The successor to the popular Deluxe series looks like a 70s jazz bass: the maple fingerboard is bound in black, which perfectly matches the black block inlays and the black finish of the body. The profile of the neck is characterised by a high degree of playability, the compound finish of the neck changes from a modern C-finish in the lower registers to a flat D in the higher registers, also the fretboard radius changes from 9.5 to 14 inches (241 mm - 356 mm). The Fender Noiseless Singecoils don't show any blues, the neck pickup gives you a fat and warm Prezi-like sound, while the bridge pickup sings in the best Jaco manner. The three-band tone control allows for smooth mixing of both pickups and helps to shape their signals in any direction. An 18-volt preamp is used for sufficient headroom.
The instrument is a coherent piece of Fender design in high quality made in the USA and comes in a high-quality hard shell case with TSA lock. Specifications
