Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Fender's American Professional II Jazz Bass is a right-handed, four-string solidbody built around an alder body, maple fingerboard, and a 34-inch bolt-on maple C neck. Its two V-Mod II single-coil pickups combine vintage-inspired character with clearer note definition and articulation: the neck pickup is described as warm and round, while the bridge pickup brings a bright, articulate growl. Rolled fingerboard edges, 20 narrow-tall frets, a 9.5-inch radius, and the sculpted heel support movement across the fretboard, including upper-register work. A hardshell case is listed.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Walking basslines and solo passages using the warm, round neck-pickup voice.
- Slap playing or punk-influenced parts that call for the bridge pickup's articulate growl.
- Players moving into the upper frets with access supported by the sculpted neck heel.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Left-handed bassists; this version is right handed.
- Players seeking more or fewer than four strings; this is a four-string bass.
