V-Mod II Pickups

V-Mod II Jazz Bass pickups are voiced specifically for each position, slightly overwound for punch and presence, yet retaining vintage warmth and clarity.

New Sculpted Neck Heel

The rounded neck heel and beveled neck plate improve access to the upper register and make leads easy and comfortable.

HiMass Vintage Bridge

This precision-manufactured string-through or top load bridge adds sustained resonance and improves attack thanks to a cold-rolled steel baseplate, high-mass brass backstop, and chrome-plated brass saddles.

Slim C Neck with Rolled Edges

The slim C features a 9.5-inch fingerboard radius, hand-rolled fingerboard edges, and a Super-Natural satin finish for a supremely comfortable playing feel.

Alder or Roasted Pine

This guitar is available in either alder or roasted pine (in select colors). Alder is a classic Fender tonewood with a balanced sound perfect for almost any genre. Roasted pine is a lightweight wood known for its punchy and complex tone – upgraded with our roasting treatment, greatly improving resonance.

Posiflex Graphite Rods

All American Professional bass necks incorporate Posiflex graphite rods to reinforce against movement that can occur with fluctuations in the climate. Embedded beneath the fingerboard, they improve reliability on the road, in the studio, or your home.
