听说是台湾在广州建立的一家工厂生产的OEM产品，和芬达太一样了，而且图片看很不错，价格也相当便宜。不知道国内有卖的么？？

blackadder

有，http://www.smusics.com/这是中国代理，rondo的sx并非都是国内做的，brice笔sx档次要高。sx的sjb 75还有限量版我都很喜欢。我就喜欢便宜货，^_^。www.teamintlco.com去看看吧

dinna

谢谢楼上! 我也喜欢便宜货，所以对sx很有兴趣，而且talkbass对他的评价很不错，很多fender用家拿他来做backup!

blackadder

台湾有个乐手对他的sx做了一些修改，然后在川岛魔术袋的专辑录制里用了这把sx。我本来也想买sx然后自己改的，不过我想买的型号我这里不是没的卖就是太贵，失去兴趣了。我只对他们的限量版的琴有兴趣

dinna

其实，你可以上rondo去买，现在好像又降价了，即使是走国际进口关税，也不是很贵的。而且他们收现金。

高手们评价一下啊，这琴怎么样

像Fender没用啊，要看疗效！

以下来自tb中关于Fender MIM jazz和SX jazz的对比讨论，当然也包括价格方面的考虑。On one hand the Essex costs $90 and the Fender costs upwards of $300 or something. On the other, I was playing my friend's MIM P on stage tonight, and it was pretty sweet, feel-wise. I felt the tone was a little too 'boxy' for my taste, but I'm sure with different p-ups, I could get a better sound.On one hand the Essex costs $90 and the Fender costs upwards of $300 or something.

I'm interested in owning a P-bass, and the Essex is way cheapter than the Fender, I was just wondering if there was a huge tone/quality difference.
-----------------------------------
Tell you what Dave, I have a MIM P bass. I dropped in a Basslines Quarterpounder and put a Badass ll bridge on it, then with USA pots and Hipshot tuners, I got myself a quality bass guitar.................even if it did end up costing a fortune in upgrades  

I guess you get what you pay for.---------------------------------This would be a daunting task-but you might want to check out the Essex Megathread for info on those. I played one of their Jazz Basses [was i think a $160 one] and that was enough for me to order 2 of their 5s.

The only thing that scares me a bit on any of the SXs are the necks. Everything else is easily swapped out-i'm not sure if a warmoth neck would fit on the SX body.

Do you plan on modding out the MIM? If so that's when i would start to lean towards the SX. Example: You get an alder bodied finished bass, with hardware. So you could easily drop in new p/us, if you wanted new bridge, and a few other things.

$399.99-434.69+s&h is the price i pulled from MF for a stock MIM P-Bass. $89.99 + s&h [about $15 IIRC] on the SX. Assuming you put the same parts on each-obviously, it'd be cheaper to mod out the essex. However, the overall quality level is where the real difference would be yet IMO, that's where it would really depend on personal preference on things such as the neck.

Here's something i just priced out [mainly for the fun of it].

Essex P-Bass $89.99
Nordstrand P pu $109
BA II Bridge: $60 [chrome]
Hipshot American Classic Tuners: $75
[FWIW-prices where from BestBassGear.com]
Total [plus shipping] on all of that? $363.99

Ok so let's say $40 in shipping.
$403.99 and the only thing stock on it would be the neck/pickguard and pots.

So you don't like the neck? I'm assuming that the warmoth necks fit. $167 +s&h on an unfinished maple w/rosewood neck. $570.99 for all of that. Now-i'd hope you like the neck enough to keep it stock.

After all of those mods-you would be up to the price of the MIM w/just the pickup mod. I realize my example was overkill, but hey-it was a train of thought.

FWIW-i own a 97 MIM Jazz Bass, the thing has never let me down. Tomorrow-i will receive 2 SX Jazz Basses, and will more than likely do a side by side comparison.

That's all__________________
I like MiM p-basses, I like them way more than the jazz basses.

My girlfriend had easily one of the most comfortable, easy to play, huge sounding P-basses I've ever tried. And it was a mex, I dropped in a set of SD hotstacks and bang, that bass was rippin.

I just got my first SX jazz bass, it rules. I kills my MiM jazz.
I have yet to try their P-basses, but for the price, I'm going to fairly soon. Even if it sucks, it would only cost 150 tops, and I could easily sell it off for a little over half that, so not much loss their.
They are a good project bass, you can't feel bad about ripping one apart and making a frankenstein out of it.

原来是这么回事，我一句也没看明白

乐器关键要看声音怎么样而且外表准确的说是象SQ

奥迪：那总的意思是就SX的价格来讲已经很不错了。九哥：外表真的象SQ,谢谢提醒！
