A traditional Jazz Bass uses two single-coil pickups with individual volume controls, giving you more scope to blend pickup positions.

Its straightforward split-coil pickup and passive controls make it easy to achieve a strong core bass sound before using your amplifier, DI, preamp or recording software for further shaping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the neck profile?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis model uses a \u003cstrong\u003eModified 1963 \"C\" maple neck profile\u003c\/strong\u003e with rolled fingerboard edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the nut width?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bone nut measures \u003cstrong\u003e1.625\" \/ 41.3 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e wide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this a standard long-scale bass?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.

Precision Basses work extremely well with both techniques.

A setup is recommended when moving significantly away from the factory .045-.105 string gauges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes a maple fingerboard require the same conditioning as rosewood?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The maple fingerboard is finished and should not be treated with the same fingerboard oils typically used on unfinished rosewood.
