Fender American Professional Classic Jazz Bass®

Fender American Professional Classic Jazz Bass®

The Jazz Bass has shaped the sound of popular music for over six decades — warm, articulate, and endlessly expressive in a way that works in virtually every genre imaginable. The American Professional Classic Jazz Bass takes the soul of the original 1962 design and refines it for today’s player, pairing vintage-inspired Coastline™ ’62 pickups with a Modern “C” neck, Greasebucket™ tone circuit, and classic lollipop tuners that nail the golden-era aesthetic. Available in three beautifully faded finishes, this is the Jazz Bass for players who want the real vintage feel without sacrificing a single ounce of modern performance.
