Description
This isn’t just another Jazz Bass reissue on the wall – it’s the model built for players who log real hours behind the strings. Alder body, maple neck with that slim “Modern C” profile Fender nailed down for hands that need to move fast across 20 narrow-tall frets. The 9.5″ fingerboard radius keeps things comfortable whether you’re locking into a walking line or reaching for a chord up top.
The real story is under the pickguard. Michael Bump’s V-Mod single-coil Jazz Bass pickups sit in the bridge and neck positions, blending alnico magnet types to give you that scooped, punchy Jazz Bass voice with real vintage character – not a sanitized copy of it. Roll between the two Volume knobs and the Master Tone, and you’ve got the classic in/out-of-phase-adjacent flexibility Jazz Bass players have leaned on since 1960, from funk and fusion to disco basslines and straight-ahead rock.
Under the hood, Fender addressed the stuff that actually matters on the road: Posiflex graphite rods embedded in the neck resist warping through climate swings and van rides, while the redesigned fluted-shaft tuners keep string windings tight for better break angle over the bone nut and steadier tuning night after night. The vintage-style HiMass 4-saddle bridge adds mass and sustain without abandoning the look that made this bass iconic.
