Timeless classic ... mostly.
1 of 2 found this helpful I bought this bass after semi-retiring a vintage Rick. For rock, the Fender Jazz has the great hi-fi sound that many performers are using. P-basses have a bit more of a 'tubby' tone ... very old-school feel, with a neck that is very accomodating for slap style players as well as finger style. Jazz basses have a clearer more modern sound, along with a much narrower neck for fingerstyle and picking. You can slap on this bass, but it's much easier on a P.
All in all, the Fender American Standard Jazz Bass will suit the needs of 90% of bass players with it's classic styling and solid tone. Maybe not best suited for shredders and metal players. Mine came with the S1 switching which allows for both a J tone or a P tone. Incredibly durable with an impeccable finish. My only complaints are some assembly weirdness like putting the back plate upside down and winding the strings downward, instead of upward to create downward string pressure on the nut. I had a buzzy string for a while, and thought it was a bad nut, when it turned out it was strung improperly.
I'd rate this bass a 9.5 out of 10. Sweet tone, plays great, looks fantastic.

One of the best I've owned.
3 of 3 found this helpful As an American made instrument, the Music Man StingRay 5 is a fantastic "player's instrument".
My StingRay 5 has always answered the bell. The neck is generally resistant to climate change (unlike my experience with Fender USA Jazz basses). The pickup selector has a wider range of tonal possibilities, beyond most other basses in it's price range. The StingRay 5's string spacing is a little narrower than their 4 string model - the slappers standard, but is still a good slap style instrument.
When you consider playability, durability, tone quality, and the wide selection of colors and styles, the Ernie Ball StingRay 5 is one of the best 5 string instruments under $1500, right along side G&L and Fender. To get a superior instrument, you'll need to spend twice as much. It's gotta feel good in your hands, but once you clear that hurdle you'll have a bass for life.

Maybe a Style-verb?
This pedal is great for creating your signature style! This is not a super fancy delay that can run reverse or create loops. This is a warm, smooth delay that will give you YOUR OWN deluxe sound. Great for retro genres!!! Would recommend it to any rockabilly or country player. Rock players will love it too! Lots of tone for the $$$!
