The Fender American Elite Jazz Bass EB Satin Jade Pearl Metallic is a modern interpretation of the legendary classic from 1960. Based on the proven construction, the bass produced in the USA features many modern details that accommodate today's bassist. The neck with innovative compound shaping, two noiseless single coils of the 4th generation and active 3-band electronics belong to the equipment of the American Elite Jazz Bass.
With an alder body and the screwed maple neck with ebony fingerboard, the Fender American Elite Jazz Bass uses Fender the proven ingredients in its construction. At the same time, the compound shaping of the neck ensures incomparable playing comfort. The profile of the back side of the fingerboard changes smoothly from a stately "C" to a flat "D", while the radius of the fingerboard becomes flatter towards the higher registers, so that even complex grooves and lines can be heard easily. This is modern bass playing without any signs of fatigue!
Two Fender 4th Generation Noiseless Single Coils are used as pickups on the Fender American Elite Jazz Bass. These convince with their classic Vintage character, without the typical interfering noises of single winders. From transparent assertiveness at the bridge to the full low end thrust at the neck, a wide sound spectrum can be called up via the blend control, which can be further adjusted via the active 3-band electronics. The equalizer acts particularly musically, so that even with extreme settings, sounds with a strong character are offered. The mini-switch at the end of the Control Plate also allows the bass to be operated passively, so that classic sounds can also be produced without any problems.
Last but not least, the Fender American Elite Jazz Bass offers high-quality hardware equipment that combines classic style with modern functionality. Accordingly, the Fender HiMass Vintage bridge is used on the body, which contributes to the lively sound characteristics of the four-string instrument through its solid construction and the string guidance through the body. Fender Lightweight Vintage mechanics mounted behind a bone saddle on the headstock also promise precise and stable tuning.
