    Bully, I watched both your review and Low End Lobster's... and I still purchased the bass. Low End did make some credible observations..which really points out potential risks of purchasing an instrument sight unseen. I got my instrument for a reseller that posts photos of the instruments to choose from. I have to admit that I made my selection considering the string spacing photo. Your observations on the neck feeling like a p-bass, the tone quality and characteristics are spot on. I did spend some time working on the tapering of the frets...filing and sanding with micro mesh pads 1500-12000 grit...butter soft now...All other specifications were within factory tolerance with the exception of the nut height. The nut was cut just a little too short. I prefer using a tuner looking at the tonation fretting the first fret (3 of the 4 strings were slightly sharp). So I'll probably change out the nut in the future... I may put in a 500k volume pot and 0.1uf tone cap to get some additional clarity and articulate tone at the top end.....I have my collection of basses... the reality is that not two are exactly the same....and have learned that all have needed some minor tweaking... Bottom line...I appreciate both of the review. Both provided a means of making an informed decision. Thanks again from a new subscriber!

    @@daviddesmond2143 I did. No one manufactures at 100% quality. There were good reviews too. The key issues I saw from the reviews were string alignment over the neck and pickup; weak sound from the E-string; and slipshod fret end finishing. I should fist disclose that I do work on all of my basses. I purchased the instrument from a dealer that provides photos of the serial numbered instrument. So I could clearly see that there weren't any issues with the string alignment. I did watch other reviews. A common takeaway is the instrument had a good neck. I took the chance that the weak E-string sound was due to string alignment. As far as fret ends....I always work on them to get the feel I want. I did put in some time smoothing out the fret ends. Overall, it was still a good buy and I think good value. It was less expensive than my MTDs, Dingwall's, Ibanez, and other Fenders....and the work I did was worth the effort.

Instruments will always be instruments but a few things that i'd like to highlight in these three videos. 1. Bully always keeps it real and honest. 2. Low end is definitely the luthier's bass player. 3. Bully will make any bass sound good. But on a reactionary note: 1299.99? yikes, I admit I truly don't know what Fender is up to. I honestly thought this was a squire release but there it it is next to all the other all the other American series basses. The gold foil guitars look pretty nice though..

    I shared this as a reply down in the thread but figured I should post this here in the event it might benefit someone. 👍 ​ I rolled the dice on this one even after I saw the lobster review... I too noticed that the AV RI II's weren't too much more expensive... I was considering the AVRI II 1966 Jazz. I went with the gold foil just because it's "different".. Not something I have. Knowing the quality concerns, I gave it a thorough exam when it arrived . I have to say that it came in without any build quality issues. The bridge seems perfectly centered, The E & G strings both had 3/16" from the edge of the neck in the strings, at the bridge, were spot on 19 mm apart save for the D string which was 1 mm closer to the G but after I moved it one notch closer to the A, everything was perfectly lined up w/19 mm spacing. That was insignificant. E string was just under 1/8" high at the 20th fret as was the A (I say a bit under... They were less than 1/8" but more than 3/32". The D & G strings were spot on at 3/32". When checking pickup height adjustment, with the strings depressed at the 20th fret, The E string was 1/8" off the pickup at the front.. And 3/32" at the rear of the pickup. Whereas the G string was 3/32" at the front and 1/16" at the rear. The pickup is clearly canted towards the neck... With the bridge side higher. Is this what was intended from the factory? That I don't know... But I'm sure people will adjust accordingly to their taste anyway. 👍. All in all, I have no complaints with the way this came set up from the factory. Now I'll just let it sit for about a month to acclimate to my neck of the woods, I'll adjust accordingly and this bad boy is gig ready. 👍👍 Maybe the original release or certain production runs had some genuine quality control issues.. Which is something that should not happen, especially for a bass at this price. That said, maybe fend (hopefully) figured out which production run was bad and recalled them all 🤞. Anyway.. I hope this information helps some bottom enders in their research! In the meantime... Stay low and duck your head, cuz here I come. 😎👍

    I saw Lobster's video first, and going into this knowing the issues, I can see the strings aren't lined up right over the pickup. Not sure I'd have noticed it myself, possibly even while playing it. In terms of the strings being misaligned to the neck, I feel like I'd notice while playing it if it was the G string (I have a bad tendency to pull the G string off the bottom of the fretboard while playing), but not the E string. It seems to me like the pickup is just too small even if it was lined up right though! I don't get the idea of a Jazz Bass with only one pickup… but I do have to say this bass has a nice sound and it looks amazing. Too bad QC in Fender's Mexico factory is so poor. I've had issues with almost every MIM instrument I've owned. Just sold my last one and don't plan to buy another. (Still love Fender though!)

    Be advised that I've just heard back from Fender and they will not sell you these pick-ups if you've an ambition to add a second, AND...'may' not even have any to supply repair or warranty work. They were made for Fender and are 8K, not the 5K or 6K look alikes on sale elsewhere.

    Here’s what I’ve learned from my almost 50 years of playing, 30 years of modding, and almost 10 years of building. I’ve not found a “name brand” off the shelf instrument that warrants the sometimes outlandish sticker price. (Fender and ESPECIALLY Gibson are the worst offenders IMO) Do they make good instruments? Sure. Do the instruments in hand justify the price? Not to me. What I’ve discovered is the lions share of the sticker on custom, hand made instruments is the man hours required to make the thing as close to perfect as possible.

    Why are there so many comments that have nothing to do with 'this' particular video? This content producer didn't mention anything about misaligned pickups, low E drop-off, or poor fret work. Maybe it is the case that this instrument doesn't suffer the QC issues (mentioned elsewhere) quite as badly or at all, relative to the instruments received by other reviewers. The point is...HE didn't mention them so its unhelpful that you put words in his mouth. These posts cause this to read more like a thread on a forum than a KZread video.

    Sounds like a Jazz bass with the bridge pickup turned off, has the neck of a P-bass, and costs 1200 quid. I’d MUCH rather get a Fender Player series Jazz bass from GC or Sweetwater, save $350, and essentially miss nothing (tone wise). But that’s just me.

    Lets be honest. When you visit a n average music/guitar store - there is always a lot of crap on the wall with a large F on the headstock. I love fender basses, had a lot myself but there are many other brands, with a serious QC. Very often Made in USA (Mex) means a lot of crap. Thats the truth but Bully doesnt like to hear it when its about a 7ender. ;)

    I saw the video Lobster posted, it was a little harsh. I would have sent the bass back, not reviewed it. He compared it to some 70$ bass on Amazon, which is pretty much insane to compare that. Need to keep the opinions under control, sometimes just do the job. Not his job to be some type of authority on any products. Fender has always made a good sounding bass. Lobster, while he's a nice guy, I'm not taking his opinion on Fender seriously at all.

Thats insane to me as well for that type of money. Now, i woulda stopped there, but to claim he has no professional experience is kinda crazy to me. The dude is a CRAZY good tech and this is where his opinions come from where others lack. His playing is great so id be willing to assume hes played gigs. Lmao yall saying hes on the spectrum is just rude at best. If yall are so much better, THEN DO IT. give us a reason to not watch lobster. But until you can do as good of in depth reviews as he can.
