Fender Reintroduces Jaguar Bass
Fender is once again shipping the Jaguar Bass, which was discontinued last year. Originally introduced in 2006, the Fender Deluxe Jaguar Bass now comes in three finishes: 3-Color Sunburst, Candy Apple Red, and Cobalt Blue.
The Jaguar bass features an alder body, a C-shaped maple neck and a rosewood fingerboard with 20 medium jumbo frets. Aged white pearloid block inlays pay homage to the style of yesteryear while serving as solid position markers.
A pair of vintage-style single coil Jazz bass pickups are included with active and passive circuits. The switching system is back, with on/off slide switches for each pickup on the lower horn and a series/parallel slide switch. The upper horn holds an active/passive slide switch and dual active-circuit tone control wheels for adjusting treble and bass.
The Fender Deluxe Jaguar Bass has an MSRP of $1,099.99. For more info, visit the Fender website.

cool!!
terrific!!!!
schwing!
Always wanted one. Had no idea they were discontinued.
: D
never been a huge fan of blue basses but this blue one is seXXXy! 1
too bad the headstock doesn’t match the body color like the older fender jag basses did….
totally agreed
I have a friend in CA who can build you an exact copy if you ever want/need one. Right down to the decals.
Frank Celentano thats called copyright infringement hahaha i probably shouldn’t advertise that.
I just watched Weezer on the audience channel Direct TV has and the bass player is rockin a Red Fender Jag Bass with a matching head stock…looks so cool!
how much can he build one for?
*NERD ALERT* the pickups on the blue one are in the 70s position (4″ apart) and on the sunburst on the 80s position (3,6″) so what gives?
I figured it out. The sunburst must have been an old one before they discontinued it? I looked alot into it and it looks like the slightly older ones had the 80’s position on the pickups. Odd that they would change it.
are they made in the US or mexico?
They are made in Japan i believe.
Hopefully Japan, Like the original.. I Love My Original..
I wish it came in a five string…
Fender finally found some blue paint? Too little too late Fender. You and George Lucas are no longer getting my money.
Just got one. It growls real nice.
