(ARCHIVE) Fender American Performer Jazz Bass Sunburst 2021
- Description
- Guitarchives
Fender American Performer Jazzy, sunburst, made in USA 2021. The American Performer series replaced the previous Am Special and Highway One as the entry to Fender's USA-made offerings. It's not fancy, but it feels and sounds good. The neck is a slim modern C shape, finished in super slick satin; it's very agreeable. At a whisker over 4kg, it's a pretty lightweight example, so it'd be a handy tool for a working player. The tone sits comfortably in the JB-genre: snappy, round and immediate with a tuneful fundamental note. The sunburst finish hasn't gone out of style in the last seven decades, so you should be pretty safe there. Note: can confirm this is safe for Australian Performers also.
