Description
Some basses you play, others you settle into like a favorite groove pocket – the American Professional Jazz Bass is the latter. Fender took the DNA that made the original 1960 J-Bass a go-to for funk, disco, fusion, and rock players, then updated it with modern hardware and pickup tech that actually holds tuning and tone under real gig conditions.
- Alder body finished in gloss polyurethane Candy Apple Red – classic look, road-tested finish
- Maple neck with a Slim “C” profile and satin urethane back finish, so your fretting hand doesn’t work overtime during long sets
- Rosewood fingerboard, 9.5″ radius, narrow-tall frets for clean intonation up and down the 20-fret board
- Posiflex graphite support rods keep the neck stable and resistant to warping, gig after gig, climate after climate
- V-Mod single-coil Jazz Bass pickups (bridge and middle), designed by Michael Bump with a considered alnico blend for that authentic, balanced Jazz Bass growl
- 4-saddle HiMass Vintage bridge, wired for string-through-body or topload stringing
- Redesigned tuning machines with fluted, tapered shafts for a better break angle over the nut and tighter string wraps – meaning better sustain and tuning stability on stage
- 3-ply parchment pickguard and vintage-style black control knobs for that unmistakable J-Bass silhouette
- Two volume controls (middle and bridge pickups) plus a master tone, giving you quick access to every classic Jazz Bass tonal blend
- Bone nut, 1.5″ width, strung with Fender USA Bass 7250M NPS strings (.045-.105)
- Includes hardshell case
Whether you’re locking in a deep pocket for a soul gig or cutting through a mix with that trademark growl, this bass gives you the speed and articulation the Jazz Bass has been known for since day one – built to Fender’s American Professional standard.
