Updated version. Alder body. 2 bi-pole pickups.

On its early '60s introduction, the Fender Jazz Bass guitar immediately endeared itself to the music world, quickly becoming another Fender design classic and an indispensable element in the arsenal of many a bassist worldwide.

Fender's lean-and-mean Standard Jazz Bass incorporates many of the original model's classic Fender 'firsts,' such as the offset waist and ultra-slim fast-action neck. It's updated here with 2 bi-pole pickups and American Jazz Bass knobs, giving you the best of both worlds and eras'some vintage vibe and appointments with some modern refinements.

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
This is one the most versetile sounding basses around, and would replace anything on it to keep playing it and will play it until it is unrepairable. It works very well for me and the music I play.
Sound
It has a very nice clean sound, no buzzing or clicks in the pickups.
Features
This bass is of very good quality and will probably last me a long time. The only problem I had with it is the bridge is not of the best quality I have seen, the bridge on my bass kept winding down. I replaced it with a Leo Quan BADASS II bass bridge, no problems. It stays in tune very well.
Ease of Use
Very good overall. Some trouble with the bridge but nothing I couldn't fix.
Quality
Very good except small hole, about 2 inches from the bridge.
Value
Yes.
Manufacturer Support
Have not dealt with them, I doubt I ever will.
The Wow Factor
It is awsome, the finish is very good. Just like a big Stratocaster, very easy to handle, very appealing.
