Beautiful tonewood blend
Alder is commonly used to craft the body of electric guitars due to its balanced tone and excellent dynamics. This Jazz Bass features 2pc alder, which elevates the essence of the tonewood. Excellent sustain and resonance are infused into your sound, allowing your instrument to project with impeccable depth that is guaranteed to cut through the mix. Its well-rounded sound is what makes this material the perfect tonewood choice for basses. Play with depth and confidence in every setting.
Complementing the body is a quartersawn maple neck and rosewood fingerboard. Both of these materials offer their own unique tonalities that combine in order to balance each other out for an incredible broad dynamic and versatile sound. Maple produces bright, crisp, and transparent tones for an incredible high-end. But when paired with the round-laminate rosewood, the overtones are balanced out due to its rich, smooth, and warm nature. All of these tonewoods combine ensure the Jazz Bass is ideal for all performers.
A bass built for brilliance
Every instrument that the legendary Custom Shop puts out is a dream to play, and of course this Jazz Bass is no exception. Each aspect, from how this bass feels to how it plays, has been carefully sculpted by Fender in order to create a truly remarkable instrument. Crafted with a U-profile, the maple neck provides a comfortable grasp for full control of the Custom Shop, whilst still offering enough freedom to glide from note to note with ease. A delightful round-laminated rosewood fingerboard also delivers a delicate surface to float across, whilst also adding exceptional well-rounded tonal qualities. An absolute pleasure to play.
