The JINO Jazz Bass is a remarkable signature model. It features a bright Seafoam Green ash body with a matching headstock, and it encapsulates the specifications of Kenji Hino 'JINO', suitable for all music genres and play styles. This bass guitar comes with an active/passive switchable 3 - pickup setup. An SHS pickup configuration with an added humbucker, along with a 2 - band Fender FEEQ preamplifier, meets the player's wishes. The front pickup volume is controlled by a Push - Pull switch for easy active/passive switching. The carefully chosen middle pickup aims for a clean and profound sound, and its volume control also has a push - pull function. When pulled, only the humbucker outputs independently.
The bridge is a heavy Hi - Mass Bridge that offers rich sustain and smooth tension. The neck pocket angle is adjusted according to the Hi - Mass Bridge's thickness. By reducing the distance between the body and the strings, it provides excellent playability for slap playing. This product is designed for detailed fingering, and JINO's unique player - centric commitment is evident, making it great for technical play.

Using the Fender JINO Jazz Bass is a breeze. First, plug it into your amplifier using a standard instrument cable. You can use the active/passive switch on the front pickup volume to change the sound character according to your needs. The middle pickup's push - pull function allows you to get a unique sound by outputting only the humbucker.
When it comes to playing, the bass is well - designed for detailed fingering, so you can easily perform various techniques. For slap playing, its Hi - Mass Bridge and the adjusted neck pocket angle offer great playability.
As for maintenance, keep your bass in the provided deluxe gig bag when not in use to protect it from dust and scratches. Wipe the strings with a clean cloth after each use to prevent corrosion. Regularly check the tuning machines to ensure they are working properly and keep the instrument in tune. Also, store the bass in a place with stable temperature and humidity to avoid any damage to the wood body and fretboard.
