A Jazz Bass Born to Expand the Fender Sound Spectrum

Released by Fender in 1960 as a complement to the Precision Bass, the Jazz Bass established itself as a more versatile and brighter alternative thanks to its two-pickup configuration. Its asymmetrical body improves ergonomics, while its slim neck profile promotes agility and speed-qualities that quickly won over players well beyond the jazz genre.

For Whom and Which Styles?

The Fender Standard Jazz Bass is designed to support bassists at the start of their musical journey, while providing a solid foundation for progress. It is perfectly suited for rock, pop, funk, indie, and more modern styles where attack, precision, and strong presence in the mix are sought. The two independent volume controls also allow easy fine-tuning of the balance between warmth and bite.

The Sound

This Jazz Bass relies on a typical SS configuration, with two single-coil pickups: the neck pickup delivers a rounder, fuller low end, while the bridge pickup adds brightness, grain, and a more "edgy" attack. The ceramic magnets and high output level promote a clear and precise response, ideal for articulated lines and playing with both pick and fingers. The maple fingerboard enhances clarity and definition, and the long 34" / 864 mm scale length contributes to good string tension and solid sustain.
