A push-push control splits the humbucker, while the updated 250k\/500k control arrangement optimises loading for single-coil and humbucking operation.

Selected ash-body options are part of the new range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe guitar Deep “C” profile and rolled fingerboard edges are familiar features carried forward from American Professional II.

The Jazz Bass format is particularly popular with players who use slap, fingerstyle and pick techniques. Its dual-pickup arrangement lets you adjust the balance to find the definition and attack that works best for your technique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Jazz Bass neck compare with a Precision Bass?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJazz Bass necks traditionally use a narrower nut width than Precision Bass necks. This model has a 1.5\" nut width and Slim \"C\" profile, making it particularly appealing to players who favour a streamlined feel in the lower positions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this a good bass for studio recording?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The ability to blend the two pickups independently makes it easy to tailor the instrument's response to different arrangements, amplifiers and recording chains without needing complicated onboard processing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use active preamp or EQ pedals with this bass?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The passive output works well with conventional bass effects, external preamps, DI boxes and pedalboard systems, making it easy to add more extensive EQ or drive when required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill standard long-scale bass strings fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. This is a standard 34\" long-scale four-string bass. Choose strings specifically intended for an appropriate long-scale bass installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use heavier strings for lower tunings?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, but moving significantly away from the factory string gauge can affect neck relief, intonation and nut fit. A setup may therefore be advisable when changing to substantially heavier strings or lower tunings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes a rosewood fingerboard need any special care?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRosewood fingerboards can benefit from occasional cleaning and appropriate fingerboard conditioning when required.

This Precision Bass has a single split-coil pickup with Master Volume and Master Tone controls. A traditional Jazz Bass uses two single-coil pickups with independent volume controls, allowing you to blend the pickups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the American Professional Precision Bass suitable for recording?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The straightforward split-coil pickup design gives you a strong core bass sound that is easy to work with in a recording chain, while the tone control provides quick adjustment of the instrument's high-frequency character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow wide is the neck at the nut?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe nut width is \u003cstrong\u003e1.625\" \/ 41.3 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the neck particularly vintage feeling?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt uses a \u003cstrong\u003eModified 1963 \"C\" profile\u003c\/strong\u003e, but the 9.5\" radius, Narrow Tall frets and rolled fingerboard edges bring modern playing refinements to the design rather than making it a strict vintage reproduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use both fingerstyle and a pick?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The Precision Bass is well suited to fingerstyle and pick playing, and the simple electronics make it easy to adjust the amount of high-frequency attack using the master tone control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it suitable for slap bass?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. A Precision Bass can certainly be used for slap playing. Players wanting more pickup-blending options may also want to compare it with a Jazz Bass, but there is nothing about this model that restricts slap technique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I fit heavier strings for lower tunings?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, but substantial changes in string gauge or tuning can alter neck relief, intonation and nut fit. A professional setup is recommended if you make a significant change from the factory .045-.105 string set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the bridge be top-loaded?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.

The Jaguar's 24\" scale is shorter, so the strings feel softer and the fret spacing is slightly more compact. Its electronics and tremolo system also offer a different approach to shaping and manipulating the sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the shorter scale only useful for players with smaller hands?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The reduced reach can certainly help some players, but many experienced guitarists choose a Jaguar simply because they prefer the softer tension and more responsive feel of a 24\" scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I get a thicker sound from the Jaguar pickups?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Engaging the rhythm circuit places both pickups in series, increasing output and producing a thicker response than the standard parallel two-pickup setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does tapping the bridge pickup achieve?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe push\/push tone control changes the bridge pickup to an alternative lower-output voice, giving you another useful variation without requiring additional external equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the Jaguar well suited to effects pedals?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVery much so. Its articulate single-coil character works particularly well with reverb, delay, modulation, fuzz and drive effects, which is one reason Jaguars are popular with ambient, indie, shoegaze and experimental players.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use heavier strings?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, but a significant increase from the factory .010-.046 gauge can affect neck relief, intonation and nut fit. A setup is advisable after substantial changes in string gauge or tuning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the Panorama tremolo only for subtle vibrato?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. It can be used for gentle shimmer as well as deeper pitch movement, giving players a broader expressive range than a tremolo used solely for occasional chord vibrato.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow should I care for the rosewood fingerboard?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClean it carefully during string changes and use an appropriate fingerboard conditioner only when needed. Avoid excessive oiling, as rosewood does not require frequent heavy treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this suitable for professional recording and gigging?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The combination of multiple pickup configurations, modern neck specification, expressive tremolo and included hard case makes it particularly well suited to musicians who need the Jaguar's distinctive character in regular live and studio situations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fender","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57297651171708,"sku":"0111720700","price":1899.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0441\/6457\/9484\/files\/0111720700_fen_ins_frt_1_rr_520fff1c-b052-4341-846b-270f4c37a4a1.png?v=1786887286"},{"product_id":"fender-american-professional-stratocaster-3-color-sunburst-rosewood","title":"Fender American Professional Stratocaster®, Rosewood Fingerboard, 3-Color Sunburst","description":"\u003ch2\u003eQuick Product Summary\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eFender American Professional Stratocaster® in 3-Color Sunburst with Rosewood Fingerboard\u003c\/strong\u003e takes the familiar versatility and playing feel of the Stratocaster and develops it around the requirements of today's serious working guitarist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree \u003cstrong\u003eV-Mod III Single-Coil Strat® pickups\u003c\/strong\u003e provide the classic SSS foundation, while a push-push tone control adds the neck pickup for additional combinations beyond the standard five-way selector.
