Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
In Mercury, this right-handed four-string American Professional II Jazz Bass pairs a rosewood fingerboard with an alder body and maple neck. Two V-Mod II single-coil pickups provide the Jazz Bass pickup pairing described here: more low end and less midrange at the neck, more midrange and less low end at the bridge. Individual volumes and a master tone make those pickup settings accessible from the instrument. The slim C neck, satin finish, rolled edges, and sculpted heel are designed for a smooth feel and easier access beyond the 15th fret. String-through-body construction accompanies the HiMass Vintage bridge.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Balancing the two pickups for bass parts needing distinct neck and bridge frequency emphasis.
- Navigating parts above the 15th fret with the sculpted heel and 20-fret layout.
- Players wanting a right-handed, four-string Jazz Bass with a rosewood fingerboard.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Left-handed players; this bass is specified as right handed.
- Players who need a five-string instrument.
