　　Zone basses (2). As it had from time to time throughout its history, Fender periodically sought to offer even more specialized contemporary options to the perennially controling Precision and Jazz, just like the Heartfield and H.M. basses in the late 1980s and the MB basses and JP-90 in the early 1990s. The early 2000s saw another such effort through the Zone series. Rather Precision-shaped, they had smaller sized and notably light-weight bodies, with special pick-ups and sophisticated tone controls. The U.S.-made American Deluxe Zone Bass, introduced in 2001, was a costly instrument at nearly $2,100, with multi-layered body woods, a graphite-reinforced neck, double humbucking pick-ups, pan and 18-volt active EQ controls, and gold-plated hardware. A simultaneous Mexican-made variation, the Deluxe Zone Bass, was more budget-friendly ($900), with an alder body, single-coil Jazz Bass pick-ups, conventional truss rod and chrome hardware. A five-string model, the Deluxe Zone Bass V, appeared in 2004, with an alder body, pao ferro fingerboard, Precision Bass middle pick-ups and Jazz Bass bridge pickup.

　　Possibly a little more durable than other Fender efforts at contemporary bass guitar designs in the more expensive variety, the Zone basses were ceased after half a dozen years, in 2007.
