The highly acclaimed Fender Select series introduces its lineup for 2013. These finely crafted guitars and basses put decades of Fender expertise on display, with elegant features and design options for discerning musicians everywhere.

Like its passive-electronics 2012 predecessor, the Fender Select Active Jazz Bass takes its versatile bass to greater heights of elegance and power. Its alder body has a flame maple top and a beautiful hand-stained Tobacco Sunburst finish with gloss-lacquer topcoat. The modern "C"-shaped quarter-sawn maple neck has a comfortable contoured heel, satin-lacquer finish and Posiflex graphite support rods; the compound-radius rosewood fingerboard (9.5-14") has 20 medium jumbo frets and stylish white pearloid block position inlays.

Other premium features include dual Fender Select Jazz Bass single-coil pickups, active/passive mini-toggle switch, master volume knob and pickup pan knob, three-band active EQ (treble, mid and bass boost/cut knobs), three-ply parchment pickguard, high-mass vintage-style bridge (string-through-body or top-load), vintage-style tuners with tapered shafts, and Fender Select headstock medallion.

Bought mine and absolutely love it! The tone is to die for! Has a great action and while bought the heaviest I found if you don't like the active pups there is a toggle for passive! These are factory made basses for almost boutique prices but don't let that scare you! The luthiers that build these are great at what they do! The only ones better are from the Custom Shop andtheyhave the Custom Shop prices!a very resistible bass for any style music and any style of play, fingers slap or god forbid the pick players!
