Love the sound love Fenders. I have a Victor Bailey that honks!I listen twice l liked it so much.

I've owned one of these MIM Active Jazz Deluxe jobs in Sunburst and Tortise since 2009. It's my go to workhorse. I have two other Fenders, a 68 Jazz American, and a MIM PBass in my collection. Love 'em all, but there will always be a special affinity for Fender in my appreciation for all things bass.

love you fam, love your positivity in these trying times!

The bass the guitar +your style just sound real good the colour just make me hyper active keep on blowing and creating good stuff.☺👍🌟

Why do I always get happy when Johnny gets bubbly about a bass? 🤣🤣🤣🤣😆😆😆

My goodness that is one of the nicest sounding MIM Fender's I have ever heard.

hehe good vid. i am primarily an upright player, but i love my mexi jazz v. its passive. i put a "henry switch" on it (push pull vol pot that put the pickups in series. fat city)

That bass is NICE !! That was a great era for Mexican Fenders.

Second video of yours I've watched and I was hoping for the funk. I was not disappointed. Beautiful playing!

Love that sound totally clean and funky.

Crazy tone on that Mexican Jazz!! 🔥

Hi Johnny !!!! I LOVE TO SEE YOU GIVE THE BASSES THAT KIND OF LOVE AND COMPLETE ATTENTION THAT THEY NEED!! ITS GOOD TO KNOW THAT YOU ARE HERE FOR THE BASS COMMUNITY!!! THANK YOU FOR BEING SO INFORMATIVE AS WELL. I’VE GOT 40 yrs. INVESTED AS A WORKING BASSIST/GUITARIST. THAT FENDER MIM JAZZ 5 TONE IS 🔥🔥🔥!!!

And all this time, I thought you were a MM Stingray man Johnny!!! LOL

I had the Vintage White one...but it really looked yellow like banana pudding...with a matching 4 string as well. Seller's remorse has kicked in!

great playing great man

Great sounding bass!

I got the exact same bass as well. It's been giving me neck issues since I bought it from guitar center in Chicago in 2013. I'm in Nigeria now but I can't fix her and it really pains me a lot. I'll find a way to maybe send her over to get a Hobo makeover.

I have the Jaguar 5 string bass and got that tone you believe that love it!

I still have mine..Exact same Bass

Man the bass sounds AMAZING!!!

Sold lol. Good energy and playin dog!

I absolutely LOVE mine! Passive Mexi-5 in natural w/tortoiseshell pickguard. I get so many compliments, and ppl saying if I ever wanna sell it to let’em know. I wanna upgrade it to some creme EMGs and EMG BQC pre 18v

Fender has that Woody Punch,

I had that exact bass Johnny...great sounding instrument! The neck was a little too "mobile" for me so I got rid of her. BTW...I dig your PJs!

Wow that’s so awesome 😎

Fender México the factory is in Ensenada, Baja California Norte, is where I live

I see your sidekick (Owl) with his mask on. I never cared for MIM active jazz basses but your adjustments made it sound BETTER!! Like it a lot!!!🤨🎸👍🏾

You read my mind, that thing is SHINY!!!

Had one of these! Had to replace the stock pickups, though. Really didn't have the hump or the cut.

I seen a squire years ago like that ,,and i regret not buying it ....it was a great bass

Sounds good as hell.

I know your camera almost got cracked.😂 Anyway,thanks for an enjoyable video.

Hello mr Long, love your videos thank you for everything you do sir, I have a Mexican fender j5 with an audere preamp and I would like to add the Emg pickups as well, sir are they a straight fit or will there need to be some modifications done thank you

That thing is gorgeous, but I wish it had the clover tuners

Im gonna have to take one of my basses to the hobo depot

Man that is my favorite year of Fender’s Question I have a fender ultra bass what do you think about those?

That’s my old bass teacher’s bass!!

Man i love your videos. Would you allow me to calle my new band Shalakaka? I promise to dedicate al concerts to you. You're joy man. Than you.

Go 4 it....Shada. ka ka

I once had a Deluxe Active Jazz 5 (MIM) that I purchased brand new during a Guitar Center List Sale for $239! Nice bass, but I didn't really like the neck profile. I miss those List Sales from the late '90s/early 2000s!

johnny i have this exact bass, although it's stock i'm glad you did a review on it. can you tell me what exact upgrades were done? my pickups are the single pole piece type.

You have the version with the Suhr pickups in it! They sing and are punchier than normal jazz pickups because of the single medium sized poles- the perfect size. They smack. Larger poles dont spank as hard because the string’s energy isn’t focused into that one small point right underneath. Poles any smaller would warble, fart and drop out on large bends. Great pickups. Keep them!

When are you going to review a Ibanez Prestige sr5005 whats your thoughts?

Hey! That's the same bass I have! :D guess I got lucky

You should try to be a little more excited Mr. Johnny -- I mean it could be unmistakeably great if you did lol!

Can anyone enlighten me as to the meaning of ‘they refuse to lay completely on the neck’ around the 3m 43s mark? I am from the UK and haven’t heard that phrase before (or a MIM bass that sounds THIS good). Keep on shatakaka-ing, Johnny. Your videos never cease to impress, amuse and inspire.

Dukey,man thank u for your comment...refuse to lay,means some bass the strings can lay low on the neck,on most of the old fenders because of the bridge the strings want lay

Hey man I’m learning a lot from you I just started playing in January I have a 5 string Mexican jazz bass that I’ve had for a long time but never played it let a friend use it at his church I do play a lead guitar so I do know some what of what’s happening can you give me some shout music tabs and some scales that could get me going

Concrete on your 1 to 4 runs...in the key that u in break the 1 chord up by starting g on the 3 ,5 or 2 by scaling from those root to get back to the 4

Shada ka ka, if this sounds like a dumb question just ignore it. Do you do payment plans? I want a good bass that's been set up by a pro. My beatle bass I bought in 1968 in Mpls. got lost. Thanks much, Norman

I admit: EMG actives with just volume and a tone have a nice crystal bite that isn't harsh. Real transparent.

What did you do to it?! It doesn't* look like a 96, it looks like a brand new bass! What type of finish are you spraying because I'm assuming you painted* her... Lady in red!
