Launched by Fender® in 1960 and positioned as a deluxe model to compliment the P Bass®, the Jazz Bass® provided jazzers with dual pickups for added sonic variety and brightness, a more ergonomic offset-waist body, and a slim neck shape that invited fast, agile performance.
Built to accompany players on their formative musical adventures, the Fender Standard Jazz Bass delivers the approachable playability and inspiring tone that made Fender an icon of rock & roll. Powered by a set of Fender Standard pickups for high-output sonic character and an inviting “Modern C”-shaped neck for superior playing comfort, this J Bass® truly sets the standard for the Fender experience.
