PLAYER'S PERSPECTIVE
There's a reason the Jazz Bass is one of the most popular basses ever made. Whether you're playing some funky slap licks, rockin' out with a pick, or anything in between - this Jazz bass pumps out impressive tone combined with expert craftsmanship.
With unbeatable feel, superb tone and flawless playability, the American Pro II Jazz Bass V always delivers top shelf performance. The new V-Mod II pickups pump out a slightly higher output for better definition and clarity in the low-mids. You get that classic Jazz bass growl and can easily still dial in vintage tones while maintaining the capacity to get a little more modern than the American Standards of old. The new narrow-tall frets feel great under your fretting hand and allows you to get really expressive with bends, double-stops, and even chords, which always staying comfortable for single-note grooves. The B-string is tight and punchy so you don't have to worry about the dreaded B-wobble.
A classic design with a slightly modern take makes this a solid addition to Fender's line of basses. The American Professional II line is reliable, sounds killer, and plays awesome.
