Fender American Professional II Jazz Bass Fretless, Rosewood Fingerboard, Dark Night

PLAYER'S PERSPECTIVE

There's a reason the Jazz Bass is one of the most popular candidates for a fretless configuration ever made. Whether you're chasing that Jaco Pastorius bark or going for a big round juicy "mwah" sound by favoring the neck pickup, this is going to get it done for you in spades. This gorgeous American Professional II Fretless delivers!

With unbeatable feel, superb tone and flawless playability, the American Pro II Jazz Bass always delivers top shelf performance. The new V-Mod II pickups pump out a slightly higher output for better definition and clarity in the low-mids. This fretless model provides a unique feel, distinct tone and interesting melodic possibilities. Say good by to speed-bumps (aka frets) and slide your way into the groove. The factory setup on this J Bass is phenomenal and we've gone over it to double check. There's no buzzing anywhere, the neck is straight, the action is low and the intonation is right on the money. This is perfect for the bass player who's looking to go fretless and doesn't want to sacrifice on tone or feel.
