Description
The Jazz Bass has been the go-to instrument for bassists who need speed, clarity, and a neck that disappears in your hand since 1960 — and this American Professional model keeps that legacy honest while tightening up the parts that matter most on stage and in the studio.
Under the hood you’ll find V-Mod single-coil Jazz Bass pickups, designed by pickup veteran Michael Bump using a specific blend of alnico magnets. They deliver that unmistakable Jazz Bass punch — crisp on top, warm in the low mids — without sounding sterile or overly hot. Dial in the neck pickup for round, thumping support or blend in the bridge for that classic snarl that cuts through a busy mix.
The Slim “Modern C” maple neck profile is built for hands that move fast and play long sets, paired with a 9.5″ fingerboard radius and narrow-tall frets that make bending and chording up the neck feel natural rather than like a workout. Posiflex graphite rods run the length of the neck to fight off warping from temperature and humidity swings — a real concern if you’re loading in and out of climate-controlled venues and sweaty basements in the same week. Fluted-shaft tuning machines keep string windings tight for a cleaner break angle over the bone nut, translating to better sustain and tuning that actually holds.
The vintage-style HiMass 4-saddle bridge adds mass and stability without abandoning that old-school look, and it’s set up for either string-through-body or top-load stringing depending on how you like your tension.
