All The Classic J-Bass Growl With Today’s Playability
If you love that classic Jazz Bass punch but want modern reliability and feel, this American Professional Classic Jazz Bass hits the mark. It brings vintage vibe, Coastline ’62 tone, and a fast Modern C neck together in a workhorse you can trust from the first downbeat.
Coastline ’62 Pickups – Vintage Soul, Modern Clarity
The Coastline ’62 single-coil Jazz Bass pickups are the heart of this bass. They deliver that familiar J-bass recipe: tight low end, chewy low mids, and enough top-end glass to cut without getting harsh.
Solo the bridge pickup for grind and bite that slices through dense mixes. Roll to the neck for round, buttery lines that still keep their definition. Blend both and you get that classic J-bass scoop that sits perfectly in the track without fighting vocals or guitars.
Greasebucket Tone Circuit – Lose Highs, Not Definition
Fender’s Greasebucket tone circuit is one of those little upgrades that makes a big difference when you actually start playing shows and sessions. Roll the tone back and it shaves off the glass without dumping a bunch of mud into your sound.
That means you can tame a bright room or aggressive amp without losing the fundamental note and punch. It is especially killer for fingerstyle R&B lines and warm, supportive worship tones where you still want clarity on every note.
Modern C Maple Neck – Fast, Familiar, And Non-Sticky
The Modern C profile on this maple neck hits that sweet spot between vintage chunk and sleek modern carve. It fills your hand just enough to feel solid, but it never gets in the way of fast lines, chords up the neck, or long sets.
The satin urethane finish on the back keeps things feeling smooth and broken in, not glossy or sticky under stage lights. A 9.5 inch radius maple fingerboard with 20 medium jumbo frets gives you effortless bends and clean low action without fretting out.
Faded Dakota Red – Classic Fender Attitude
Faded Dakota Red with a 4-ply tortoiseshell guard just screams “Fender” in the best way. It has that slightly worn-in, custom-faded look that feels more like a seasoned player’s bass than something straight off a production line.
Nickel/chrome hardware, black pickup covers, and vintage-style black Jazz Bass knobs tie the whole vibe together. It looks right under stage lights and in the studio, without being another boring black bass in the rack.
Rock-Solid Hardware, Stage-Ready Reliability
A 4-saddle vintage-style bridge with steel saddles keeps the attack focused and the sustain singing. Vintage-style “lollipop” tuners lock in tuning while giving you that cool throwback look on the headstock.
From the vintage-style strap buttons to the disc string tree, everything is built to survive real gigging. This bass is made in the USA, and it feels every bit like a pro tool, not a toy.
Dialed In By Players, Not Just Pulled From A Box
This specific bass (serial number US25095722) weighs in at 9.4 lbs, which gives you solid low-end thump and sustain without feeling like a boat anchor. Photos on the site are of the actual bass you’ll receive, not stock images.
When it hits our Evansville shop, it gets a full inspection. Before we ship, it gets another detailed check plus a free pro setup tailored to your preferred tuning and string gauge. Real talk: you should have zero disappointments when you crack the case and hit that first note.
