The Fender American Elite Jazz Bass takes the familiar J Bass design and adds some thoughtful modern upgrades. With its 3-Color Sunburst finish, rosewood fingerboard, and classic offset body, it looks every bit the part. Under the hood, you've got a pair of 4th Generation Noiseless pickups and an 18V active preamp, giving you plenty of tonal range while keeping that unmistakable Jazz Bass character.
A great playing feel. The maple neck features a Modern C-to-D compound profile, paired with a 9.5"-14" compound-radius rosewood fingerboard. Posiflex graphite support rods add neck stability, and the satin finish keeps things smooth and comfortable.
Plenty of control over your sound. The Noiseless pickups deliver classic J Bass punch and growl without the hum, while the active 3-band EQ lets you fine-tune your tone. There's also an active/passive switch for a more traditional setup when you want it. The HiMass Vintage bridge rounds things out with top-load and string-through-body options.
Used, in very good condition. Shows minor signs of previous use, including some dings and scratches on the back and pickguard. A few cosmetic reminders that it's been played, but nothing that takes away from what this American Elite has to offer.
