DESCRIPTION

The American Professional II Jazz Bass Fretless draws from more than sixty years of innovation, inspiration and evolution to meet the demands of today's working player.

Our popular Slim "C" neck now sports smooth rolled fingerboard edges, a "Super-Natural" satin finish and a newly sculpted neck heel for a supremely comfortable feel and easy access to the upper register. New V-Mod II Jazz Bass single-coil pickups are more articulate than ever while delivering the punch and clarity the Jazz Bass is known for.

The American Pro II Jazz Bass Fretless delivers instant familiarity and sonic versatility you'll feel and hear right away, with broad ranging improvements that add up to nothing less than a new standard for professional instruments.

FEATURES

• Two V-Mod II single-coil Jazz Bass pickups
• Slim "C"-shaped neck profile with rolled fingerboard edges
• Bone nut
• HiMass™ Vintage bridge for increased sustain
• Posiflex graphite rods for neck reinforcement
• Includes Deluxe Molded hardshell case

V-MOD II PICKUPS
V-Mod II Jazz Bass V pickups are voiced specifically for each position, slightly overwound for punch and presence, yet retaining vintage warmth and clarity.

NEW SCULPTED NECK HEEL
The rounded neck heel and beveled neck-plate improve access to the upper register and make leads easy and comfortable.

FRETLESS FINGERBOARD
There’s nothing like the slippery, fluid and elastic tone of a fretless Jazz Bass. A distinctly classic Fender sound since the early 1970s, it’s in better form than ever today with the American Professional II Jazz Bass Fretless model.

SLIM “C” NECK WITH ROLLED EDGES
The slim “C” features a 9.5” fingerboard radius, hand-rolled fingerboard edges and Super-Natural satin finish for a supremely comfortable playing feel.

TAPERED-SHAFT TUNING MACHINES
Wider at the top than the bottom, the tapered shafts force the string windings downward and keep them tight, resulting in a sharper and consistent break angle over the nut, creating increased sustain and better tuning stability.

POSIFLEX GRAPHITE RODS
All American Professional bass necks incorporate Posiflex graphite rods to reinforce against movement that can occur with fluctuations in the climate. Embedded beneath the fingerboard, they improve reliability on the road, in the studio or in your home.
