Introduced as the slimmer, deluxe counterpart to the Precision Bass, for generations the Jazz Bass has seduced players of all genres with its nimble playability and brighter tone. The American Performer Jazz Bass builds on this inimitable legacy with modern advancements like dual Yosemite single-coil pickups featuring flat-staggered pole pieces and Greasebucket circuitry for rich, dynamic tone, and a solid maple neck carved to a “Modern C” profile with a 21-fret, 9.5-radius rosewood fingerboard for contemporary comfort and versatility.
About Fender American Performer Series:
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.
The Fender American Performer Series makes American-made quality accessible to every player. Six new models, handcrafted in Corona, California, highlight the traditional design of Fender’s most celebrated guitars, while adding new innovations and modern components to enhance tone, performance, and feel.
