The fretless Fender American Jazz Bass approaches Custom Shop quality with its premium ash or alder body, slim graphite-reinforced neck with rolled edges, highly detailed fret and nut work, and U.S. Jazz Bass pickups. The 9-1/2"-radius rosewood fingerboard is inlaid with 20 white fretline markers. Also features an S-1 switch that changes the pickups from parallel to series when engaged, creating a fatter, wider, almost humbucking tone similar to that of a Precision Bass. The American Jazz Bass has a comfortable 34" scale and 1-1/2" nut width.
