I bought this bass when it went on sale at L&M and am EXTREMELY happy with it. It is a fast and smooth playing bass with reallly comfortable modern c shaped jazz neck with active controls providing a diverse tonal palette. It has clear highs and good growly lows. I absolutely love the look of the bass with its warm natural okoume (mahogany) body that has a really excellent warm tone and is a bit heavier which helps prevent neck dive. The tuners needed to be greased, and worked great after that. However, because I love the old 1960's style tuners, and wanted to lighten the headstock even more, I installed Gotoh ResoLite tuners. Definitely an upgrade I recommend. That said, there is nothing else to upgrade on this bass. It doesn't need anything else. Even the stock strings are amazing. They're comfortable and have great tone. Incidentally this model bass was inspired by Jeff Berlin's favourite bass, a Frankensteined old Fender. I recommend this bass highly. It's become my go-to bass and as a result I'm selling all my other basses. My only complaint is that it's a 20 fret bass. Twenty-one frets would provide the player with a high E, but that's really a small complaint, and having the fretboard professionally extended by one fret isn't really worth it. The only other bass I've played that compares to this is the Fender Professional Series Jass Bass that sells for twice what the Okoume does. This bass gets my highest recommendation.

Was looking for a secondary bass (to back up my Road Worn P.) and this little guy and its killer price caught my eye. The staff in Cobourg was fantastic and you'd be hard-pressed to find a better deal than this. The stock photo doesn't really do justice to the depth of the colour present in the body, and the active pickups in combination with stacked controls really make this a versatile, fun, and easy-to-work-with bass. I presently use it tuned down a half step for gigs and the typically slim Jazz neck (in combination with the bridge pickup blend) is great for tunes like Ramble On that require a little more dexterity and presence in the mix. This bass is a great buy turned into a steal when you factor in the discount. Go for it.

Have not played bass for many years and decided to start playing again. After looking at different and affordable basses I bought the Fender bass during Fender month at L&M. Great price, great bass. Active controls give a wide range of sound from a deep bass to a funky bass. Amazingly light for a Fender bass. I have short fingers so used a short scale bass in the past, the neck is so playable I don't notice the longer scale at all. Nicely set up when I purchased it put as usual I will adjust it to my liking.

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
