Description
Few 2000s pop-punk bands have reached the same legendary status as My Chemical Romance, and they couldn't have done it without Mikey Way's dominant, driving basslines. The Fender Mikey Way Jazz Bass pays homage to the player's distinctive playing style, and it's a killer bass with a bold sound and a striking aesthetic. Whether you're an MCR fan or just need a first-rate Jazz Bass with a rich, growling tone, this Mikey Way signature model is an excellent choice.
Crafted with an alder body, the Mikey Way Jazz Bass delivers a bright, punchy sound with pronounced upper mids and exceptional sustain. Players will love riffing on its satin-finished '70s C-shaped maple neck that plays with a wicked-fast response. They'll also appreciate its 9.5" radius fingerboard and 20 medium jumbo frets that offer unparalleled playability.
In addition to its impeccable feel, the Mikey Way Jazz Bass features a pair of Vintage-style '70s single-coil pickups that dish out a stellar rock 'n' roll growl. Roll on the neck pickup for a fuller, thumpier sound or crank the bridge single-coil for bright, burpy tones; this bass sounds fantastic any way you set it. But it doesn't just have an awe-inspiring voice. Its stunning appearance, featuring black block inlays, a dazzling Silver Sparkle finish, and a black headstock, commands attention on any stage.
Other appointments include nickel and chrome hardware, 70s Vintage-style stamped open-gear tuners, and Mikey Way's signature on the back of the headstock. If you're a dedicated My Chemical Romance fan or a bassist seeking a rockin' axe with a bold sound, you need to check out the Fender Mikey Way Jazz Bass.
