FENDER - American Pro Standard 2017

Serial number: US17054683

Production year: 2017 or 2018

Made in Corona, USA

The Fender American Professional Jazz Bass Guitar, Natural features a classic alder body coupled with a maple neck and fingerboard, offering incredibly bright characteristics with clear, full-bodied tones, a sparkling high end and thick, firm lows. Its two V-Mod jazz pickups use a carefully selected blend of alnico magnet types, creating an incredibly balanced sound saturated in authentic Fender sonic characteristics. The HiMass bridge enhances string sustain and offers the choice between a string-through body or topload setup. The redesigned tuners feature fluted shafts to create the optimum break angle over the nut, increasing sustain and enhancing turning stability. Also featuring a black pickguard, vintage style control knobs, and a natural finish, the American Professional Jazz Bass offers the best of a modern design and combines it with Fender's legendary craftsmanship and expertise.

A Classic Alder Body

The American Professional Jazz bass features a classic alder body, with comfortable contours that every player will love. Alder is the perfect choice for a guitar body as it produces a resonant and balanced tone with plenty of clarity. It is also lightweight enabling the bass guitar to be played all night long without strain on your shoulder. Fender have used alder as their tonewood of choice since the 1950s, as the balanced response and slight upper middle definition make it perfect for rock and blues playing.

Slim C Maple Neck & Fingerboard The bass’s maple neck delivers an incredibly comfortable and smooth feel with added tightness and cut to the guitar's tone, while its slim ''C'' profile offers an incredibly fast performance. The maple fingerboard enhances the neck’s bright characteristics, and provides a punchy sound when the strings are hit hard, offering excellent clarity with light to medium picking. The maple neck and fingerboard provides the bass with sizzling highs, firm lows, and a snappy attack in the midrange.

HiMass Bridge

As well as offering a wide variety of superb tones, the American Professional Jazz Bass also features a Fender HiMass bridge which improves every note’s sustain and resonance. The bridge’s design enhances the attack of the bass, creating a lively tone while offering either a string though or top loaded set-up. Narrow Tall Frets Another edition to the American Professional series are narrow tall frets, which are mounted on the maple fingerboard and provide incredible comfort when performing slides. Being slightly narrower than standard medium jumbo frets, the narrow tall frets are incredible effective for bending notes and playing chords with superb intonation.

V-Mod Pickups

The Jazz bass is fitted with a set of Fender’s V-Mod single coil pickups, which are a modified version of their vintage design pickups. Designed with a carefully selected blend of alnico magnet types, these pickups offer a high-output tone with vintage warmth. This setup provides the bass with an incredibly balanced tone saturated with authentic Fender sonic properties. Graphite Support Rods Posiflex graphite support rods run the length of the bass’s neck, adding stability while reducing the amount of warping that may occur from temperature fluctuations and humidity. This is a particular advantage to players who travel, ensuring the instrument is always ready to play at a moment’s notice. Bone Nut As well as offering the perfect tone and looks, the American Professional features a bone nut, adding to the classic aesthetics of the bass. The main benefit of a bone nut compared to modern materials is excellent resonance and sustain. A bone nut also delivers a very balanced tone, and will last a long time. In addition, this type of nut naturally self-lubricates and helps the bass stay in tune for longer. Elite Moulded Case The American Professional instruments are delivered in an elite moulded case, featuring body-hugging contours which hold the guitar firmly in place. TSA latches are also included for enhanced security and easy access. This durable case is also stackable for easy storage and transport.
