JAZZ BASS YOSEMITE PICKUPS
Introducing the first specially-created alnico pickups ever offered on a Jazz Bass at this price point. Designed as a set with each calibrated for its respective position, these pickups feature Formvar-coated wire for classic Jazz Bass® tones and open, expressive highs. Flat-staggered alnico 5 magnets add presence, bass and output, producing a slightly updated take on the powerful, rumbling, growling sound of the Jazz Bass.
ALL-NEW YOSEMITE™ PICKUPS
Our all-new Yosemite pickups work hard to deliver the sound you need for the performance you want. Custom-voiced for each instrument in the series, these unique alnico pickups offer tones as dynamic and expressive as the musician playing them.
GREASEBUCKET™ TONE CIRCUIT
One of several key features designed to add tonal variety with a quick flick of the wrist, this agile tone system lets you cut treble without losing gain or muddying your sound.
SATIN FINISHES
The American Performer Series features updated finishes, including satin versions of classics like Sonic Blue and Surf Green, and new colors Penny and Aubergine.
