The Jazz Bass is a refinement of the concepts first introduced by Leo Fender in the Precision Bass and how that concept evolved into one of the most popular bass guitars on the planet. Designed and Engineered for today’s musician, the American Professional Jazz Bass combines modern features and materials with Fender’s craftsmanship and expertise to produce a truly contemporary bass.
Speedy, powerful and articulate, the Jazz Bass quickly carved out a niche for itself when it was released in 1960. The slim, ultra-fast neck and slick offset-waist styling made it a favorite of bassists everywhere. Funk, fusion, disco and, of course, modern rock all owe a life debt to the fantastically versatile Jazz Bass.
Part of the evolutionary process has been developed by pickup master Michael Bump. His brand-new V-Mod single-coil Jazz Bass pickups use a carefully selected blend of alnico magnet types for balanced tone with authentic Fender sonic DNA.
The Jazz Bass has always been about superior ergonomics – designed for comfort and performance and the American Professional Jazz Bass ticks all the boxes. The slim modern “C”-shaped neck profile feels just right nestled in your hand – making those long sessions a breeze. The narrow-tall frets provide a familiar playing feel, perfect intonation require the lightest touch to fret each note. Posiflex™ graphite support rods run the length of the neck, adding stability to the neck and resisting warping. The redesigned tuning machines use a fluted shaft, creating the optimum break angle over the nut while keeping the string windings tight for increased sustain and enhanced tuning stability.
The best of yesterday and today, the American Professional Jazz Bass is the latest form of electric inspiration from Fender. Step up and stake your claim to a legend.
