Fender Limited Edition Lightweight Ash American Professional Jazz Bass - Sienna Sunburst

LTD Lightweight Ash American Pro Jazz Bass
Originally introduced as the "Deluxe" model in 1960, the Fender Jazz Bass delighted electric bassists with its versatile dual-pickup setup and comfortable offset-waist body. Not many bass guitar designs have found wider favor around the world than the Jazz Bass. Limited Edition Lightweight Ash American Professional Jazz Bass is designed from the ground up to offer you a lighter weight gigging and recording instrument with eye-catching, special-edition visuals and a bevy of player-friendly features. Your hand will wrap comfortably around the familiar Slim C neck contour, while you enjoy the classic growl and old-school low end delivered by a pair of V-Mod single-coil J Bass pickups. Only 158 Fender Limited Edition Lightweight Ash American Professional Jazz Basses will be available for the Americas, so you'd better grab yours at Sweetwater while you can!




One of the best necks in the business
Many bass players agree that Jazz Basses boast some of the best necks ever made. And you'll enjoy every bit of that to-die-for profile on your American Professional Jazz. It fits in your hand perfectly while being narrow enough to move up and down the fretboard easily. The neck's satin finish gives the feeling of a well-worked vintage instrument, while its 9.5" fingerboard radius is more akin to what you'll find on more modern designs. And a set of Posiflex graphite rods is installed to keep the neck stable and straight, a very popular addition here at Sweetwater.






Simple and effective electronics
Jazz basses boast a 2-pickup setup, allowing you to get diverse tonal variation. The single-coils and the instrument's 3-knob setup have been responsible for a wide array of some of the most legendary bass tones in history. The American Professional Jazz Bass sticks close to its heritage with a duet of V-Mod single-coil pickups. Designed by pickup guru Tim Shaw, these single-coils exhibit the warm and natural tones of older pickups, while delivering the clarity and dynamic range of some of today's best designs.




Player-friendly appointments
Though the American Professional Jazz Bass looks and feels like a familiar friend, it's loaded with features that enhance both playability and tone. One of the most notable is the HiMass vintage-style bridge. This bridge's rigid construction and string-through body design work in concert with the bone nut to transfer more of the string's energy to the body of the instrument, enhancing its sustain and articulation. And the American Professional Jazz Bass's fluted tuner design ensures you have optimal break angle and tension on your string posts.
