The decades long standard for bass tone and playability.
The Fender American Jazz Bass approaches Custom Shop quality with its premium ash or alder body, slim graphite reinforced neck with rolled edges, highly detailed fret and nut work, and U.S. Jazz Bass pickups. It also features an S 1 switch that changes the pickups from parallel to series when engaged, creating a fatter, wider, almost humbucking tone similar to that of a Precision bass. 9 1/2" radius fingerboard, 34" scale, and 1 1/2" nut width.
