- In this video i will be comparing my $5800 Fbass against my $800 Fender Jazz bass to see if its worth it!
Ive always been partial to my fbass and I wanted to take this chance to see if my jazz bass stands up to it. Im going to let you decide! Fbass or Jbass?

Not to kill the vibe but to me the jazz sounded more define in the mix and the tone is straight up funky. Great playing!
I love the fender as well!
The Fender easily wins this challenge ! But in fairness with each bass there are different woods, and also I believe the jazz bass has single coils, and I believe the F bass may have humbuckers. But forget all of that, personally the Fender Jazz just sounds better, it’s about the cost or who has better woods
Fbass has stacked single coils. I think the biggest difference here is going from maple fretboard to ebony. If I could reorder my fbass, I would go maple.
Out of all the videos you have on your channel, this one is my favorite. 🤘🏻
It's got to be the ebony chilling things out. My maple board Fbass sounds like your jazz. Mine is anything but polite but in a good way. I wouldn't mind having an ebony fb version. Yours sounds great!
I hate to say that I wish I would have gone with the maple fretboard. You can tame the bite, but it’s hard to add it
@Tyler Ray Hughes good excuse to get another one, lol!
I've always thought of ebony fb as the part of a violin that makes it smooth sounding. Rosewood would've been my choice, but I got mine already made. No regrets on the maple though.
I had a BN5 ages ago, and continue owning all sorts of Jazz basses. True that the latter has more inherent growl and brightness, while the BN5’s are ‘polite’. The main thing one pays for is the feel of the instrument. Also check out the huge volute on the F, that neck ain’t breaking easy.
I love them both. But not equally, ha!
5k8 just sounded so boring in this context. Jazz bass FTW
Love that growl!
Love the jam sesh. Great videos keep ‘em coming
The jazz sounded so good, even better than the f bass to me, but I’m sure that f bass felt way better
Fbass will always win the feel. I love that growl on the jazz bass for sure
Both basses sound nice. I'd choose the Fender for live gigs to cut through the mix better, and the Fbass for studio work or to enjoy playing alone.
I find myself playing the fender more and more. Back to the roots!
@@tylerrayhughesGlad to hear that the Fender has earned more attention! :) Have you tried Warmoth? I highly recommend their Jazz and Precision parts, especially their rock-solid necks...the heavier and the older the better. My main gigging passive Warmoth parts Jazz/Precision hybrid bass is absolutely incredible and it cost me less than a standard USA Fender. It has a one-piece alder jazz body with Fender "originals" pickups, a precision neck consisting of a goncalo alves neck shaft with steel reinforcement rods flanking the truss rod, and a thick Macassar ebony fretboard with block inlays. Incredibly solid, it never moves even in humid weather, and there isn't a dead spot anywhere on it. :)
@@marcoanello891 sounds like an awesome bass! I have used a Warmoth in the past and really enjoyed it. It wasn’t mine however and I never got one for myself. We actually ended up taking the frets out of it lol. 😂
I feel you completely. I am 5 string player myself. I play Xotics (P5/PJ5). I also own '73 original P with Thomastik flats on it. That P sounds best of them. But I still incline to Xotic because its more ergonomic and in live setting allows greater control and consistency. But I am sorry to disappoint, that cheapo JB sounded just better for this particular exercise (again, I fully understand why you prefer your F bass; I am sure I would too :-) ).
I know! I need to make another video and bang up the j bass! Thanks for checking it out.
@@tylerrayhughes Subscribed. Keep it up. Great channel - somehow very honest which I like.
They both sounded really good. The F Bass had a more round/warmer sound to me where as the Fender Jazz was more bright with some more growl. Both sat well in the mix, just two very distinctly different animals.
Yes! I actually prefer my fbass for recording gigs, but my fender on the beach cuts great through that old analog system!
While note looking at the screen to not feed off of visuals, the Fender sounds clearer. Punchier.
Fender tone is so iconic that it almost feels like an unfair comparison, no matter which bass you're comparing it to. I absolutely love the tone of my Fender bass, but I also love my Ken Smith basses and my Alembic. The Fender sound is so nice and gritty that it is almost beyond compare.
100% agree, this will be one of the videos i probably remove when i get monetized lol. Just doesn't make sense to compare. I love using my fbass for recordings for independent artists. i love taking my fender to funk gigs. Many ways to make a coffee.
Love the video! I think the fretboard makes a really huge different 😮
Yes, i think i prefer the maple feel and sound. Want to get an fbass with a maple fretboard soon!
Lyndsey be burnin'
I didn’t think it was even that close…F bass by a mile. The fender sounds great but not as full, deep or detailed as the F
Both sound great, for different reasons! My personal choice would be the F Bass, a little more round and warm, and it sat better in the mix imo. Maybe I’m partial because I have a F Bass 😂
Lindsay giving off mad Cory Wong vibes during the comparison 🤘
Cory Wong is da man.
Fender jazz for the win however F Bass make superb instruments, would own one in a instant the jazz meh not so much
I love my fbass. Feels so good.
Does the f bass have singles or humbuckers?
They are stacked single coils.
The F Bass has more oomph.
I like Them both but i like the jazz Bass mord
Jazz bass has a nice growl to it!
Jazz is a bit brighter
Yes and some incredible growl to it.
😃
