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 American Standard Jazz Bass is an even finer player's instrument-a modern interpretation of Fender's classic instrument for today's players. Features include their high-mass vintage bridge, a thinner finish undercoat that lets the body breathe and improves resonance, 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 maple fingerboard and satin back for smooth playability, a Fender-exclusive SKB molded case and a gorgeous Blizzard Pearl finish option. This version of the Fender American Standard Jazz Bass features a maple fretboard for slightly brighter tone.
