Product Description

The Icon, Evolved

Some basses just feel right. The Fender Jazz Bass is one of them, and this American Professional II takes that legendary platform and dials it in for the modern player. Finished in a stunning Faded Dakota Red, this bass has the look and feel of a well-loved classic, but with the stability and sonic flexibility today’s working musicians demand. It’s the real deal, a pro-level tool built for the stage and studio. From the moment you pick it up, it feels familiar yet refined, ready to lay down the foundation for any track.

Modern Feel, Classic Punch

Fender nailed the neck on this one. The Slim “C” profile with its satin finish feels fast and effortless, almost like bare wood. Combined with the rolled fingerboard edges, it’s incredibly comfortable for long gigs. Under the hood, a pair of V-Mod II single-coil pickups deliver that iconic J-Bass tone, all punch, clarity, and midrange growl. These pickups are more articulate than ever, capturing every nuance of your playing while still providing the foundational thump the Jazz Bass is famous for.

Rock-Solid Performance

This bass isn’t just about feel and tone; it’s built to be a reliable workhorse. The HiMass Vintage bridge enhances sustain and resonance, giving each note a solid, blooming quality. Posiflex graphite rods reinforce the maple neck, ensuring it stays straight and true no matter the climate or how hard you play. It’s these thoughtful, player-centric details that make the American Professional II a true gig-and-session machine.

We get it. Buying a guitar you haven’t played is a big decision. You need to know it’s going to feel right, sound right, and inspire you the second you open the case. We put together the questions we’d be asking if we were in your shoes—the real-world stuff that specs alone can’t answer. If there’s anything else you’re wondering about, just give us a call.

They’re designed to give you that classic, beloved Jazz Bass punch and clarity, but with a bit more articulation and sonic range. You get all the vintage vibe without the vintage limitations, they’re clear, powerful, and capture all the nuance in your playing.
It makes a huge difference. That rounded heel gives you much more comfortable and easy access to the upper frets. It lets your hand sit in a more natural position, making those higher notes feel effortless to reach.
Of course. Every guitar gets our full Player-Perfect™ setup, but tell us your preferred string gauge and action at checkout, and we’ll dial it in exactly to your spec before it leaves the shop.
This guitar is covered by our 14-Day Return Policy. If you’re not completely inspired by it, just let us know. We’ll make it right.
Orders ship same day in most cases and arrive within 1-4 business days with free, insured shipping. We’ll get it into your hands as quickly as we can.
Call us at (888) 794-8482. You’ll talk to a real musician who can answer anything you need to know.
