ALDER BODY
A classic Fender® tonewood known for resonance, punch and clarity. Alder has a balanced and lively tone with beefy mids and a robust low-end.
FADED CLASSIC AND SIGNATURE FENDER® FINISHES
Each instrument is available in signature Fender colors and faded classic finishes that recreate the well-loved patina of vintage basses.
COASTLINE™ ’62 JAZZ BASS® PICKUPS
Based on Fender’s Pure Vintage designs, Coastline ’62 Jazz Bass® pickups are slightly overwound to deliver enhanced Fender warmth, focus and punch.
MODERN "C"-SHAPED NECK WITH 9.5" RADIUS FINGERBOARD AND MEDIUM JUMBO FRETS
The Modern "C"-shaped neck delivers a comfortable playing experience with its smooth, ergonomic profile. The 9.5”-radius fingerboard with medium jumbo frets provides fast fretting and easy playability.
VINTAGE STYLE HARDWARE
Pure in form and function, the vintage-style 4-barrel steel saddle bridge provides classic playability and feel, complemented by period-correct "lollipop" tuners for authentic style and reliable tuning stability.
GREASEBUCKET™ TONE SYSTEM
The uniquely engineered Greasebucket™ Tone System shapes high frequencies without muddying the low end or compromising your fundamental tone, preserving the bass's carefully crafted voice. Unlike traditional tone controls, this sophisticated circuit maintains punch and definition even when rolled back.

At Easy Music Center, we care for our instruments from the moment they arrive to when they ship to your door. All instruments are stored in a climate controlled environment and put through a 12-point inspection checklist before being shipped.
First, we check the finish of the instrument, carefully inspecting any blemishes on the surface. Next, we check the playability and setup by inspecting and adjusting the truss rod (if available), bridge, nut, and frets to manufacturer factory specifications. Any request made outside of manufacturer factory specifications can incur additional charges for parts and labor. If the instrument has electronics, we test all of the electronic components to make sure they are functioning properly.
After a thorough inspection, we then move on to maintenance. We start by lubricating any moving parts on the instrument, such as tuning machines. We then move on to cleaning and oiling the fretboard along with the frets.
Once maintenance is done, we stretch and tune the strings and play test the instrument. After this, we do a final inspection and clean/detail the instrument before packing it up for shipment.
We’re excited to be a part of your instrument buying experience.
