Fender American Professional II Jazz Bass RW, 3-Tone Sunburst

Full Description

Scintillating single-coil sound. V-Mod style.

Tone every bassist craves. When the original V-Mod single-coil pickups first released with the American Pro series, players were instantly blown away by their gigantic output, crystal-clear clarity, and sweet, vintage voicing. So much so, the question was asked: "does it get any better than this?". Yes. Because Fender never rest on their success - they strive for constant improvement and innovation. Which is why the V-Mod II single-coils are possibly some of the best bass pickups out there.

Booming bass power. Immaculate articulation. These superb pickups offer everything you really desire out of your bass sound - and more. Because not only are they authentically vintage, but their versatility is quite simply unmatched. From clean jazz licks, to all-out rock 'n' roll mayhem; there's nothing these punching pickups can't handle. But how can words do them justice? Hear the difference.

Authentic playability

You can't beat the classics. But you can perfect them. The American Professional II delivers era-specific playability for the modern bassist. The Jazz Bass is perfect for any style of player, from traditional jazz to contemporary pop. Riff with ease on a slim "C"-shaped neck, newly-sculpted for enhanced hand positioning. The fingerboard is rolled for enhanced performance, lending to fast, comfortable playing at every fret position. Topped off with a super-natural satin finish, the American Pro II Jazz Bass prides on it effortless, premium feel. Addictive playability is just a reach away.

Pitch perfect - night after night

You've brought your A-game. You're playing with passion and accuracy. Now you need your bass to do its part as well. Well, rest assured because everything you play on this bass will be accurate and precise. At the hands of Fender lightweight vintage-style tuning machines with tapered shafts, your strings will be held in tune. So stressful re-tuning mid-song will become a thing of the past. While a bone nut provides pitch-perfect intonation and string stability to ensure no more buzzing or dampening of your tone. Plus, you have a reliable four-saddle HiMass vintage-style bridge with threaded steel saddles. How's that for vintage excellence?

Deluxe protection

It matters. An instrument of such class and iconic status needs protecting. Which is why it comes with a deluxe molded case. Take this persona-igniting instrument on the road, with the peace of mind that it'll be in pristine condition every time you play. Preventing scratching, scraping, or any other damage to your guitar – you’ll be able to travel between venues simply and stress-free. No worries. No panic. Just the excitement of performance, the way it should be.
