General

With its great mix of modern and vintage, the Fender American Elite series Jazz Bass V might be the perfect instrument for you. It features an offset body with a classic 3-Tone Sunburst finish, giving it a traditional look that belies its remarkably versatile character. Toggling between active and passive mode allows the Elite Jazz Bass to offer different sounds from various genres and time periods. Finally, the Fender Elite Jazz Bass V comes with a case, a guitar strap and an instrument cable!

American Elite Jazz Bass V RW: plenty of punch and sustain

On the comfortably lightweight and richly resonant ash P-style body, you'll find a solid Fender 4-saddle HiMass Vintage bridge, which allows for longer sustain and exquisite intonation. The same focus on quality is also evident in the American Elite's compound neck, with a profile that changes from a modern C to a D, and a fretboard with a 9.5 - 14" radius. Moreover, the maple neck features a satin finish, and combined with the rosewood fretboard, it adds some punch and comfort to this Fender Jazz Bass V's already excellent playing experience.

American Elite series guitars and bass guitars

The American Elite series features several different versions of the famous Telecaster, Stratocaster, Precision Bass, Jazz Bass and Dimension Bass models. Every single one of these carefully crafted guitars and bass guitars was made in the US, guaranteeing top Fender quality. For the Elite series, Fender combined their tried and true traditional designs with modern features such as a compound-radius fretboard and neck profile.
