General
Before now, the choice for an American Standard bass guitar was limited to a Jazz Bass or a Precision Bass. Fender now offers us a third option: the Fender American Standard Jaguar Bass. This is a four-string electric bass guitar that was born in America and features a highly versatile Precision/Jazz pickup configuration and the characteristic Jaguar dual tone circuit. It is available in several colours, including this classic 3-colour Sunburst version. Includes a case.
Features of the Fender American Standard Jaguar Bass
Only the very best materials and components were used to make this 'Made in the USA' bass guitar. For instance, it features a solid alder body and a sturdy maple neck with a 20-fret rosewood fretboard. The neck has been internally strengthened with graphite support rods and the fretboard is beautifully decorated with pearloid block inlays. To prevent the neck from diving, lightweight Fender/HipShot machine heads were fitted. The extra solid High Mass Vintage bridge offers both strings-through-body and topload stringing.
Dual tone circuit
The distinctive gnarl of the J-Bass pickup, the punch of the P-bass pickup or a combination of both are essentially enough to create a wide range of big bass guitar sounds. However, the Fender American Standard Jaguar Bass is equipped with a secret weapon: a slider switch on the top horn allows you to alternate between two different tone circuits. Set it to the lower position and the volume potentiometer becomes a passive tone control. In the top position, you can use the two horizontal disc knobs as active boost/cut for bass and treble.
