Fender hit a giant bass home run in 1960 by introducing its deluxe-model four-string instrument-the Jazz Bass Guitar. With its sleek offset body; thin, fast neck and rich, growling tone, it was a raring, roaring racecar of a bass that quickly established itself as a must-have instrument.

The new American Standard Jazz Bass is an even finer player's instrument--a modern interpretation of our classic instrument for today's players. Features include our new high-mass vintage bridge, a thinner finish undercoat that lets the body breath 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 apparience, a great-looking glossed maple or rosewood fingerboard and satin back for smooth playablilty, a new Fender-exclusive SKB molded case and a gorgeous new Blizzard Pearl finish option.
