Description
Fender American Deluxe Jazz Bass – Classic elegance meets high-end performance
The American Deluxe Jazz Bass delivers exactly what the Fender name has stood for since 1960 – only with even more comfort, more flexibility, and a completely hum-free sound. A hand-selected alder or ash body pairs with a modern C maple neck and a compound-radius fingerboard (9.5" → 14"). Whether you're in a studio session, funk jam, or rock tour, the N3 Noiseless pickups plus an 18-volt active preamp let you seamlessly transition from deep vintage growls to glassy slap attacks or powerful modern punch – no noise, no compromises.

Sound & Feel
-
Vintage Growl : In passive position, the bass delivers the warm, silky midrange charm of classic 70s jazz basses.
-
Modern Punch : Activate the 3-band EQ (±12 dB) and push the low-mids for rock-like low-end pressure or get crisp slap highs.
-
Noiseless : Thanks to N3 technology, your signal remains hum-free, even with studio gain settings and LED stage lights.
Player comfort
-
Compound radius = comfortable chording in depth → flat shreds on top.
-
HiMass™ Bridge = more sustain, more defined transients.
-
Weight-optimized mechanics = perfect balance feeling, no top-heaviness.
