Fender Jaguar Bass (3 Colour Sunburst)
The Jaguar Bass has added a new level of cool to the world of electric bass since its introduction in 2006. Based on the design of the Jaguar guitar, the goal is tonal control. The ability to switch pickups on and off, from series to parallel and active to passive provides a wide tonal palette that works for both the set-and-forget player and the eternal-tone-adjustor.
New classic color additions for 2011 are Three-color Sunburst, Candy Apple Red and Cobalt Blue Metallic versions. The thin, fast one-piece C-shaped maple neck (matching headstock on Hot Rod Red model) has a warm tint with a rosewood fingerboard, complete with aged white pearloid block position markers. Its distinct roar comes from two Jazz Bass pickups which can be fine-tuned with the wide array of electronics options. So incredibly cool-we should’ve thought of this years ago!
Here's what Fender say about the Fender Jaguar Bass
Fans of Vintage Styling with a unique twist. Edgy bassists looking for versatility, but also to stand out from the crowd. The Jaguar Bass is an eye-catching, feature laden passive / active bass built off of one of Fender's historic guitar platforms. Switchable passive and active circuitry, and series parallel switching for a wide array of tones. Distinct and unique, but distinctly Fender. A rock bass to be slung low and played with a pick.
