Fender® American Series Jazz Bass®

American Series Jazz Bass®
The
groundbreaking S-1 switching system visually
undetectable but tonally it turns your instrument into
the most versatile axe on the planet! Located in the
crown of the master volume knob, one push of the switch
will place your pickups in an endless assemblage of
parallel and series pickup configurations. The
world’s best-selling bass just got better! With the
new S-1™ switching system, you can get great J Bass®
and P Bass® tones from one instrument. With the S-1
switch engaged, it switches the pickups from parallel to
series giving the bass a fatter, beefier, almost
humbucking sound similar to a P Bass guitar. They come
in some great new finishes and feature a solid alder or
ash body (depending on color) and a graphite-reinforced,
modern “C”-shaped maple neck with a satin
polyurethane finish (available with maple or rosewood
fingerboard).
