Product Description
Fender American Standard Series Jazz Bass Guitar Maple Neck. These basses still feel something special. The balance is perfect and the neck profile is that superb smaller width 1.5" at the nut. The neck is maple with medium jumbo frets and rolled fingerboard edges attached to the body with a four bolt neck plate. The bass is equipped with two single coil American Standard Jazz bass pickups. The strings are anchored on a High Mass Vintage bridge that gives the option of strings thru body or thru the rear of the bridge. When thru the body the guitar body resonates far more effectively helping to create that unique Fender solid sound. The tuners are Fender®/Hipshot® Vintage Keys with Tapered Shafts. Having those two pickups definitely gives the Jazz an edge.
The guitar is available in a multitude of finish options. Sunburst is more expensive than a solid colour. The guitar comes in a recently upgraded high quality Molded rectangular SKB® case. This alone is worth £100. Includes other extras like a cable, strap and a polishing cloth.
SpecificationFender hit a giant bass home run in 1960 by introducing its deluxe-model four-string instrument—the Jazz Bass guitar. With its sleek offset body; thin, fast neck and rich, growling tone, it was a raring, roaring racecar of a bass that quickly established itself as a must-have instrument.
The new American Standard Jazz Bass is an even finer player’s instrument—a modern interpretation of our classic instrument for today’s players. Features include our new high-mass vintage bridge, a thinner finish undercoat that lets the body breathe and improves resonance, new and improved Fender tuning keys that keep the classic look but are 30 percent lighter, a richer and deeper neck tint for a more elegant appearance, a great-looking glossed maple or rosewood fingerboard and satin back for smooth playability, a new Fender-exclusive SKB molded case and a gorgeous new Blizzard Pearl finish option.
