Fender really pushing the boat out here. Another jazz and P.

Fender MIJ stuff are just a cut above even their US made line, and I will die on this hill.

Love how Cici plays bass like a bass player. Epic (without all the solo noodling).

5:20 Jaco Pastorius in the house! Great playing & also amazing sound from Fender. They never dissappoint 😌

This duo is tops, Lee is the best there is an the Queen brings that it factor. She has stage presence like we wish we all had. She plays a lot of cords and harmonics but can also hold down the bottom in a trio. I would like to see and hear Nathan abuse a bass or two, miss him.

I love the Fender Japan basses. 21 frets is awesome, too.

Been playing and dealing in guitars and basses since 1972. Owned and played everything. In my opinion Fender Japan (Fuji Gen) make very special guitars/basses. There is something indefinably..."Just Right" about them.

I already have a custom built J bass which I love but I heard the intro and want a Fender J bass again. Lee's playing is mad.

THE MYSTERY OF THE SUSTAIN BLOCK IS REVEALED!!! Firstly, great review. I own a Hybrid II MIJ Precision bass, in Forest Blue, and love it! OK, I can confirm the sustain block is positioned directly under the bridge in a routed cavity. The top of the sustain block rests flush with the surface of the body. It is slightly narrower than the width of the base of the bridge. This is where it gets interesting. Of the five screws that secure the bridge to the body, the middle screw, (screw 3, looking left to right,) is actually a very small and short screw that secures the bridge to the sustain block, with the ground wire tightly set between the bridge and sustain block. So screw 3 makes NO contact with the body! The two most outer screws (screws 1 and 5, looking left to right,) screw straight into the bass through the bridge. However bridge screws 2 and 4, screw through the sustain block and into the body. Just be mindful, there is very little wood between the holes of screws 1 and 5 and the cavity wall of the sustain block. Remember, as the sustain block is only slightly narrower than the base width of the bridge. So take care not to over tighten screws 1 and 5, otherwise, you may crack this thin space of wood. I trust this clarifies.

I've got an E serial Japanese P bass which I bought new in 1987 & JV Squier Jazz bass from 1983, which I imported 2nd hand from Japan. Both absolute bargains & becoming quiet collectable now. I wouldn't swap them for Fender custom shop basses.

Cici is the bomb, keep bringing her back!

I own the P in forest blue. Outstanding craftmanship. Way better than MIA

Great jam guys! Cici you are so kick a$$ 😁 Lee you are amazing!! Cici that black P is soo you!!

Been jonesing for a Hybrid II Jazz V for the longest time, being that they are very hard to come by in the States. The red finish I’ve seen looks SO sleek!

Thanks for sharing 👍

You two really groove, that outro reminded me of Stanley Clarke, superb!

MIJ? say...no ..more! These are awesome! I love MIJ Fenders!

FINALLY 21 Frets!!! (I Guess that's where the "Modern" comes from, LOL!)

I'll take one of each, thanks..

Love the bass vids - cheers !

i love this bass jams

Wearing the hat in the intro, Lee looks like he should be cast in a 90s teen movie set in Midwest USA suburbia 😂

cc you rock loved this ,,be well and rock on

You guys are awesome

Nice, I have a ibonez 4 string, that sounds great!!👍yours, I meant

Cool hats 🎩

That Jbass is probably the same body as thhe american performer. The neck is sick and feels soo good

These are awesome I can't wait to buy, what's that? Oh, the US is isn't getting them. And your making another American series that costs to much. And the MIM basses still don't have rosewood fingerboards. Well I guess I won't be buying any Fender products then. At least not directly, to reverb.

I can’t even find these on Fender’s website? Which is too bad, they look so cool!

Now maybe it's a tall skinny bloke thing, but between Lee and Dave (Simpson) poor ol' Cici can hardly get a word in!

I’m angry with Fender Japan. I’ve wanted a short scale Jazz bass forever, and when they finally make one it’s Japan exclusive.

yup I need to buy both and switch the necks . Love a J bass but have big Chunky hands . I need that big neck ! So rare now ,Love it .

Why do bass videos when you dedicate less than 1% of your store to them? Please give basses some more space in your store rather than putting them in two broom closets in a forgotten corner.

I wonder how long before Fender or some other major Guitar builder goes Bankrupt? Inevitable these days.

What‘s a „sustain block“ in a solidbody instrument?

Great video and playing. Has nathan left ?

Is Nathan ever coming back?

Cici 🤘🤘🤘

This is not Fender Japan. This is Fender made in Japan. Fender Japan was an another company and it doesn’t exist anymore.

What material are the threads out of?

Do my eyes deceive me or did they make a traditional bass with an appropriate amount of frets (21)? If so, those are on my list - I’d prefer to get one stock instead of having to buy a neck from Warmoth - who make great necks, but you know…modified.

Need a high mass bridge

£1300 is too close to US pricing. 'this or a used Spector euro 5?'

So why did you guys decide to raid Ritchie Blackmore's hat stash? When asked about Ritchie Blackmore, Lemmy once commented 'Great guitarist, tragic taste in hats!'

I have a MIA jazz and a MIJ jazz. I prefer the MIJ, better tone, build and overall quality. I’m looking for another MIJ jazz and sell the MIA jazz.

5:20 Lee is such a MONSTER

P should have been In white

2:25 That's what she said

Free hats with the purchase of a bass???

💙👊😎💙👊😎

Thost thing are huge

I'm the first brotha!

Супер ! І навіщо ті противнючі соло гітари !..🙂

Fender takes a millimeter off the neck and calls it a new profile.

Another example of Fender putting a different name on the same old product. Next year it'll be the new "Vodern" series. 2024 will see the new "Oldie-But-Modern-Too" series, followed by the "Vodern II" series.

what is her youtube?

Why does this look like "The Hobbit"?

Will someone please Photoshop the name Chelsea on Lee's arm in old English lettering? For laughs...those who get it will have a great laugh with that one. My guess is Pete will be the first to have the "oh that's really f***ed up" moment.

Black and Maple!!!

As a bass player for nearly 40yrs. Guys. Just don't be taken in by this fender japan.mexico .player. I have a number of fender jazz bass special 1986.. American pro 1 jazz.bass And a player series p bass all awesome basses in their own rights. But. Tone is in you not the bass ! Sick of fenders new basses coming out and really be honest is their really a difference in USA,Mexican ,Japan I think not much. But when ya young your so eager to get the latest love the bass you have 👍

Why is there no Nathan aka "sour lemon"....where is he? you kicked Natan! shame...

These just sound like farts.
