Fender American Performer Precision Bass, 3-Color Sunburst

The Fender American Performer Jazz Bass® is crafted in Corona, California, and delivers the authentic Fender tone and feel with modern enhancements. Designed for players who want professional quality at a more accessible price point, it combines classic Jazz Bass versatility with updated features like Yosemite single‑coil pickups and the Greasebucket™ tone circuit. This ensures you can roll off highs without adding unwanted bass, keeping your sound tight and defined. With its alder body and satin urethane finish, the American Performer Jazz Bass offers both resonance and comfort, making it a reliable choice for stage and studio.

The Modern “C” maple neck with a 9.5”‑radius fingerboard and 20 medium jumbo frets provides smooth playability across the entire register. Fender’s lightweight vintage‑style tuners with tapered shafts improve tuning stability while reducing headstock weight. A 4‑saddle vintage‑style bridge with steel saddles ensures accurate intonation and sustain. With independent volume controls for each pickup and a master tone knob, players can dial in everything from warm, rounded lows to bright, cutting highs. The American Performer Jazz Bass embodies Fender’s tradition of craftsmanship while offering modern refinements that make it a versatile workhorse for any bassist.
