Allmänt
The left-handed Fender American Professional II Jazz Bass takes all of the regal pedigree and rich history, all of that revered J-bass playing feel, comfort, and tone and softly nudges it further than ever. The neck has retained the tried-tested-and-true comfort of a Slim C-profile, but comes with the extra stability of a 5-bolt construction, while the back has been treated to a fresh coat of 'Super Natural' satin gloss for an even faster, even smoother feel in the fret hand. Another deeply welcome upgrade is the extra-rounded fretboard edges - in fact, even the top corner of the neck-plate and heel have been rounded off for extra comfort as you reach the highest of the 20 narrow tall frets.
The American Professional II Jazz Bass: Familiar & Refined
Fender have even tweaked and freshened up the alnico pickups of this pro-grade bass. So the pair of single-coils might look very familiar, but this is the next generation: the V-Mod II pickups. Full-fat bass and clean trebles are a given, but the renewed winding gives the sound of this Jazz Bass that all-important touch of refinement, and of course, each pick-up gets a dedicated volume control, and you can tweak the whole using the master tone pot. For classic looks alongside excellent sustain and tuning stability, the inclusion of a 4-Saddle HiMass Vintage bridge is yet another rich treat that can be used as a string-through-body or toploader as preferred, so you can attain the perfect, and most personalised sound and feel possible. This finishes a giant among basses and Fender's new, even higher level, professional-standard J-bass.
