The Fender DLX Active Jazz Bass Guitar MN 3-Tone Sunburst is a 4-string bass guitar, featuring an alder body, a maple neck, a maple fretboard, and a 3-tone sunburst. Elegant and packed with versatile tones, the Deluxe Active Jazz Bass is ideal for bassists who need a flexible tone machine that looks great on stage. Powered by a pair of growling Vintage Noiseless Jazz Bass bridge pickups, this instrument’s bright, full sound easily cuts through a mix, ensuring the bass is heard clearly while retaining punch and low end authority.
Active/passive switching makes it easy to access both vintage-styled and modern voices, further extending this instrument’s sonic flexibility. The robust control scheme includes a three-band active EQ with treble, mid and bass controls—each with boost and cut to accurately shape your tone—along with a pan pot for precision blending of the pickups’ potent sound. The four-saddle Fender HiMass bridge improves every note’s sustain and resonance, while enhancing the attack for lively tone that lets your sonic personality shine through.
The “C”-shaped maple neck is comfortable for all playing styles and hosts a 1.5” synthetic bone nut and fast-playing 12”-radius fingerboard with 20 medium jumbo frets for a familiar playing feel. The alder body bears a durable gloss polyester finish. Classic Jazz Bass appointments include vintage-style black plastic Jazz Bass control knobs, nickel/chrome hardware, black pickup covers, pearloid dot inlays and a 3-ply B/W/B pickguard. Includes deluxe gig bag.

Great service from dv247 and great price. Played bass for about 35 years and have played Ibanez, Rickenbacker, Manson, Musicman and Maruszczyk. Despite these playing experiences, as a practical instrument, the fender Jazz was hard to beat. Looked at the more expensive American version but after research, went for the Mexican. Reason, the American version has a C to D profile neck, where as the Mexican as the thinner C profile which I prefer. Playability is great, a little too easy and there is a temptation to over play. The 18v active is an immense eq. I play about 50 gigs a year in all settings and tend to set the amp to the room and then use the base to refine the tone depending on the song. The mid control is this basses secrete weapon and allows you to get any tone you want. I gave 4 stars for build, volume pot was a little tight and the bridge allen key was the wrong size(you need the smallest used on badass bridges). There are many basses to choose these days but if you want a bass that does the job, for the money this a great instrument. Finally, factory setup was good and I would highly recommend.
