Fender Musical Instruments

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 fretless 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 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 rosewood fingerboard and satin back for smooth playability and a new Fender-exclusive SKB molded case.
