Features of the American Standard Jazz Bass

This edition of the American Standard Jazz Bass was fitted with Fender Custom Shop '60s alnico 5 single-coil pickups. These are modelled after the original pickups but now provide some more output for extra punch, mids and bass. The High Mass Vintage bridge features the classic looks but has extra mass for a bigger tone and more sustain. What is more, the high-quality Hipshot machine heads are no less than 30% lighter than their predecessors. Additionally, the thinner coat of paint provides that the J-bass' wooden body can breathe and resonate better. The deeper tint of the neck adds to the elegant looks of this amazing classic.

No frets, yet extra tone

As its name implies, the Fender American Standard Jazz Bass Fretless has no frets. This may not seem like a major modification but it drastically influences the sound The sound of fretless bass guitars is often described as mellow, or sultry, warm and melodious. Also, the playability is completely different and requires some practice but once you're used to it, you'll effortlessly slide from one note to the next, like you would on a double bass. It'll come as no surprise, then, that you often hear these bass guitars in jazz, funk and R&B music. Whether you like to slap, finger pick or use a plectrum, the Jazz Bass delivers a top performance every single time.
