Description

A new series of Japanese-made active basses has finally arrived!

The Made in Japan Limited Active Modern series is a new modern style option developed for players who prefer high-end guitars and basses and seek a balance between playability and sound quality.

Based on the iconic single-coil sound that has shaped the history of music for Fender, this guitar incorporates the newly developed active SILENCOIL System. It reduces hum noise without compromising the original tone of the single-coil pickup, achieving a high level of comfort, quietness, and a wide range of sound variations required in modern playing environments.

The neck features a newly designed heel cut, a finish that ensures smooth playability, and a compound radius fingerboard. It provides comfortable playability at all positions, from chord playing in the lower positions to technical lead playing in the higher positions.

The newly developed SILENCOIL System maintains the delicate nuances and clear attack inherent in single-coil pickups, while sending a signal from the pickup's ground side to cancel out only the hum noise picked up by the independent coil, resulting in a clear and three-dimensional sound. Furthermore, because the system design is independent of the type of pickup, the effects of the SILENCOIL System can be maintained even if the pickups are replaced in the future.

The active and passive modes are switched via a push/push switch on the tone pot; it's passive normally, and becomes active when the pot is pushed up. Pushing the tone knob activates the bass and treble equalizer, and the stacked knobs allow you to independently boost each frequency band, enabling a wide range of sound shaping. It's nice that the tone control works even when it's active.

Combining the precise craftsmanship unique to Made in Japan with modern functionality, this series inherits the traditional Fender sound while offering a modern style bass for players seeking greater freedom and expressiveness in their playing.
