The limited-edition 75th Anniversary Jazz Bass honors Leo Fender’s bold, revolutionary electric bass guitar. Built around a balanced-sounding alder body, this outstanding musical instrument is teeming with classic J Bass punch and growl, thanks to a set of Vintera ’60s single-coil pickups. Meanwhile, a satin-finished, American Professional-derived Modern “C”-shaped maple neck and a 9.5-inch-radius fingerboard deliver supreme comfort and playability. The Fender 75th Anniversary J Bass also brandishes rock-solid standard open-gear tuning machines, while a 4-saddle standard bridge ensures ultra-stable intonation. A light-catching gloss polyester finish and matching headstock yield head-turning looks. An exclusive engraved 75th anniversary neck plate rounds out this collectible, limited-edition J Bass.
Built for comfort and performance
One of the ingredients that made the original J Bass an instant hit with working bass players was its unique offset-waist body shape. Whether playing standing or seated, the classic Jazz Bass contoured body will make those marathon gigs and sessions much more comfortable. The 75th Anniversary Jazz Bass takes this comfortable playability to an even higher level with a smooth, satiny Modern “C”-shaped neck. Inspired by Fender’s American Professional Jazz Bass, this neck includes a narrow 1.5-inch synthetic bone nut, capped by a 9.5-inch-radius maple fingerboard and 20 medium-jumbo frets. The 75th Anniversary J Bass’s neck sits beautifully in the hands and features a touch-and-response dynamic that unlocks limitless potential for stylistic exploration.
Simple, effective electronics
Jazz basses boast a 2-pickup arrangement that delivers a broad range of tone. With single-coil pickups stationed in the bridge and middle positions and the instrument’s 3-pot setup, the J Bass has been the purveyor of some of the most legendary bass tones in modern music history. Culled from Fender’s Vintera ’60s model, the 75th Anniversary J Bass’s vintage-style ’60s Jazz Bass pickups serve up a huge tonal range from deep fundamentals to punchy midrange growl — and everything in between, depending on how you set the controls. Jazz, funk, blues, rock, fusion — and yes, even metal — the Fender 75th Anniversary Jazz Bass can cover it all.
