How The Fender Bass Changed The World

How the Fender Bass Changed the World

by: Jim Roberts

Amazon Price: $8.00 (as of 06/01/2012)

Jim Roberts covers a wide range of electric bass guitar history, and also identifies some classic albums and bassists as examples of electric bass history in the making. This is also a wonderful book for beginners, who want to learn how the bass guitar changed the sound and texture of music since the 1950s. Fantastic photographs and memoribilia throughout. I highly recommend it!

Demonstration Of The New 5-String American Standard Bass

Fender American Deluxe Jazz Bass V 5-String Electric Bass Natural Maple Fretboard

The 5-string Fender American Deluxe Jazz Bass V delivers the modern features that bassists demand in a sleek, familiar electric bass design. An updated preamp circuit brings deeply exhilarating active and passive tone. Powerful-yet-quiet N3 Noiseless pickups present more clean headroom, extended EQ range, and tighter low-end response. The tonal options are vast, thanks to the active/passive toggle switch and passive tone control. These amazing electronics effortlessly handle the low B string with impeccable tone and seismic power. The classic Jazz Bass block fretboard inlays and binding present the Fender American Deluxe V bass in a rightfully classy light.

The Fender Bass: An Illustrated History

by: J. W. Black, Albert Molinaro

Amazon Price: $16.03 (as of 06/01/2012)

J.W. Black and Albert Molinaro have created a Fender bass history book and picture source that is classy and informative -definitely a step above any book of its kind. An absolute must for any bass player or collector.

The Fender P-Bass Special

Fender Deluxe P Bass Special 4-String Bass Black Maple Fretboard

The Fender Deluxe P Bass Special 4-String Bass has a Jazz neck, a P Bass body, and a P/J combination pickup array with Vintage Noiseless pickups and active electronics. The P body is a little smaller and lighter, the J neck slimmer and faster, and the combined pickups give you just that much more to play with. A gold vinyl pickguard sets the Deluxe P Bass apart visually, and its satin-finish neck feels worn in from the get-go.

The New Fender American Standard Line - An Introduction

Fender American Deluxe Jazz Bass Olympic White Rosewood Fretboard

The Fender American Deluxe J-bass is built with an alder body-a hard wood that provides clear tone and lasting sustain. The maple neck with modern C-shape, Posiflex graphite neck support rods, 5-bolt neck plate, and contoured heel make the instrument extremely easy to play. The High-Mass Vintage bass bridge offers compressed and focused bass tone, with more mid range punch. It retains the Fender articulation and sparkle, combined with vintage-style saddles to maintain a classic vibe. The combination of a steel plate with brass saddles produces the best possible Fender Bass sound.

Fender Custom Shop Master Built 1970s Jazz Bass Heavy Relic Black over Candy Apple Red Standard

This Master Built 1970s Jazz Bass has a relic finish with vintage electronics and other desirable features. The thin lacquer finish gives the Fender bass a worn, and rugged look, while exposing the bottom colors. It shows heavy arm and edge wear, as well as scrapes and dings. The body is composed of a 2-piece ash construction, with a 3-bolt neck design. The vintage chrome plating also has the relic treatment, still giving it shine, but worn to look like it has been on the road for years. The chrome bridge, bone nut, medium jumbo frets, and custom Madagascar rosewood fretboard offers lasting sustain and unparalleled clarity. The Fender J bass U-neck shape and 9.5" radius offers comfort when dancing across the fretboard, and the nickel tuners keep the bass in key. Other appointments include block inlays, standard chrome bridge, white pearl pickguard, and Relic J-Bass bridge and neck pickups. Dressed in a vintage thin lacquer finish, the electric bass guitar's covering will get better with age.

Nice lens. I like Fenders, but somehow always end up buying 'cheapo' basses. So I know from bad experience that it's best to spend a little more for real quality! Welcome to the Bass Guitar Group.
