product description
Fender's versatile American Jazz Bass guitar features the innovative S-1 switching system, which gives you great Jazz Bass and Precsion Bass guitar tones from one instrument.
Pushing the S-1 switch reconfigures the pickup wiring from parallel to series, resulting in a fatter, almost humbucking sound similar to that of a Precision. Other features include a solid Alder or Ash body (depending on color) and a graphite-reinforced, modern C-shaped Maple neck with a satin polyurethane finish and Maple fingerboard.
