As fast-playing and heavy as the Mastodon bassist himself, the Fender Artist Troy Sanders Jaguar Bass features a “modern-C” neck profile and rosewood fingerboard with a 9.5″ radius for quick fretwork, as well as a custom Noiseless single-coil Jazz Bass pickup and an American Standard Alnico V split single-coil Precision Bass pickup with dual-circuit electronics, an 9V active preamp with active/passive switching and expanded controls for a fully-tailored low-end assault. Founded by Leo Fender in 1938 as Fender’s Radio Service, what is now the Fender Musical Instruments Corporation began making electric guitars and amplifiers in 1945. The rest, as they say, is history. Creator of the world’s first mass-produced, and by far most popular, solid-bodied electric, Fender is now the world’s leading guitar manufacturer.
Developed hand-in-hand with some of the biggest artists of yesterday and today, the Fender Artist Series is a collaborative line of signature models incorporating hand-selected tonewoods and custom appointments and specs, voiced to specific tones and playing styles by our master builders and the artists themselves. Stratocasters, Telecasters, Jaguars, Jazzmasters, and Jazz, Precision, and Jaguar basses take on new life with the help of some of music’s most revered icons.
