Fretless basses have a sound all their own. The same can be said about Jazz Basses. Put the two together and you get something incredible: the Fender Player Fretless Jazz Bass. A traditional Jazz Bass with a new “Modern C”-shape neck with 9.5”-radius fingerboard and fret markings, this is a high-performance workhorse to make Jaco proud.
Founded by Leo Fender in 1938 as Fender’s Radio Service, what is now the Fender Musical Instruments Corporation began making electric guitars and amplifiers in 1945. The rest, as they say, is history. Creator of the world’s first mass-produced, and by far most popular, solid-bodied electric, Fender is now the world’s leading guitar manufacturer. Replacing the now-discontinued Standard series, the Fender Player Series honors the core Fender classics with quality construction, vintage-inspired finishes, select modern updates, and friendly price points that appeal to a range of aspiring and experienced players.
