The classic U.S.-made Fender Jazz Bass with subtle refinements to meet the tastes and needs of current-day players. This American Series J comes with a classically contoured, offset-waist alder body, fast maple neck, chrome hardware, and 5-string Jazz Bass pickups. Its updates include a graphite-reinforced neck, string-thru-body bridge design, pao ferro fretboard, and the S-1 switching system that enables series or parallel pickup wiring configurations for even more tonal flexibility. It also has a 3-ply parchment or black/white/black pickguard, detailed fret and nut work, and rolled edges on the neck to ensure smooth playability.
