Singing Mwah Dynamics Meets Modern American Session Reliability
The Guitar Sanctuary is proud to present the Fender® American Professional II Jazz Bass® Fretless in 3-Color Sunburst with a Lined Rosewood Fingerboard. Building on over sixty years of innovation, inspiration, and evolution, the American Professional II series refines Fender’s flagship bass design to meet the demands of today’s working bassist and recording professional.
Finished in a timeless 3-Color Sunburst gloss lacquer over a hand-selected alder body, this fretless Jazz Bass combines classic golden-era offset styling with modern ergonomic refinements. The popular Slim "C" maple neck now features smooth rolled fingerboard edges, a "Super-Natural" satin back finish, and a newly sculpted neck heel that allows effortless access to the upper register. The lined rosewood fingerboard provides clear visual reference points for precise intonation without compromising expressive fretless slide techniques, vibrato, and vocal tone.
Sonic depth is driven by a calibrated pair of V-Mod II Single-Coil Jazz Bass® pickups. Re-voiced for enhanced clarity, these pickups deliver articulate growl, woody midrange thump, and crystalline top-end clarity while preserving the organic, vocal "mwah" quality that defines high-end fretless performance.
