Fender

Updated electronics, vintage bridge, and a rugged alder body enhance one of the best Fender Jazz basses yet.

The Fender American Deluxe Jazz Bass delivers the modern features that bassists demand in a sleek, familiar electric bass. An updated preamp circuit puts out deeply exhilarating active and passive tone. Powerful-yet-quiet N3 Noiseless pickups present more clean headroom, extended EQ range, and plenty of sublime tonal options, thanks to the active/passive toggle switch and passive tone control. The classic Fender Jazz Bass block fretboard inlays and binding give the Deluxe Jazz Bass extra touches of class.

The Fender American Deluxe J-bass is built with an alder body—a hard wood that provides clear tone and lasting sustain. The maple neck with modern C-shape, Posiflex graphite neck support rods, 5-bolt neck plate, and contoured heel make the instrument extremely easy to play. The High-Mass Vintage bass bridge offers compressed and focused bass tone, with more mid range punch. It retains the Fender articulation and sparkle, combined with vintage-style saddles to maintain a classic vibe. The combination of a steel plate with brass saddles produces the best possible Fender Bass sound.

Pairing up these pickups with the Deluxe Jazz Bass' EQ and volume controls provides that notorious Fender Jazz bass sound that has mystified some of the world's most prominent bassists for decades.

Other Fender features include Stealth "A" string retainer, tinted neck, rolled fingerboard edges, highly detailed nut- and fretwork, genuine bone nut, flat-head screws on battery compartment (for easy changes with a coin or pick), gloss polyurethane neck finish, and a gloss urethane body finish to dress this bass in ultimate style and beauty.

Beautiful Instrument

| Review By: Freo | 2 weeks, 5 days ago

1 people out of 1 found this review helpful

Features:

I own a few Fender basses. MIM, MIJ and now MIA.The onboard controls of the American Deluxe Jazz are amazing. Active/Passive switch is really nice. The builtin preamp offers a noticeable difference and is great. I put the Leo Quan bridge on all of my Fender basses because the originals are too thin and look cheap. I won't be replacing the bridge on this one because the HMV bridge is nice and beefy. The finish on the body was emaculate. The satin finish on the neck allows for very smooth movement. I was a little disapointed in the neck binding and frets. I actually prefer the feel of the neck binding and fretwork on my Geddy Lee signature. That's not to say the fretwork on the Amer. Dlx. is bad. It's very good. Just not as good (imo). I was expecting the rolled fretboard to be a little more "rolled" I guess. The neck is fast and solid and fits tight to the one piece body. You can feel the resonanace through your hands and body. Very well balanced and comfortable to play. It feels like it's part of you. The input jack is on the bottom edge instead of the front of the body like my other Jazz basses. Just a curious note on that.

Quality:

There's no doubt this is a very high quality instrument. The wood, bridge, tuners, controls and finish are top notch. The action was perfect (for me) right out of the box. I like a nice low action. The case is amazing. It looks heavy but it's suprisingly light. The case has nice big latches that lock down solid and secure. It comes with a really nice case.

Value:

This is not a cheap instrument but for the price I would have liked the ends of the frets along the binding to feel a bit smoother. But if you compare this bass to some of the issues some of my friends have had with the necks and frets on their old Rickys along with the price of a Rick. I'm certain a Fender will out live a Rickenbacker and give you far fewer issues for the price.

Overall:

Overall considering price, quality and features I have to give this bass a 10. My critisizm of the binding and fretwork is my personal preference and me just being a bit picky. If it were stolen I would buy another one and I would recomend this bass to anyone looking for a beautiful, solid, quality bass guitar. You won't be disapointed.

Fender American Deluxe Jazz Bass

| Review By: Tim West | 5 months, 2 weeks ago

1 people out of 5 found this review helpful

Features:

I have owned many Fender bass guitars over the years. This deluxe bass is wonderful. The adjustment settings get me more tones I am looking for. I would rank the jazz bass right up to the top. I love my Fender Getty Lee bass because of the neck but I asure you the deluxe will get you added tones. I bought from here in used mint condition and it arrived in mint condition.
