I definitely prefer an active setup. As a praise and worship musician who plays DI, it's nice to have extra volume and equalizer control over my playing, without needing a pedal board or any other extras.
Exactly….
I think this is true for a lot of players - it's a useful live tool but not in the studio. The only time I'd really use the active eq would be to balance the sound e.g. dial in a bit of bass when soloing the bridge pickup. Maybe quick bump treble and bass and scoop the middle for slap, but yeah - a live thing deffo.
I love active 5-string basses. Actives have more of an equalizer; passives just cut treble. Much of the music I play goes below E, and the 5th string also allows you to play at or above the 5th fret without needing to move your hand on the neck to hit a low E through G sharp. Also sometimes when I want to hit extra hard, I'll pop the E open and the 5th fret on the B together.
Those Jazz pick ups just hit different. Humbuckers have power and sustain but those J's are just so clean and smooth. Unmistakable sound and feel. Thank you for this video!
Man everybody has a boutique jazz bass but u cant go wrong with Fender 💯
When you play as well as yourself, A DaisyRock bass would be singing for ya!!!
I feel like many of us had that old Mexican Fender back in the day! Mine was red too! Lol. Just hearing u noodle around while testing the tones, makes me wanna practice immediately! Active is best for me!
I still have mine
Love my ole MIM jazz deluxe
JM people in the office are wondering why I put my hand over my mouth with my earphone in my computer. When you hit that FUNK SLAP LICK I about lost it ! LOL
😂🤣
Thank you for this! Active all the way!
One if not the BEST Bass Video i've seen for a long time !! Great !
I found out about Sweetwater due to this post. They treated me really well. I gave props to you when they asked me how did I find out about them because I was a first time buyer.
🙏🏽🙏🏽
This video makes it all clear for me that with 5 string bass you just need active pickups. They sound so hip and modern. It's like if you like to have light touch and to be able to express a whole lot of little details you just need those. Super nice sounding bass. And your playing and demonstrating is just out of this world! You got it.
I bought this same bass two months ago in the Olympic white. I absolutely love it! I usually love passive sound but playing through a very similar set up as yours I prefer the active.
I actually have this kind of Bass Guitar which I bought from Guitar Center when I was in 5th Grade. I had no issues carrying it from the Music Store to my Home cause it's surprisingly lightweight compared to a 5 String Upright Bass in the same tuning.
Both active and passive sounds great great bass for recording and live services I recommend it for any style of music
I like both , the passive and active, they both have there place. playing behind a vocalist the passive come in nice when the talking starts and when the band break it down
I was on the fence about getting one you convinced me Great video!!!!
This fender sounds great. Awesome finger Tone And slap.
Love it. Big up JermAine from the grooves and motivation family
Great sounding bass Jermaine. I have an all original 1998 John Suhr era active Fender Jazz bass that sounds incredible. This is one bass that would definitely make you change your mind about Fender basses as it really does sound that good. The Suhr pickups and preamp that are in it don't color the bass allowing you to hear the raw, organic tone of it. I have other basses, and I play them all, but this one is something special.
wow what a demo ! thanks hello from France
I like fenders. And I got my Yamaha tbrx 303A from Sweetwater two years ago.
Laying down the grooves🔥Love the fender Jazz can’t wait to get the active version 💯
I definitely love the active setting! Sounds great!
That Pow!-Ferrell fretboard is GREAT! 👌🏻
Pao ferro
My newest bass and I love it. The color works
Thanks for letting us hear the low B string. I see to many 5 string demos without touching the low B.
Sounds great as does every bass you play! I stayed away from a Jazz bass for many years until I got my Sire Marcus Miller V7 5 about 4 years ago. I prefer the sound of the active preamp engaged but I do enjoy the passive sound.
This is a keeper. My first was a P bass '70s,punch for days!. The 18v does bring it out. I would be curious to hear the passive side with a tube simulation, etc.
