About Fender Jazz Bass

The legendary Fender Jazz Bass is an innovative Fender Bass design. Consistently popular since its release in 1960, it is one of the most copied bass designs in existence.

Since this is one of Fender's best ever selling designs, it is available across the board at a huge range of price points. This includes the Player Series, the American Profession II and the Fender Custom Shop range. The American Pro II Jazz Bass is particularly popular addition thanks to its upgraded pickups and many user-friendly features.

For those who take their playing and tone seriously, this a model well worth your consideration.
