First introduced in 1960, the Fender Jazz Bass® quickly became a favorite for players who wanted more tonal range, faster feel, and a sleek offset body. The Fender Standard Jazz Bass continues that legacy with approachable playability, classic tone, and modern reliability—making it an ideal choice for developing players and seasoned musicians alike.
A poplar body with a durable gloss finish keeps the instrument lightweight and resonant, while Fender Standard ceramic single-coil Jazz Bass pickups deliver clear articulation, punchy lows, and the signature midrange growl the Jazz Bass is known for. Independent volume controls for each pickup and a master tone knob allow for everything from warm vintage sounds to bright, cutting slap tones.
The maple neck features Fender’s comfortable “Modern C” profile with a satin urethane finish, making it fast and inviting in the hand. A 9.5” radius maple fingerboard with medium jumbo frets strikes a great balance between comfort and precision, whether you’re locking into a groove or exploring melodic lines up the neck.
Solid hardware—including a 4-saddle top-load bridge with satin chrome steel barrel saddles and open-gear tuning machines—keeps tuning stable and intonation dialed in. This is a no-nonsense Jazz Bass designed to grow with you as your playing evolves.
