Description
There’s a reason the Jazz Bass shape has stuck around on stages for decades, and this American Performer model gives you that pedigree with a few smart upgrades built for working bassists. The alder body and maple neck combo delivers a bright, articulate low end, while the pair of Yosemite single-coil pickups — voiced individually for their bridge and middle positions — give you that snarling, growly Jazz Bass character with more clarity than you’d expect stock.
The Modern “C”-shaped neck wears a satin finish that stays fast under sweaty hands during a long set, and the 9.5″ radius fingerboard with 20 medium-jumbo frets makes bending and sliding feel natural rather than forced. Tapered-shaft tuning machines keep string windings compressed for solid sustain and tuning that holds up night after night, and the 4-saddle bridge locks in intonation so every note lands where it should.
One detail that sets this bass apart from a standard Jazz wiring scheme: the Greasebucket tone circuit. Roll off highs and you lose the harsh edge without the tone turning muddy or bass-heavy — your low end stays tight and defined instead of collapsing into mush. Finished in Satin Surf Green with a gigbag included, it’s built to go from practice room to gig without missing a beat.
