Fender American Standard Jaguar Bass Olympic White
Product no: 9000-0012-0869 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

A bass guitar from the American Standard series assures you of Fender's top-of-the-line build quality. If you're seeking to combine this high quality with a proper dose of versatility, the Jaguar Bass is the guitar for you. This Olympic White American Standard Jaguar Bass borrowed its pickups from both the Jazz and the Precision Bass and so covers the whole spectrum of both the single-coil and the split single-coil pickups. For even more versatility, the Jaguar is equipped with two independent tone circuits, offering you the choice between active and passive. This bass comes with a case.

The powerful American Standard Jaguar Bass Olympic White

Fender have done everything they can to make this Jaguar the rugged, full-blooded American instrument that it is. They've equipped it with a heavy High Mass vintage bridge that allows for strings-through-body stringing and warrants a rich sound with lots of sustain thanks to the thick material. The headstock features HipShot tuners that, with their light weight, lower the risk of a diving neck. Additionally, the graphite support rods ensure a rigid neck. A very chic feature are the pearloid block inlay position markers.

Dual tone circuit

The distinctive gnarl of the J-Bass pickup, the punch of the P-bass pickup or a combination of both are essentially enough to create a wide range of big bass guitar sounds. However, the Fender American Standard Jaguar Bass is equipped with a secret weapon: a slider switch on the top horn allows you to alternate between two different tone circuits. Set it to the lower position and the volume potentiometer becomes a passive tone control. In the top position, you can use the two horizontal disc knobs as active boost/cut for bass and treble.
