Maple Neck and Rosewood Fingerboard

The basses Maple neck contributes some tightness and cut the overall tonality, creating an edge of sizzle in the highs and bright characteristics. The Rosewood fingerboard helps to fur up the Maples tone, giving it a little warmth and sweetness to produce sparkling highs and thick lows. The Maple/Rosewood combination creates an open mid-range with a snappy attack, while its modern “C” shape offers a comfortable play, and its 12” radius and 20 medium jumbo frets provide a familiar feel.

Vintage Noiseless Jazz Bass Pickups

The Fender Jazz Bass features a pair of Vintage Noisless Jazz Bass pickups positioned in the bridge and middle positions, producing incredible growls and a powerful sonic personality. The bright, full tones of the pickups cut through the mix easily, allowing the bass to be heard clearly while retaining its punch and low end. Also featuring active/passive switching, the Deluxe bass can access both vintage and modern voices, while its 3-band EQ allows control over the treble, mids, and bass.

Resonant Synthetic Bone Nut

When compared to traditional plastic and Tusq materials used to construct guitar nuts, synthetic bone improves the vibration transfer between the string and tuning machines without dampening the tone.
