Fender American Special Jazz Bass in Candy Apple Red, USED

The Fender American Special Jazz Bass in Candy Apple Red is a blend of classic Jazz Bass aesthetics with features that enhance its playability and tone. Its sleek alder body is both lightweight and resonant, finished in a stunning, high-gloss Candy Apple Red that reflects the American Special series’ appeal. The signature Jazz Bass body shape and ergonomic contours make it comfortable to play, while its eye-catching colour captures attention on any stage.

This model is powered by two Fender Custom Shop '60s single-coil Jazz Bass pickups, delivering that classic, growling Jazz Bass tone that cuts through any mix. Known for their versatility, these pickups offer a deep, articulate low-end and bright, punchy mids. Whether for jazz, rock, funk, or pop, this American Special’s tonal range fits effortlessly into any genre. The Greasebucket tone circuit is a standout feature, allowing players to roll off high frequencies without muddying the low end—ideal for achieving a balanced, warm tone.

The maple neck has a “Slim C” profile that’s smooth and comfortable, catering to various playing styles. The fingerboard radius is 9.5", providing a familiar, contemporary feel, while medium-jumbo frets make it easy to navigate complex bass lines and melodic runs. The neck’s satin finish prevents stickiness, ensuring comfort during extended play.

With vintage-style tuners and a high-mass bridge, the American Special Jazz Bass maintains tuning stability and sustain, even during demanding performances. Altogether, this bass is an excellent choice for those seeking classic Fender sound and visuals with the modern enhancements that make it adaptable to contemporary playing styles.
