The Fender American Deluxe Jazz Electric Bass is a top-of-the-line American-made instrument. It combines select materials with a tried-and-true design and the best of modern onboard electronics. If you're in the market for a J Bass, try one of Fender's finest.

Select Alder Body and Maple Neck

American Deluxe guitars are crafted from select alder and have a modern C-shaped maple neck with graphite reinforcement. The rosewood fingerboard has rounded edges and is bound to the neck. There are 21 medium jumbo frets and vintage-style block pearloid inlays. Neck heel has been contoured to allow for improved access to the upper frets.

Noiseless N3 Pickups for Remarkable Tonal Range

Modern electronics onboard the American Deluxe Jazz Bass offer a wealth of tonal capabilities. For starters, you've got two Noiseless N3 single-coil pickups which are quiet when you want them to be and powerful when you need it. There's a pan pot pickup selector which can be used to blend the neck and bridge pickup. Whereas most guitars have a 3-way or 5-way pickup selector switch, the pan pot pickup selector allows for continuous blending of the two pickups for endless tonal shading possibilities.

Active and Passive Pickup Modes

You've got three band EQ with boost and cut controls for treble, bass, and midrange. What's more, the American Deluxe Jazz Bass sports novel circuitry which allows for both active and passive pickup modes. There's an active/passive mini-toggle switch and an… read more independent passive tone control knob so you can dial in just the sound you're looking for.
