The Made in Japan Junior Collection Jazz Bass® breaks new ground as the perfect stepping stone for aspiring bassists, combining Fender’s iconic design with thoughtful modifications that make learning more accessible. This innovative instrument features a 30-inch scale that significantly reduces finger strain and makes chord formations more manageable for developing players.
The compact body has been scaled down to approximately 94% of the standard size, incorporating a new cavity design that substantially reduces weight without compromising tone. This thoughtful engineering approach results in enhanced playability that will benefit both young musicians and entry-level players who might otherwise struggle with a full-sized instrument.
At the heart of this bass lies the newly designed Junior Collection Modified Single Coil Jazz Bass® pickups, which retain the characteristic mellow and undulating tones that have made the Jazz Bass® legendary. The instrument is completed with vintage-type tuners and a vintage-style 4-saddle bridge, ensuring reliable tuning stability during practice sessions and performances.
