Fender American Professional II Jazz Bass® Fretless, Rosewood Fingerboard, 3-Color Sunburst

Description

The Fender American Professional II Jazz Bass Fretless is a time-tested electric bass design that traces its roots back to the 80s American Standard Jazz Bass and even further back to the first Jazz Bass, which Fender introduced in 1961. The latest incarnation of this groundbreaking instrument is built around a tonally balanced alder body, which pairs perfectly with the classic punch it gets from its V-Mod II single-coil pickups. Its fast, comfortable Slim “C” neck, rounded fretboard edges and elegantly designed neck/body joint create an electric bass that is a joy to play along the entire length of the fretboard. Tuners with tapered shafts and a HiMass vintage bridge round out the design.

Many bassists consider the Jazz Bass neck to be one of the best necks ever made. The ultra-comfortable Slim “C” profile on the American Professional II Jazz Bass Fretless fits perfectly in the hand while also giving you plenty of room to spread out. The American Professional II Jazz Bass Fretless has rounded fretboard edges and a natural satin finish on the back of the neck, which feels comfortable to the touch and does not become greasy after long sessions. The neck/body joint is cut more elegantly, giving you easier and more comfortable access to the upper register of the electric bass.

Jazz basses boast a 2-pickup configuration, allowing you to explore a variety of different tonal options. Fender’s new V-Mod II Precision Bass split-coil pickup delivers classic Jazz Bass punch and growl, but the pickup has become more articulate than those found in earlier versions. A genuine bone saddle and HiMass Vintage bridge with 4 saddles ensure maximum contact between the strings and the body, while the lightweight vintage tuning keys provide excellent tuning stability and quick string changes.

Although the American Professional II Jazz Bass looks and feels like an old friend, it is packed with features that improve both playability and tone. One of the most notable features is its 4-saddle HiMass vintage bridge. The bridge’s rigid construction works together with the electric bass’s bone saddle to transfer more of the string’s energy to the bass body, resulting in a more sustained and articulate tone. The lightweight vintage tuning keys provide excellent tuning stability and quick string changes.
