Fender Standard Jazz Bass - Black

Since its groundbreaking debut in 1960, the Jazz Bass has been a cornerstone of modern music, holding down the low end for legends like Jaco Pastorius, Geddy Lee, and Marcus Miller. The Fender Standard Jazz Bass carries that storied legacy forward, offering the classic offset-waist body that sits effortlessly against your body whether you're jamming sitting down or rocking an all-night gig. Its punchy resonant poplar body delivers a solid tonal foundation that rings true with balanced warmth and clarity.

At the heart of this low-end machine is a duo of Fender Standard single-coil pickups, dialed in to deliver that unmistakable J Bass growl, bite, and articulation. Whether you are laying down buttery smooth groove walks, cutting through a heavy rock mix, or dialing up tight slap rhythms, the dual volume and master tone controls give you complete command over your sonic footprint.

Designed with ultimate playability in mind, the satin-finished "Modern C" maple neck glides through your hand effortlessly, while the 9.5"-radius fingerboard makes fast fingerwork and smooth position shifts feel natural. Upgraded with reliable open-gear tuners and a sturdy top-load bridge with steel barrel saddles, this bass keeps your tuning rock-solid so you can focus on driving the rhythm section.
