From writing and performing on countless Hip Hop records and film scores, to producing and engineering at Linear Labs, to co-founding Jazz Is Dead, Adrian Younge’s influence on modern music and culture is undeniable. His experimental and unbridled creativity, coupled with his appreciation of late-‘60s and early-‘70s analog recording is at the heart of the Limited Edition Masterbuilt Adrian Younge Jazz Bass®.
***This is a one-time run that Fender is offering only to Custom Shop Showcase dealers. It is now available for pre-order and will start shipping in Q2 2026, continuing through the year.

Fender Custom Shop Masterbuilder Levi Perry worked with Adrian to meticulously recreate the Jazz Bass® that was brought to life several years ago by then Masterbuilder Vincent Van Trigt. Dressed in Journeyman Relic® Aged Silver Sparkle lacquer, the two-piece select alder Jazz Bass® body is paired with a quartersawn maple “C”-shaped neck, rosewood fingerboard and matching painted headcap. This particular bass harnesses the best punch and warmth of a Golden Era Precision Bass® with the thunderous lows of vintage hollow body basses, all wrapped into the playability of a perfectly crafted Jazz Bass®.
While nailing down specifications on this bass, Adrian requested something incredibly unique—a half fretless neck. So, this bass has vintage upgrade fret wire up through the 9th fret and is fretless from there all the way to the 20th. With the way Levi builds each neck, transitioning from fretted from fretless playing is effortless and intuitive, giving players a completely fresh approach on an instrument that could have been released in the late ‘60s.
In addition to the special neck specs, Adrian sought to incorporate two of his favorite studio effects built in: a ‘60s-voiced fuzz and a square wave tremolo effect modeled after his rare analog fuzz boxes. Both effects are quickly turned on and off via the master volume and tone controls, unlocking another new set of sounds within this wildly inspiring Jazz Bass®.
