Here for sale we have a Fender Mexican Standard 5-String Jazz Bass in 3-Tone Sunburst finish. Made in Mexico in 2000, this bass consists of an Alder body, a Maple neck, and a 20-fret Rosewood fingerboard. Other appointments include Gotoh tuners, a top-loading chrome 5-saddle bridge, Chrome hardware, and a set of Fender Standard Jazz Bass Single Coil pickups. These pickups are wired to two independent volume controls, and a master tone control. 

The Maple neck plays very comfortably, with Fender's ‘C’ profile filling the hand in an assuring way while still allowing for comfortable reach in all registers and promoting ergonomic thumb positioning. The double cutaway body design offers extended access into the upper register. This works well with the Satin finish to the rear of the neck, allowing for smooth navigation of the 34” scale. The Medium Jumbo fret wire combined with the 9.5” radius makes for a great feel under the fingers, and provides the versatility required for a wide range of styles and techniques. 

The pair of Fender Standard Single-Coil Jazz Bass pickups installed in this instrument deliver thick and full-bodied bass tones, with plenty of warmth and clarity. This makes them extremely versatile, with plenty of rumbling low-end for heavy riffing, dark and moody sounds for smooth jazzy bass lines and plenty of sparkle and chime to capture the attack and aggression of your playing for funky parts or even punk. The controls are kept nice and simple and easy to operate, however with independent volume controls the two pickups can be blended in any combination for almost infinite tonal variety. The master tone control allows you to temper the brightness of the bridge pickup nicely or to really darken the sound of the neck.
