Fender American Professional Fretless Jazz Bass, Black, Rosewood Board – 0194100706

Music Store Live is proud to present this Fender American Pro Jazz Bass Fretless! There’s a reason this is one of the most popular basses ever made. Whether you’re chasing that Jaco Pastorius bark or going for a big round juicy “mwah” sound by favoring the neck pickup, this is going to get it done for you in spades.

With unbeatable feel, superb tone and flawless playability, the American Pro Jazz Bass always delivers top shelf performance. The new V-mod pickups pump out a slightly higher output for better definition and clarity in the low-mids. This fretless model provides a unique feel, distinct tone and interesting melodic possibilities. Say good by to speed-bumps (aka frets) and slide your way into the groove. The factory setup on this J Bass is phenomenal and we’ve gone over it to double check. There’s no buzzing anywhere, the neck is straight, the action is low and the intonation is right on the money. This is perfect for the bass player who’s looking to go fretless and doesn’t want to sacrifice on tone or feel.

At Fender, we live and breathe electric instruments. We never rest—pushing craftsmanship to its limits, we design, test and endlessly experiment to create the best instruments on the planet. The Jazz Bass, a refinement of concepts first introduced in the Precision Bass, is the earliest example of this philosophy in action. Evolved for today’s musician, the American Professional Jazz Bass Fretless combines modern features and materials with Fender’s craftsmanship and expertise to produce a truly contemporary bass. V-Mod Jazz Bass pickups are modified versions of our classic vintage pickup designs. Packed with the fundamental Fender bass sound you know and love, these single-coil pickups crank out high-output tone with vintage warmth and the crisp, clear sound that made Fender a legend. All American Professional bass necks incorporate Posiflex graphite rods to reinforce against movement that can occur with fluctuations the environment. Embedded beneath the fingerboard, they improve reliability on the road, in the studio or in your home.
