Many bass players agree that Jazz Basses boast some of the best necks ever. And you’ll enjoy every bit of that to-die-for profile on your American Professional Jazz. It fits in your hand perfectly while being narrow enough to move up and down the fretboard easily. The neck’s satin finish gives the feeling of a well-worked vintage instrument, while its fretless design offers unbridled creative options and tones. And a set of Posiflex graphite rods is installed to keep the neck stable and straight, a very popular addition here at Sweetwater.
Jazz basses boast a 2-pickup setup, allowing you to get diverse tonal variation. The single-coils and the bass’s 3-knob setup have been responsible for a wide array of some of the most legendary bass tones in history. The American Professional Fretless Jazz Bass V sticks close to its heritage with a duet of V-Mod single-coil pickups. Designed by pickup guru Tim Shaw, these single-coils exhibit the warm and natural tones of older pickups, while delivering the clarity and dynamic range of some of today’s best designs.
Though the American Professional Fretless Jazz Bass looks and feels like a familiar friend, it’s loaded with features that enhance both playability and tone. One of the most notable is the HiMass vintage-style bridge. This bridge’s rigid construction works in concert with the bone nut to transfer more of the string’s energy to the body of the instrument, enhancing its sustain and articulation. And the American Professional Fretless Jazz Bass’s fluted tuner design ensures you have optimal break angle and tension on your string posts.
