The Fender American Professional II Fretless Jazz Bass is the latest evolution of an iconic instrument that shaped popular music. Fender has refined and reimagined every detail of this legendary bass to meet the demands of today's working musician. The American Professional II Fretless Jazz Bass delivers instant familiarity and unprecedented sonic versatility in a flawlessly crafted package.

V-Mod II Pickups Provide Modern Tone with Vintage Vibe

The American Professional II Fretless Jazz Bass is equipped with Fender's V-Mod II Jazz Bass single-coil pickups, which provide clear, articulate tone with punchy midrange and airy highs. These pickups capture the essence of the classic Jazz Bass sound while enabling a wider range of tones. Roll back the tone knob for a warm, vintage-inspired sound or open it up for crisp, modern clarity.

Sculpted Neck Heel and Rolled Fingerboard Offer Fluid Playing Feel

Fender has refined every contour and curve of the American Professional II Fretless Jazz Bass to maximize playing comfort. The sculpted neck heel provides unencumbered access to the upper frets, while the rolled fingerboard edges create an ultra-smooth surface along the length of the 20-fret maple neck. Combined with the satin-smooth finish, these ergonomic touches make the American Professional II Fretless Jazz Bass an exceptionally fluid playing experience.

Alder Body and HiMass Bridge Provide Solid Foundation

The American Professional II Fretless Jazz Bass gets its resonant, balanced tone from a lightweight alder body. The HiMass vintage-style bridge increases sustain and articulation while keeping the strings securely anchored during aggressive playing. Adjustable saddles provide precise intonation for chords and melodic lines along the length of the fretless fingerboard.

Premium Appointments and Road-Ready Durability

Fender brought the same obsessive attention to detail found in their Custom Shop instruments to every facet of the American Professional II Fretless Jazz Bass. Premium appointments include vintage style Jazz Bass control knobs, bone nut, and Fender "F"-stamped neck plate.
