Fender American Elite Jazz Bass V Ash Natural MN

General

Are you fond of the American Jazz Bass, but do you wish it was a little more versatile? This Fender bass features a solid ash body in a transparent natural finish and has an extra string. Usually it's a low B string that's added, but you could always choose to add a high C instead. Like any Jazz Bass worth its salt, this American Elite features two single-coil pickups and a pan knob. It's equipped with 4th Generation Fender Noiseless pickups that give you that famous vintage bass sound without any unwanted noise. What's more, using the two-way switch, you can toggle between passive and active mode, with the former actually allowing for on-board 3-band equalisation. Finally, it also comes with a case, a guitar strap and a cable.

American Elite Jazz Bass V Ash Natural MN: comfortable neck

On the comfortably lightweight and richly resonant ash J-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 maple fretboard, it adds some punch and comfort to the Jazz Bass V's already excellent playing experience.
