The Fender American Professional Jazz Bass represents a modern take on the classic Jazz Bass formula from the American Professional era, a lineup that bridged vintage inspiration with contemporary reliability before being succeeded by the American Professional II series. This now-discontinued model carries that distinct first-generation American Professional identity, built for players who wanted traditional Fender character with updated consistency and feel. Finished in sleek Black with a maple fingerboard, it delivers a clean, stage-ready aesthetic that never goes out of style.

In the hands, the alder body and slim “C” maple neck offer a familiar, fast-playing feel that suits everything from intricate groove work to straight-ahead pocket playing. The satin neck finish keeps movement smooth and effortless, while the 9.5” radius and narrow tall frets give it a balanced blend of vintage comfort and modern precision. It’s a straightforward, performance-focused neck that feels immediately at home in a working bassist’s setup.

Tonally, the V-Mod single-coil Jazz Bass pickups deliver the articulate, dynamic voice the American Professional series is known for, with a blend of clarity, punch, and warmth that sits perfectly in a mix. Independent volume controls for each pickup allow for a wide range of tones, from tight, focused bridge growl to full, rounded neck warmth. Paired with the HiMass bridge for added sustain and stability, this bass captures the refined, gig-ready evolution of the classic Jazz Bass platform.
