The American Deluxe Jazz Bass® guitar captures the spirit of Fender® innovation with its three-band active EQ, pair of Samarium Cobalt Noiseless™ Jazz Bass® pickups and 18-volt power supply. This select alder-body bass has a modern "C"-shaped, graphite-reinforced maple neck with a contoured heel (for easy access to upper frets), five-bolt neck plate, maple or rosewood rolled-edge fingerboard, abalone dot inlays and highly detailed nut and fret work. Other features include chrome hardware, a variety of pickguards (see specifications), deluxe chrome-plated steel bridge plate (string-through-body or top-load) with nickel-plated brass saddles, and Hipshot® Ultralite™ Bass tuning machines.
