Fender American Professional II Jazz Bass Dark Night RW Limited Edition Electric Bass Guitar with Case

The Fender American Professional II Jazz Bass takes all of the regal pedigree, rich history and all of that revered J-bass playing feel, comfort, and tone and softly nudges it further than ever. The neck has retained the tried-tested-and-true comfort of a Slim C-profile, but comes with the extra stability of a 5-bolt connection, and a fresh coat of ‘Super Natural’ satin gloss for an even faster, even smoother feel in the fret hand. Another deeply welcome upgrade is the extra-rounded fretboard edges – in fact, even the top corner of the neck-plate and heel have been rounded off for extra comfort as you reach the highest of the 20 narrow tall frets.

The American Professional II Jazz Bass: A Refined and Familiar Foundation
Fender have even tweaked and freshened up the Alnico pickups of this pro-grade bass, so the pair of single-coils might look familiar, but these are the next generation V-Mod II pickups. Full-fat bass and clean trebles are a given, but the renewed winding gives the sound of this Jazz Bass that all-important touch of refinement, and of course, each pickup has been equipped with a dedicated volume control and the overall tone is tweaked using the master tone pot. The inclusion of a 4-Saddle HiMass Vintage bridge is yet another rich treat and doesn’t just lay down excellent sustain and tuning stability but can be set up as a string-through-body or toploader as preferred, so you can attain the perfect, and most personalised sound and feel possible, finishing a giant among basses and Fender’s new, even higher level, professional-standard J-bass.
