Fender Made in Japan Hybrid II 2026 Collection Jazz Bass Guitar in Matte Inferno Red

The Fender Made in Japan Hybrid II 2026 Collection Jazz Bass is one of those instruments that immediately makes sense the moment you pick it up. Built with all the consistency and quality that MIJ fans rave about, this bass is a true meeting point between modern performance and classic J-Bass charm. It’s designed to suit any player and any style, whether you’re laying down solid grooves, digging in with a pick or slapping melodic lead lines.

Classic looks, contemporary feel

Starting with the Alder body and satin polyester finish, you get that unmistakable Jazz Bass silhouette with a smooth, understated vibe that feels great under the arm. The satin urethane Maple neck, carved into a comfy modern “C” profile, is undeniably slick. While the 9.5" radius Rosewood fingerboard strikes the perfect balance between old-school feel and modern playability. Add in narrow tall frets and a bone nut, and you’ve got a bass that’s fast, stable and ready for long sessions.

Rock-solid hardware

Fender’s nailed the details here. The 4-saddle vintage-style bridge and matching tuners deliver classic aesthetics, while the black nickel finish gives the Hybrid II Jazz Bass a subtly contemporary edge. The aluminium-style acrylic pickguard is a really classy touch too — just enough visual flair without shouting about it. And everything feels durable and exactly what you’d expect from a Japanese-made Fender bass.

Punchy, versatile J-Bass tone

At the heart of this bass is a pair of custom-voiced Hybrid II single-coil pickups, and they really are the business. You’ll get that signature Jazz Bass bite with plenty of warmth and definition on tap. And the dual volume controls and master tone let you blend effortlessly between growl, thump and sparkle. Throw in a gig bag, and this bass is ready to go straight out of the box!
