Fender active jazz (Mexican)

[Funkwave]

Does anyone have the Fender active jazz Mex version. I had one shipped and the action sucks. got it set up by a pro and the action still sucks. Anyone else have this problem??

Setting up a Fender isn't rocket science. Try communicating with your tech until you are happy with the setup. If there is something wrong with the actual bass, your tech should be able to spot it (i.e. incorrectly cut nut).

I have one that I had set up, and it played very poorly, but after a second setup, it has turned out to be a great player. Nice low action with no buzzing.

Yes I have that bass, and I didn't realize how bad the action sucked until I got my hands on a bass that had an action that I really liked. Then I read up on how to set the string height and intonation. I went to work on it and it plays great. Every bass player needs to learn how to do this, IMHO , because when you change strings it can make a real difference in the action of your bass and the intonation, so you may need to tweek it in. Also, over time you taste in action set up may change and you can dial it in more exactly how you like it.

i dont have the bass but you should learn to set up the bass yourself. This site Was very helpful for me (and many others) in learning to set up my bass and now i never need to bring my bass to anyone, when it needs a set up i can do it myself.

 

Hope that helps
