Thanks everyone! ^_^ I'm decently happy, I haven't got anything yet... I'll probably just get cash, but I'm ok with that.

They are. Basically, Fender calculate your familie's income, and according to that they will only sell you a certain bass. So if you're rich, you're sold a USA jazz bass, if you're poor, a MIM. But they're all the same...

:confused:






:lol:


EDIT: Its just quality really. and MIM (Made in Mexico) is another word for Standard :thumb:

American Jazz Basses have more options, like maple fretboards, etc.

Mexicans are lower quality instruments (but they're still great). American are basically the top-notch Fender guitar, and it depends what you mean by standard; American Standard, or Mexican Standard. Standard is just the bass, and the basics of it, no ifs ands or buts. Passive pickups, 2 tones for the Jazz, and standard model specs.

And of course, American basses cost more.

Yes, that's a Mexican Jazz Bass. Americans have optional colors, different woods for necks, choice of active or passive pickups, etc. Basically, if you just want a Fender Jazz, straight up Jazz Bass for a good price, go Mexican. You get all you need, nothing more, nothing less, and a good instrument for a lot cheaper than an American. I hope this helps.

MIM:
Cheap bridge
Cheaper wood
Cheaper Capacitors
Cheaper tuners
Cheaper pickups

MIJ:
Better bridge
Better wood
Better Capacitors
Better Tuners
American pickups

MIA:

Best bridge (top-loard or string-thru)
Option of having ash or alder
Option of choosing rosewood or maple for fretboard
American Pickups
S-1 switching
Graphite reinforcement on the neck
Double-truss rod (Maybe be wrong in this one)
Better capacitors and tuners?

The S-1 switch; changes the pickups from series to parallel.
