazz bass. It sounds so much better. The only other up grade I did was to install a KSM bridge. This bass is a keeper now.

    Nice review. The GreaseBucket is a big no-go for me. I'm not sure what Fender was really trying to achieve with that circuit, but for me it's a swing and a miss. I had a Hwy One P-Bass with one and was glad to be rid of it.

    My favourite J tone is with one or the other pickup slightly leading, generally the front one, the tone roll off a bit (say 10% to 25% off) and, as you could see from my profile picture, with a pick. I'm considering buying the very same bass.

    I had this bass and didn't care for it at all. Pretty sure it was the greasebucket circuit. It just sounded muddy to me, and lacked the crisp high notes that I love in a jazz bass. I liked the plyers series jazz much better. Sounded better and I even liked the neck profile better. I'm a huge Fender fan, but I thought this particular bass just sort of missed the mark. Interested to hear your thoughts.

      @TylerSpicer  4 года назад +2

      The bass itself is a great playing and feeling bass. If I didn’t want those warmer old-school tones I’d be happy with it, but I love those sounds too much. I would probably buy an American Pro or Original based on my tastes, but if you offered the performer to me without the grease bucket, I’d probably buy it! That’s me though, if you like those more defined tones with more top, give it a go! T

    I don't think they make the American Fender "Standard" series anymore unless they do and call it something else but how would you say this American performer compares to the American Standard? if I'm not mistaken I think they stopped making the standard in 2016..

    • @TylerSpicer
      @TylerSpicer  2 года назад +1

      Yes, the "Professional" is what used to be the USA standard. I still prefer the USA Standards in comparison as I'm not a huge fan of the electronics in these. T

    Do you get much hum when you solo either of the pick ups or is the shielding pretty good? I totally love the sound of this bass but am trying to decide between this and the Fender American Performer Precision Bass.

    • @TylerSpicer

    Its a good bass. My problem with it is its just so generic. It doesnt have any character. There are 8 million fender basses that look exactly like this. Its a problem with fender across the board these days.
    They have a couple somewhat unique basses with the arctic pearl ultra jazz with the white block inlays and tortoise pickguard, that has some character to it, but most of them are just so bleh.
    They dont want to put the time and effort into create exciting pieces. Its rare for them when you get something new from fender and say “wow, that’s different. Id love to have it!” 90% of what they have are just serviceable basses. They work fine. Looks are pretty generic. And thats all it is. Serviceable. Not special at all.
