Hey, this is Pete Griffin here at Fender
with some awesome news.
They've added a bass to the Rarities lineup, the Fender
Rarities Flame Ash Top Jazz Bass.
The Rarities line showcases the best Fender
has to offer from the wood to the hardware
to the pickups, which are either custom made
for each guitar or custom shop pickups or US pure vintage.
And the Rarities guitars are all made in the Corona, California
factory.
The tone you heard up top is the bass
plugged into the basement 800 amp with both pickups on full.
Let's hear a little more from the bridge pickup only
and then we can take a look at the features of the bass.

And now onto the features.
This bass has a two-piece Alder body
with a plasma red burst flame ash
top and a gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish.
The pickups are pure vintage '64 single-coil jazz bass pickups--
classic sounding jazz tone.
Now let's run through each of the pickups on their own
and then I'll let you hear a combo of both together.

Our control knobs are volume for the middle pick up,
volume for the bridge pickup, and then our master tone knob.
Our bridge is a four saddle vintage style bridge
with threaded steel saddles.
The neck is a slim '64 "C"-shaped maple neck capture
the dark ebony fingerboard with a 9 and 1/2 inch radius.
It's got vintage tall frets and it's super comfy to play.
All right, now let's hear the middle pickup soloed,
and I'll play with a pick.

So that's the Fender Rarities Flame Ash Top Jazz Bass--
classic styling with awesome premium upgrades.
