FAQ

What makes the American Professional Jazz Bass Guitar unique?

The American Professional Jazz Bass Guitar is unique due to its blend of modern features and classic design. It's equipped with brand-new V-Mod single-coil Jazz Bass pickups, a slim modern 'C'-shaped neck, and narrow-tall frets for a comfortable, familiar playing feel. Plus, it has Posiflex graphite support rods for neck stability and redesigned tuning machines for enhanced tuning stability.

What is the significance of the V-Mod single-coil Jazz Bass pickups?

The V-Mod single-coil Jazz Bass pickups, developed by pickup master Michael Bump, use a carefully selected blend of alnico magnet types. This ensures a balanced tone that carries the authentic Fender sonic DNA, offering a sound that's as versatile as it is vibrant.

What kind of music genres is the American Professional Jazz Bass Guitar suitable for?

The American Professional Jazz Bass Guitar is highly versatile and suitable for a wide range of music genres. From funk and fusion to disco and modern rock, its speedy, powerful, and articulate sound has made it a favorite among musicians of various styles.

What is the role of the Posiflex graphite support rods in the American Professional Jazz Bass Guitar?

The Posiflex graphite support rods run the length of the neck, adding stability and resisting warping. This ensures that the neck remains straight and stable, providing a consistent playing feel.

How do the redesigned tuning machines enhance the performance of the American Professional Jazz Bass Guitar?

The redesigned tuning machines use a fluted shaft, creating the optimal break angle over the nut. This keeps the string windings tight, which in turn increases sustain and enhances tuning stability, for a more reliable and resonant performance.

Great bass

Very nice bass. Shipped quickly and arrived with no issues. Slight truss rod adjustment needed and then was ready to go. Plays great, and the new pickups are very nice. All in all very happy with the American Professional Jazz bass.
