The Fender Jazz Bass was inspired by player feedback on the Precision Bass in the late 1950's. Featuring a slimmer neck, an offset-waist body and 2 single-coil, bi-pole pickups, the Jazz Bass has become a standard among musicians of all walks of life. The new American Series Jazz Bass continues in the Fender tradition of quality and tone.
