FENDER USA Flea Jazz Bass Active MN Satin Inca Silver
Four-string electric bass with Fender Custom Humbucker, active Aguilar electronics, including case and certificate
The Fender USA Flea Jazz Bass Active MN Satin Inca Silver Signature Bass by Red Hot Chili Peppers bassists delivers thunderous grooves between rock and funk. Based on the classic offset design in satin finish, the four-string has an alder body and a screwed neck made of quartersawn maple, which guarantees optimal playing conditions with its "C" profile and compound fingerboard radius. Combined with active Aguilar OBP-1 electronics, the Fender Custom Humbucker also delivers punchy bass sounds for driving slap attacks or grooving finger picking. Last but not least, Fender has equipped the Flea Active Jazz Bass with a 4-saddle HiMass bridge and accurate lightweight vintage tuners.
The Fender USA Flea Jazz Bass Active MN Satin Inca Silver delivers massive bass sounds for funk and rock with a custom humbucker and active electronics from Aguilar.
Classic design and high playing comfort
Based on the traditional offset design, the Fender USA Flea Jazz Bass Active MN Satin Inca Silver features an alder body with the familiar sweeping lines and a fivefold bolted neck made of maple with standing annual rings (Quartersawn Maple). The combination of the "C" neck profile and the increasing compound radius of the maple fingerboard from 12" to 16" provides optimal playing conditions, which let every groove go by itself.
Fender Custom Humbucker with Aguilar Electronics
The Fender USA Flea Jazz Bass Active uses a specially developed Fender custom humbucker as the pickup. The combination of raw power and a position close to the bridge produces a powerful sound with thundering bass and brilliant treble. An active Aguilar OBP-1 2-band equalizer is also available. Thanks to an 18 Volt operating voltage, the tone control offers an extremely high headroom, while its musical tuning always guarantees first-class sounds even in extreme settings of bass and treble.
HiMass Bridge and Lightweight Tuner
Last but not least, the Fender USA Flea Jazz Bass Active MN Satin Inca Silver is equipped with high-quality hardware, which completes even the toughest shows with unlimited reliability. The massive Fender 4-Saddle HiMass bridge on the body not only has a positive effect on sustain and sound development, but also guarantees an optimal adjustment of intonation and string position. Behind the bone saddle, Fender Lightweight Vintage tuners on the headstock provide precise tuning, while their low weight counteracts top-heaviness.
