    • @zr2700
      @zr2700 4 года назад +8

      Alex Parsa yes, sound is one aspect. I put a set of CS60s jazz bass pickups in my player series bass and it sounds as good, if not better than the bass in this video.
      However, these basses are more than just the sound though. The new American Ultra series features heaps of comfort and playability upgrades across the board. Not to mention the build quality is fantastic on the high end American stuff. I wouldnt pay that much for the sound alone, when I can get a cheaper bass and swap the pickups. But what you’re paying for is a better made instrument all round. Not to mention the often look much nicer. I mean, the ultra jazz bass in ultraburst or Texas tea is just incredibly SEXY!

    I just got one... 4 string Jazz Ultra in Antique Natural Ash. It's a beast. Slickest Jazz Bass I've ever played... and I've played a few. Fast, slim, beefy sound... perfectly balanced at a shade under 9 pounds. Fretwork, intonation, ability to be set up the way I need it... all perfect. The ONLY idea I can offer for an improvement is for the hollow cavity under the pickguard near the control plate (for the preamp) should be filled with foam or something. I'll probably try it myself on this one... but you can feel that little rectangle of hollowness under the pickguard while using certain techniques. I'm very touch oriented and that make me go hmmmmm. I bet a bit of squishy foam fixes it. :) But really, an outstanding version of the trusty Jazz Bass... I can see where you were aiming with this and it's great. Nice work Fender!

      @@jazperson It is normal for all electric guitars. The instrument is electrically shielded by your body but only if you are touching the strings. You should always be touching a string, the bridge, or some metal part of the guitar at all times to prevent this.

    The noiseless is VERY GOOD. IT IS NOT a gimmick I own them on my elite telecaster as well. The S1 switching bonds the pups and it sounds like a clear but punchy humbucker. Thins out as you would like and expect on the neck for the perfect tool and very good. Would I buy again? Only on a huge sale. You can get similar quality and tone for half the money. You are paying for this video and the hundreds of other videos and the salary of alllllll these freaking people.
    That said I own 4 fender guitars and a 100 Rumble and pedals. It's all good stuff. Buy it on sale or rent it first. Pawn shops are an amazing resource usually. Bills don't care where the money comes from #amirite

      Noiseless pickups are among Fender’s best... once you swap out the preamps!
      (Trust me. Get a good audere preamp or something and see the difference of these pickups, it’s crazy)
      As far as passive sound, nothing beats the custom shop 60s jazz bass pickups! I guarantee it sounds as good if not better than any American fender currently in Fender’s lineup, including the Ultra series.

      Many bassists want that click in the tone. The simplest way to remove a fair amount of the clickiness is to simply roll down the tone and/or raise the action. Using flatwounds instead of nickelwounds or roundwounds helps big time
