The Fender Jazz Bass was introduced in 1960, following the phenomenal success of Leo Fender’s 1951 Precision bass. The Jazz Bass was intended as a Deluxe bass, with its narrower neck targeted towards jazz players (which may also explain the name), who may still have been using upright basses. It’s been in production continuously since, in various configurations and versions.
This 2012 Fender American Standard Jazz Bass is in fantastic, near mint condition. It’s all original with Fender Custom Shop pickups and rosewood fingerboard with dot position markers, and the alder body sports a classic 3-tone sunburst and faux tortoise pickguard. The strings mount through the back onto the new High Mass Vintage bridge – this is just as adjustable as the original vintage bridge but with much more weight to add sustain and clarity.
