    Nice basses. I like the one with the rosewood fretboard too, maybe due to the pickup spacing. Oh, by the way, perhaps grab a volume pedal so you don't get that noise when changing basses. I recently bought an Xotic XVP 250k, the gold one. Works a treat :-)

    I've owned a Fender Deluxe Jazz and an AVG 75 reissue and they could be set up with a very low action. Both were bought used and may have been setup by techs before I bought them. But I bought a Fender Precision Elite new online, in 2018 and the action has never been great, however much I try to tweak it. It also developed a fault with the jack socket, which is a cheap plastic thing and almost impossible to source a replacement for. I won't be buying a new Fender again, unless I get the chance to play it first.

    • @BassJapanDirect
      @BassJapanDirect 2 дні тому

      I think you were asking about radiuses in another comment? From my experience, which admittedly is limited, and to MIJ stuff mostly, a compound radius on the fretboard could lead to issues with low or medium-low actions. I think it would be fine with standard 2mm action though. Most makers over here do not compound the fretboard, but do make a compound grip (ie U-D or C-D types). I think Fender USA builds tend to need some proper set-up these days, from what I hear. Having said that I have a great lefty American Pro in stock here, and that is very well made with no issues. Seems it can be hit or miss with Fender USA! The Fender Japan are all great set-up wise, I rarely have to do anything before shipments, always intoned and properly set at the bridge right from the factory.

    I've owned 40 basses and I can affirm that Greco's from the late 70's early 80's are fantastic basses. My Greco 76 Jazz Bass has a 3 piece neck, something that Fender never did. I also own a P Bass from Tokai, late 70's. Also, incredible finishing. When you open the pick guard and you see how the wood was cut, it's perfection. I also owned many Fenders. I can tell you, there's no need to worship the F brand. Nice video, thanks for sharing.
