Fender ® American Deluxe Jazz Bass® Fretless

FENDER 0194468 Details ^top

These basses aren't called "deluxe" for nothing! Each model reflects all the latest refinements from our R&D team – offering a synergy of pickup design and electronics – and feature abalone dot position inlays, rolled fingerboard edges, and highly detailed nut and fretwork. Additional features include: a graphite reinforced neck, premium alder or ash body, combination strings-through-body/top-load bridge, five-bolt neck plate, sculpted heel for easier access to the upper frets and chromed steel bridge plate with nickel-plated brass saddles. Our upgraded American Deluxe Jazz Bass captures the spirit of innovation with its three-band active EQ and two Samarium Cobalt Noiseless™ J Bass® pickups. The Jazz Bass V incorporates our four-over/one-under tuning machine array and two Hipshot™ string trees with custom-tailored break-angles that create balanced string tension across all five strings.