I have one with a maple fret board. I didn`t really care for the passive tone. I installed a Tone Monster, it works very well with the noiseless pickups. Bottom is room shaking, has more control over mids. and highs will scalp you. I have MTD`s but now this is just fun to play.
Excellent video. Very informative and delicious chops. My word. 😋 Thank you so much! 👍🏼
Awesome Fender Jazz Bass review, thanks for sharing
I love the old fender bass Mable neck and Mable body
Killin! That’s smackin harder than the Ultra
That Fender Sounds Great!!
Wow, fantastic playing....thx, good demo👍
I really like that extra stuff.
Great Demo bro!! That Fender sounds great in your hands. It's all about the touch and feel and that sounds like a winner to me. I'm planning on getting one myself and that specific fret board got my attention for sure. Thanks.
The active pre amp, it has a powerful punch!
Great video! I was looking at this exact bass, and it was hard to find any reviews specifically on this one, but then your channel was suggested by Google! Sounds fantastic and your playing is just dope👍 I'm sold! You got a new subscriber too!😎
I used to have one of those old Deluxe Active Jazz V. It was okay, but the neck wasn't that comfortable. In fact, the humble Squier Affinity Jazz V has a much nicer neck. I actually play guitar, but will be getting a new Fender (or even Squier) Jazz V in the near future. Love the finish on that bass BTW.
nice review, I have a 2011 model, love it, the jumbo frets can make your fingers sore, I'm gonna have to get used to this fretboard
i have this same bass with the 3 color sunburst maple Fret board. i only use the passive mode on gigs and active mode in church. just got my mid boost cut fixed absolute game changer with the custom made pickups.
I've got the 4 string one of these. Put Seymour Duncan SBJ3 pickups in it. Love it
Excellent sound man,
I play on several gigs (with different basses) and using active preamp. except for recording...
S.V
What an intro lick! Subbed
Thank you Jermaine for the review and response on insta. God Bless
I'm definitely leaning more towards the "Active" side after hearing the difference. Active has more of that punch!
I loved your pos and cons about this bass! That's pretty much what I felt when I switched from an ibanez 5 string to a 4 strings fender Jazz bass with pre-amp, loved both features but as you said I'm more like a meat potatoes guy lol and I prefer passive mode of the instrument. Please I would like to ask you if you could make another review but using a 4 strings fender jazz bass 😁 I'm kinda curious to hear different opinions about this bass. Thank you for making this video I loved hearing your thoughts on that! Congrats on your TH-cam content btw they're awesome!! Take care! God bless 🙏🏾
I am more definitely on the the active side but the passive sounds really nice too.
That thang sounds great!!!
I definitely prefer the active sound. It has a lot more in-depth punch to it. Thanks for the demo guy! I have been on the fence looking for another bass to add to my small collection of basses. I have been playing a Bass Mod for the last 5 years and just wanted to have a little different sound right now. The width of the neck will not bother me at all (I’m an aggressive player) even playing in the upper notes area, although I will be quite limited with the shorter scale of 21 frets. In any case, because you really demonstrated the bass’ capability with your skill level, it convinced me to go ahead and grab one- (Same color too)! Lol! Thanks again man.
Passive is ok...but Active is truly the best way to go coming out of a Fender in my opinion !! I have a Fender Marcus Miller that i had a John East pre-amp installed making a major sound difference.
Did you find that changing it from a 2band to a 3band made a huge difference for better or worse?
@@davidnaranjo6919 absolutely better !! More tonal range options !!
I should also mention that I installed Bartolini B-Axis pickups as well.
I`m lucky enough to have a Jazz Elite and a P ultra, both are awesome active.
Suhr preamps are the best. Sounding Jazz Deluxe
Alembic preamps are undisputed
Active all day bro!!!
I honestly love the 'making you work' part about fender basses, whenever I pickup something else than my classic P bass it just runs 'too' smooth if that makes sense, and as a student it feels great to study technique on a limited bass in that sense. thank you for this review. very informative on my search to my first 5 string, seriously considering this one!
