Fender American Performer Jazz Bass RW 3-Color Sunburst with classic offset design
Held in the traditional offset design that strikes an optimal balance on both the thigh and the guitar strap, the Fender American Performer Jazz Bass RW 3-Color Sunburst first sees the light of day in Corona, California. Fender uses an alder body and a bolt-on maple neck that offers optimal playability thanks to its slim "Modern C" profile with 38 mm nut width and 9.5" fretboard radius.
Fender Yosemite Single Coils with Greasebucket Tone Circuit
The Fender American Performer Jazz Bass RW 3-Color Sunburst features two Fender Yosemite single-coil pickups that were specially developed for this model. With coil bodies impregnated with shellac to prevent feedback and flat pole pieces, they deliver a dynamically responsive sound that lays down the groove for almost any style of music thanks to their all-round characteristics. Furthermore, a special feature is the passive Greasebucket Tone Circuit at the treble control. By simultaneously reducing treble and bass, the sophisticated circuit enables smooth treble roll-offs without unwanted booming.
Traditional hardware equipment
Extremely reliable hardware in traditional vintage style completes the Fender American Performer Jazz Bass RW 3-Color Sunburst. Accordingly, the tried and tested Fender 4-saddle bass bridge with steel string saddles is used on the body, guaranteeing optimum adjustment of intonation and string action. Furthermore, Fender "F" Lightweight tuners on the headstock not only ensure precise tuning, but also reduce unwanted head heaviness due to their low weight.
