Capture that classic vintage sound. Fender are committed to providing the best possible pickups. That's why this bass boasts a Vintage-Style Single Coil Jazz Bass and its '60s counterpart. With these, you can craft your tone to perfection. Focused single coils mean you get a super clear sound - no matter what style you play.
The bridge pickup is tight and punchy - something which made the Jazz Basses of old so popular. It will project your notes with sharp clarity and precision. And a Vintage-Style '60s Single-Coil Jazz Bass pickup in the middle position offers a world of different tones for you to explore. Rich and creamy, it smoothens out your notes and makes them sing with warmth. Working in complete harmony, these pickups will invigorate your music.
Pure maple magic
Superb smoothness. Supreme comfort. The 'U' shaped maple neck on this bass offers exceptional playability. Smooth, sweet, and made to be played, it gives you the ability to craft your basslines with style and flair. Whether you're holding down a tight rhythm or shredding your way across the fretboard, this neck will maximise your capabilities. And it's got a gloss polyester finish for exceptional feel and fluid manoeuvrability. You'll feel totally at home playing it.
Snappy maple fretboard
Feel the twang. The bright, punchy resonance created when the maple fretboard vibrates also lends itself to your sound, adding crunch and definition. It, too, feels incredibly smooth, allowing your fingers to glide along each fret with ease. There's nothing holding you back from playing to perfection.
Solid hardware
Play with peace of mind. To top off the incredible design, Fender have spared nothing in creating a completely satisfying bass experience. From the head to the bridge - the MIJ Jazz Bass feels exactly how a bass guitar should. Simply sublime. Vintage-style machine-heads allow you to tune with superb accuracy, and a 4-saddle vintage-style bridge also ensures your tuning remains true. The bridge also boosts your sustain, for a tone which rings out with prominence. Made in Japan for a truly unique and professional feel, this bass's sound will stay with you forever.
