mycdplayerisbroke Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 im looking at this pretty swell bass but the only thing im not sure about (other than its on ebay) is that it's made in mexico... do mexicans make instruments different or whatever? check it out: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=64400&item=3727730581&rd=1 tell me what you think if you'd like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinned Alive Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 With Mexican Fenders, the parts and electronics are cheaper than American ones, and they're more cheaply manufactured. I don't know the precise details, but it's just to do with the overall manufacturing quality, like binding, finish, electronics, setup etc. My bassist uses a Mexican Jazz Bass and it sounds amazing and plays brilliantly. It's not quite as good as a USA one, but the Mexican ones still sound awesome and aren't all that much worse than the US ones. At the price it's currently going for, it's an absolute bargain (they usually retail at around £500, which is about $850 I think). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who in their right mind would pay $850 for a Mexican made Fender?! :o I got my American made Tele for just over $500... That said, I actually happen to own a Mexican Fender Jazz bass as well, and I paid about $250 for it... so $200 is a pretty good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A brand new US Tele over here costs about £750, which is over $1000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
