Fender American Standard Jazz Bass

In 1960 Fender relesed what was to be the standard for all bass guitars to meet. The Fender solid body American Jazz bass featured a sleek offset body with a thin fast neck. The Jazz was a raring, roaring racecar of a bass that quickly established itself as a must-have instrument.The new American Standard Jazz five-string basses feature our new high-mass vintage bridge, a thinner finish undercoat that lets the body breathe and improves resonance, new and improved Fender tuning keys that keep the classic look but are 30 percent lighter, a richer and deeper neck tint for a more elegant appearance, a great-looking glossed maple or rosewood fingerboard and satin back for smooth playability, and a new Fender-exclusive SKB molded case.
