Vintage Soul, Modern Muscle
Meet the Fender American Professional Classic Jazz Bass, a masterful blend of golden-era vibe and modern-day performance. Finished in a stunning Faded Firemist Gold, this bass doesn't just look the part; it's built to perform, night after night. Fender took the timeless J-Bass platform and infused it with thoughtful, player-centric upgrades that deliver exceptional tone and feel. From the resonant alder body to the vintage-style hardware, every element works in harmony to create an instrument that feels instantly familiar yet excitingly new.
Coastline '62 Pickups & Greasebucket™ Tone
The heart of this J-Bass is its pair of Coastline '62 Single-Coil pickups. Fender based these on their Pure Vintage designs but overwound them slightly for enhanced warmth, focus, and punch. They've got that classic, articulate growl you expect, but with a bit more muscle. The real magic happens when you use the master Greasebucket™ Tone Circuit. Unlike a standard tone knob, the Greasebucket system lets you roll off highs without adding bass or losing your fundamental note, no more mud, just pure, usable tone at every setting.
Effortless Playability
Real talk, a bass has to feel right. Fender nailed it with the Modern "C" neck profile, a comfortable shape that feels great in the hand for hours of playing. The satin urethane finish gives it a smooth, broken-in feel right out of the box. Combined with a modern 9.5" radius rosewood fingerboard and 20 medium-jumbo frets, you get a playing surface that's perfect for both intricate melodic lines and solid, foundational grooves. It's fast, comfortable, and ready for anything.
Vintage-Style, Road-Ready Hardware
This bass is decked out with hardware that honors its heritage while providing rock-solid stability. The 4-saddle vintage-style bridge with steel saddles offers a classic feel and intonation, while the vintage-style "Lollipop" tuners not only look the part but hold tune with precision. Finished in gleaming Nickel/Chrome, the hardware perfectly complements the Faded Firemist Gold finish and 4-ply tortoiseshell pickguard, creating an instrument that looks as good as it sounds.
