Fender Am Pro II Jazz Bass MN DK NIT Reviews

Mixed feelings…

Bought this bass in January 2023.

It arrived safely and very fast. A hard case is very good, much better than I got in 2012 together with my first Am std Pbass.

Pros:

- light weight

- good balance

- great fret work

- nice neck profile and feeling

- great hardware and electronics

- excellent color (subjective)

Cons:

- the neck of my bass has a deadspot in the 5th fret of E string.

- the bridge of the bass was not attached tightly, there was a gap between the bridge and the body of the bass because of thick grounding wire.

As for the sound of the bass it is quite subjective as well and I am still exploring it. From the first feeling I would say it is full but a bit muddy and warmer than the tone of previous pro model. Boosting mids and cutting lows fix this.

Conclusion:

Good bass but I would not buy it without trying first.
