Yosemite Pickups
a rich, expressive array of tonesDesigned specifically for the American Performer range, the inclusion of Yosemite pickups is an exciting one, featuring staggered pole pieces and shellac potting, these things rip! The end result is a greater output, whilst at the same time enabling the coils to breathe, and thus eliminating feedback.
Similar to Jazz Bass pickups prior, the Yosemite pickups are designed to produce warm, rich and expressive tones. Whilst typically more geared towards funk and jazz, the Yosemite’s are flexible enough to turn their hand to anything!
Why Choose Fender's American Performer Jazz Bass?
NEW YOSEMITE PICKUPSHandcrafted in Corona, California, Yosemite pickups are specifically voiced for each instrument and position to create sonically versatile and musically useful sounds.
TAPERED-SHAFT
TUNING MACHINESFeaturing vintage-style paddle keys, tapered tuning machines are wider at the top than the bottom, forcing the string windings downward and keeping them tight for increased sustain and enhancing tuning stability.
MEDIUM-JUMBO FRETSMedium-jumbo frets make it easier to achieve wide, expressive bends that add your personal touch to your music.
4-SADDLE BRIDGEThis model features a four-saddle bridge for solid tuning stability, precise intonation and increased sustain.
SATIN-FINISHED NECKFeaturing a “Modern C”-shaped profile that works well with almost any playing style, the neck also hosts a satin finish on the back, giving it a smooth, fast playing feel.
GREASEBUCKET TONE SYSTEMThis uniquely Fender tone system lets you cut treble without losing gain or “muddying” your sound, preserving your carefully shaped tone.
