Single Gold Foil mini-humbucker
The bass uses one pickup, keeping its electronics and control approach straightforward.

Independent shopping perspective
Fender’s Gold Foil Jazz Bass is a right-handed, four-string solidbody built around an alder body and a single Gold Foil mini-humbucker. Its control layout stays simple—master volume and master tone—so adjustment remains direct while playing. The bound ebony fingerboard, 20 medium-jumbo frets, painted headcap, and vintage-style tuning machines give it a deliberately distinctive visual identity, with a sunburst finish and a gig bag for transport.
