Fender American Deluxe Jazz Bass 2006 with Original Case and Paperwork- MINT

No sales tax for US customers outside California.

This 2006 Fender American Deluxe Jazz Bass is a premium, USA-made take on one of the most recorded and trusted bass designs in history, blending classic Jazz Bass feel with modern features and refinement. Built for working players who need reliability, comfort, and a wide tonal palette, the American Deluxe series adds contemporary performance upgrades while keeping the unmistakable Fender vibe intact.

This example is in near mint condition and it includes the original case and paperwork, a great bonus for both players and collectors.  It has been hiding in a dormant, unplayed collection for the last 20 years.  The frets show no real wear.  The neck is straight and the truss rod has room for future neck relief adjustments.  The bass set up nicely for us with little effort.  

Tonally, this bass delivers everything you expect from a great Jazz Bass—tight, focused lows, punchy and articulate mids, and clear, defined highs that sit perfectly in a mix. The active electronics expand the range even further, making it easy to dial in everything from vintage-style warmth to more modern, hi-fi clarity. It responds beautifully to touch and playing dynamics, whether you’re laying down solid groove lines, playing fingerstyle, or digging in with a pick. The neck has Fender’s familiar, comfortable feel, making long sessions and gigs effortless and fatigue-free.

As with all instruments at Mahar’s Vintage Guitars, it has been fully inspected, photographed accurately, and professionally evaluated to ensure it plays its absolute best.

 We buy, sell, and take trades.
