American Performer Jazz Bass: sound possibilities

The two Yosemite single-coils on board this bass were newly developed. They have flat staggered poles that boost their output and a shellac coating that prevents problems with feedback. Two volume potentiometers allow you to find the perfect sound mix. The tone potentiometer has a Greasebucket circuit which gives you greater control over the higher frequencies too and well as keeping the lower frequencies in check.

Playing comfort

The American Performer Jazz Bass has the familiar offset body that's known for its comfort and that theme continues with features like the maple neck's modern C profile and the maple fretboard's 9.5-inch radius. Jumbo frets add to this model's excellent playing comfort too. The mix of traditional and modern can also found in the vintage, paddle-style machine heads that have a lightweight design.
