Using Ash, Fender have crafted the great jazz bass body featuring its double cutaway design making it easy to reach the higher frets; perfect for solos and more adventurous bass lines.

Its natural finish gives it a great look with the beautiful grain of the Ash being shown off.

The Maple neck features a Slim C shape, making it fast, easy and comfortable to play with a Maple fingerboard on top holding 20 narrow tall frets giving you perfect intonation and an extremely natural playing feel.

Newly Designed V-Mod Jazz Bass Pickups

Pickup designing legend, Michael Bump has developed the brand-new V-Mod single-coil Jazz Bass pickups, which make use of a carefully selected combination of alnico magnet types.

The end result is a beautifully balanced tone with authentic Fender jazz bass tone.

To tailor your tone to match your preference, there are two volume knobs (one for each pickup) and a Master Tone control.

High Quality Hardware

At the headstock of the Fender American Professional Jazz Bass you will find redesigned tuning machines that use a fluted shaft. This creates the optimum break angle over the nut while maintaining taut string windings, increasing sustain while bolstering tuning stability.

Down on the body, there is a 4-Saddle HiMass Vintage bridge which enhances note attack, resonance and sustain for some big bass lines while allowing for both topload and strings-thru-body stringing.

Adding stability to the neck and guarding against warping, Fender have installed Posiflex graphite support rods that run the length of the neck.

Coming to you in a protective elite moulded case, with vintage features, classic Fender jazz bass tone combined with modern playability and manufacturing techniques, the jazz bass just got a whole lot better.
