Delivering that renowned Precision sound is the hand-wound '65-'70 Precision Bass pickup. Exude excellence across the whole frequency range, from punchy, beefy lows to gloriously clear highs - you will have stunning vintage qualities woven into everything you play. Such a well-balanced tone lends itself to exceptional versatility whilst a split single-coil design ensures your riffs blaze through the mix with dynamics and definition. A vintage-style bridge with threaded steel saddles and '66-style 'lollipop' tuners then promise polished, immaculate tuning whilst also providing even more '60s authenticity.
Complementing the vintage Precision pickup and wiring is a bass construction that offers a superior playing experience. Crafted from quartersawn maple, the Jazz Bass neck showcases a 1960-style "U" profile that begs the fast, fearless skill of a passionate bassist. It is sure to sit comfortably in your hand as you slide from fret to fret effortlessly. On top lies a ravishing rosewood fretboard with a round laminated finish. Your fingertips will feel as though they're floating on air which is perfect for practising those complex riffs and tricky techniques. The Jazz Bass streamlined design and playability is embellished with white pearl block inlays and white nitrocellulose binding for a dazzling, elegant, and classic aesthetic.
The combination of a maple neck and rosewood fretboard delivers a beautiful tone that is rich in clarity, the type of clarity that separates the notes of even the most complex of chords. This is ideal for gigging with because you won't be hindered by that dreaded muddy sound. Maple's tone is bright, loud, and focused, whilst rosewood evens out any harsh frequencies and brings an undercurrent of resonance, meaning you will have a brilliantly balanced sound which is further enhanced by an amazing alder body. Alder produces a pronounced upper midrange and more wondrous articulation that thrives with blues and rock styles. But it is also versatile enough for other styles too thanks to its balanced and full-bodied sonic capabilities.
Keep your guitar protected wherever you go. The hardshell case will absorb any knocks and scrapes on the road, ensuring your instrument is kept in immaculate condition. Even better, a strap is included to ensure you can play anytime, anywhere. And a certificate of authenticity is evidence for the prestige you will be in the presence of.
