I've tried both. The Flea is much better and has a real Rosewood fretboard. Just needs a good setup as out of the box they are hit and miss. But get the setup done properly and it is an absolute killer jazz bass.

I wish I knew about the reverse tuners before I called the dealer up and reamed them out for sending me a "backwards, left-handed tuner, or some such nonsense" piece of crap. In my defense, the guy I reamed out didn't know about them either, and said I probably need to re-string it the other way. So we were both idiots ignorant to the facts. After i researched the reverse tuners, I fell in love with this bass. It is simply awesome.

I hate the pearl white guard on the USA Geddy Lee (hate hate hate pearl white guards, tacky and ugly as hell), pearl block inlays (yuck) and the overall anemic pale maple color. Oh and the bridge, don't care for those high mass bridges at all (also, ugly). If the Flea jazz is setup to perfection, there's nothing realistically to "out perform" it. It sounds great, looks great and feels great (with the right setup). I'd take it any day over the Geddy Lee USA model.

mouthmw atleast the 2 flea basses I played would fret out when you got up past the 16th fret. Plus it is pretty stupid though how they don't even give you a case when you buy it.
@mouthmw

True, some fret work filing wouldn't hurt. What also didn't help with the fret sprout is the fact that the fingerboard is dry as hell. I'm planning on getting one tomorrow, and it's currently being setup by a tech I trust. That is, IF the setup goes well and there are no truss rod/neck issues. Too bad about the hard case sure, but all Road Worn series basses come in a gig bag.

For starters, the American basses have graphite reinforcement bars in the neck, and have much better hardware and wiring. For $900 I can buy a used USA Jazz and update the wiring to '60-'61 specs.

Brock Landers I think you’ll find this bass has American pick ups and wiring in it. I’ve owned all levels of bass and I’ve got one of these, it’s a great instrument. Drop the US made snobbery, I have a 1978 US Precision and it’s no better than my flea bass. Then again, it’s the player not the bass that makes a bass sound great.

Why do people make such stupid comments? It’s Mexican, so what, it has vintage American pups in it ffs. I’ve owned and extensively played a 1978 USA Precision, a 90s Japanese Precision, a 90s Japanese Geddy Lee Jazz, a 2000s Mexican Precision, a cheap Chinese made Squier PJ and this Flea bass, and in all honestly they all are largely the same, it’s the player not the instrument that counts, this Flea bass is great to play and has real vintage tone, don’t avoid buying one just because some schmuck says “oh, it’s Mexican”.