That bass spanks! I have the Ultra 5...🔥🔥🔥
👊🏾😎
Just bought a passive one today for $250!!!!! Just in time for some studio sessions next month!
Underrated bass.great review
Wow Jermaine, sounds nice and crisp. I've always loved Fender Bass sound, but I never owned one coz I don't like "the look" 😔😁
But Fender sound is 👌🏿🔥 I try and extract that Fender tone from whatever Bass I get, usually Status Graphite S2 Classic Basses.
I DEFINITELY like to have the Passive/Active Switch on my Bass.
Brother Jermaine, with your music skills, you could put a pre-amp in a ukulele and the shout would be on! 😊. I’m an old Hammond B-3 organist who grew-up down South in a Pentecostal church...need I say more? We didn’t have a bass most of the time, so my organ foot pedals filled-in. But when we did, and when the active basses came on the scene, we couldn’t stop. After 30+ years, I’m learning bass. For me, it depends upon the genre of music and the other instruments-I would like to hear you playing an actual song using active and passive. But. I would rather have active available and not need it than to need it and not have on the preferred bass for a project. Sorry for the length...I usually don’t comment. Thank you Brother for all you do in God’s Kingdom and for your contributions to music. Be well.
Jermaine you are really playing that Fender.
I prefer the passive but I do use an MXR preamp if I need a little unmph to cut through when playing a jazz bass.
Good sounding bass.
nothing wrong with being a Fender GUY, there are so many non-fender guys that play expensive high thousand dollar basses, and they all have Fender in their gear rack. I removed the stock noiseless from my jazz Ultra because they sound dull and muddy, and I installed AGUILAR , night and day difference! It’s sound so amazing, from clean, to metal to praise to Funk , for the money Fender are the kings, I can only imagine you playing mine! Your skill would bring it to life! 😂
My preference is for the depth of the active sound but that's just my style of playing, of course.
As a guitarist that s learning bass Bro your channel is one of my favs outstanding playing and review of the ole standby uprgraded!🔥
I prefer passive, all along for any bass. It's about tone and dynamics.
That's cool. As weird as it sounds, I prefer Squier over Fender. My Squier Vintage Modified Jaguar bass is one of my favourite instruments.
It sounds really nice... The passive sounding nice tho, I don’t know man I like the active as well! Overall great sounding bass! Fender isn’t my cup of tea, but this sounds really nice.
I like 24-fret more slender necks basses too, and have a few, but I'm not going to say what they are as this is a Fender test. I had another bass I love the sound and versatility of, but the neck was thick and wide, and started hurting my fingers. It had 24 frets and an active Bartolini II 3-way setup. I loved it, but my fingers can't take it any more.
Great playing and really a good sounding instrument! Thinking of purchasing myself, but I'm more of a four-string guy. By the way: A great video, hat lots of joy watching it.
Have to ask you this did go 5string. Me I tried 5string and went back home sweet home 4string. 4string for life for me. I tried,I gig alot and really did not have the time to put heart in it.
Thank you so much for your honesty sir! I have one question.. I am 51yrs young and decided to take up bass. Having said that, I would like to know if this would make a great “first bass”? I’ve researched it for many weeks and I don’t want to get something that I’ll grow out of in a matter of months. My music tastes range from R&B, jazz and rock. My favorite group of all time is Earth, Wind and Fire. Thank you for all you do!
This one for sure is a keeper. If you decided to get it, it would grow with you at any level
@@JermaineMorganBass thank you so much sir! I’ll keep you posted.
Get the fender American ultra jazz bass v 5 string
Unless you're tuned down to an "A", you're not getting very much out of a five. I would tune a six from, E to C. There are some nice options.
The reason everyone is saying that Active sounds better is because Active has more Volume than Passive so its not really fair. Volume plays a huge role in tone and how you perceive it
I agree
False. Active has a pre amp with EQING options not possible on a passive bass.
