Overview

Honoring the Weather Report's awesome bassist.

In designing this beautifully crafted, exotic wood J Bass, Fender incorporated a host of features guided by Victor himself. The sleek body has a koa top over rosewood and mahogany. Noiseless pickups add warmth and lows that complement the body's natural clarity and brightness. The circuitry has been tweaked with pre-shape, boost, and EQ settings to enhance the unique sonic nature of the exotic woods. For maximum headroom, the circuit is powered by an 18-volt supply. It comes with a Fender deluxe brown hardshell case, strap, cable, and Meguiar's Mist and Wipe Kit.
