Overview

The decades-long standard for bass tone and playability.

The Fender American Jazz Bass approaches Custom Shop quality with its premium ash or alder body, slim graphite-reinforced neck with rolled edges, highly detailed fret and nut work, and U.S. Jazz Bass pickups. It also features an S-1 switch that changes the pickups from parallel to series when engaged, creating a fatter, wider, almost humbucking tone similar to that of a Precision bass. 9-1/2"-radius fingerboard, 34" scale, and 1-1/2" nut width.