Fender string spacing was a deal breaker for me. I bought G&L M2500, Yamaha BB was also an option. I’ve never had a passive bass, but I think I might like it. I don’t like compressor on a bass at all. I wanna feel the sound and I feel compression kills the sounds characteristics.
I like the active sound much better. I was blessed with a five string and it’s passive. I could tell the difference immediately. I’m going to keep it but eventually I am going to get a 5 string active bass guitar.
now yes!
Great review! Thanks! Could you please do a review about the „Markbass Kimandu 5“? Would be very kind:-)
God bless you!
Active sir!
I had this same bass but sold it. Installed Bart pups and an Aggy pre.
I should’ve held on to it 🤦🏾♂️
Hey Jermaine I love your work. Do you have multi track for your gospel pack? That would be so helpful.
Unfortunately no Multitracks
I had this bass I miss it 😢
if you swap the preamp with Audere JZ3D preamps and Aguilar Split Coil Humcancelling Jazz Bass Pickups it s going to be a killer bass trust me
Yeah, no. It already is
@@TheOwlHead I had a deluxe fender bass and I did that swap and it's night and day
@@impulseproman even more reason I wouldn’t do it.
Would love for you to try a stingray
JM what exactly are you doing on that harmonic slide when you played the slap lick??
I prefer my basses active and my guitars passive. Although it sounds like you could make any bass sound good... did you compare it to the USA built ones?
No description on signal chain and how you record the bass. Need to do that bro .
You can make a hondo crap bass sound good thru processing.
I love the passive sound ... but equal volume.. I also bought a similar J5 in the 90’s but struggled with the very loose B string ..... Has the B string been sorted?
I went through a range of basses ... I do own a passive J4 and Passive P4..
My main 5 String is non other than a NYBW Cremona 5 (the first one made 👌🏾☺️). For me it’s the ultimate 5
the active is louder than the passive.
"definition" eh
what happens when (and it will and does happen)
when the battery dies while youre performing
and your levels get out of wack when you switch back to passive
ive always preferred passive basses for this reason
i can make definition with my hands. i dont need a circuit for that.
Je préfère Bass active, j’ai une Fender jazz HH, une pure merveille 🤗
Ayyyy ain't this the bass that sharay reed used in the joy to the world video??😂😂 you know I ALWAYS thought that it was sharay's signature bass🤔
Not sure
@@JermaineMorganBass I checked... it's the same one but red.
That’s the same bass I got I want to change my pick ups and but Bartlion in my bass
Why? Why people always buying Amazon instruments and change them?
like the sound when i see friends or others bass players playing a Fender, but don't like the look and how it feel a and how it sound when I play a Fender, I preferred more Ibanez, Ernie Ball or Yamaha basses
A great instrument test👍 But..Isn’t the difference between passiv and active basically a question about volume? Like difference in output from the instrument? If you compensate with volume from the amp would you get the same color of sound?
To me the active sounds a little more juicy,and the passive a little «dull» A shame really as Im waiting for an mexican V standard from 2000 to arrive at my house next week😉....but it will sound great anyway😍
Your playing is just awesome btw!
Depends on the pickups really. I can't hear the difference on my bass with an EMG preamp, it just activates the EQ but then the pickups are very powerful, very hifi. I'd love to try a bass that has actual active pickups, like one of those EMG setups, rather than most systems which are passive pickups with an active eq
I’m seeing this 5 months late.
It sounds like a huge gain boost comparing Active to Passive. Is there a Gain trim pot on the preamp module?
You have quite a set of bass fingers!
Hey, you should try making a ccm bass cover every week on popular or trending ccm songs. It would probably make your channel boom! Idk why I wrote... Yahuah bless! :)
Got this bass in 4 string, its a great bass but the pickups are garbage. Noiseless my a** 🤣
Set aside a couple hundred bucks to replace the pickups if you buy this bass, just my two cents.
Nice video Jermaine!!
I love the pickups in the five string. Wouldn’t change them for anything.
Active
Lovely tone, what strings u using?
I use SIT strings
