Fender Limited Edition Flame Maple Jazz Bass, Aged Cherry Burst, Rosewood Board - US17048776
Player's Perspective
Music Store Live is proud to present this Fender Limited Edition American Pro Jazz Bass! Classic sound with a sexy flame maple top on it... It doesn't get any better than this.
With unbeatable feel, superb tone and flawless playability, the American Pro Jazz Bass always delivers top shelf performance. The new V-mod pickups pump out a slightly higher output for better definition and clarity in the low-mids. You get that classic Jazz bass growl and can easily still dial in vintage tones while maintaining the capacity to get a little more modern than the American Standards of old. The new narrow-tall frets feel great under your fretting hand and allows you to get really expressive with bends, double-stops, and even chords, which always staying comfortable for single-note grooves. The factory setup on this J Bass is phenomenal and we've gone over it to double check. There's no buzzing anywhere, the neck is straight, the action is low and the intonation is right on the money. A classic design with a slightly modern take makes this a solid addition to Fender's line of basses.
Item Details
Speedy, powerful and articulate, the Jazz Bass quickly carved out a niche for itself when it was released in 1960. The 2017 Limited Edition American Professional Jazz Bass combines modern features with a stunning figured maple top to create an instrument that looks as beautiful as it sounds. The brand-new V-Mod single-coil Jazz Bass pickups use a carefully selected blend of alnico magnet types for balanced tone with authentic Fender sonic DNA. Designed for comfort and performance, the slim modern C-shaped neck profile feels just right nestled in your hand while the 20 narrow-tall frets provide a familiar playing feel and perfect intonation. The four-saddle HiMass Vintage string-through-body bridge features nickel-plated brass saddles for a touch of extra 'zip' in the tone.
With its authentic, original-era sound and updated modern style, the 2017 Limited Edition American Professional Jazz Bass FMT is a rare, inspiring example of Fender's world-class craftsmanship.
