The Most Beautiful Thing I've Ever Put My Hands On

Packaged very nicely, first by Fender (bass was in a pretty nice gig bag, inside the Fender box), and then protected very well by Adorama. I love this bass! I had never played a Fender before getting this one, and wow, it exceeded all my expectations. Pictures do not do this classic masterpiece justice. A must have for any serious bass player. For me, it is the perfect bass as far as the neck, tone and weight. Pickups are HOT, and very versatile. I did however immediately replace the bridge to a Fender High Mass, but that's just me. Literally, this bass has taken my playing to the next level. Adorama was awesome.

About Fender American Performer

Born in Corona, California, the elegant American Performer Jazzmaster delivers the exceptional tone and refined feel you expect from an authentic Fender-with new player-oriented features that make it even more inspiring to play.

The American Performer Jazzmaster includes the Yosemite single-coil pickups, designed for rich, expressive tones. With flat-staggered pole pieces to increase output and a shellac coating that lets the coil breathe while controlling feedback, Yosemite pickups produce dynamic sounds ideal for any musical situation.

The American Performer Stratocaster also features Greasebucket tone circuitry that lets you shape your highs without adding bass, along with a push-pull tone control which adds the neck pickup in any switch position, unlocking new sonic possibilities. The "Modern C"- shaped neck sports a 9.5"- radius fingerboard that's comfortable for all playing styles, along with 22 jumbo frets for effortless and accurate bending. As a final touch, the traditional Jazzmaster tailpiece and bridge have been replaced with a Strat-style six-screw vintage-style synchronized tremolo bridge
