A Jazz Bass with Custom Shop Pickups!

The latest incarnation of the FENDER® American Standard Jazz Bass® takes this classic instrument to new heights. In addition to its legendary offset-waist body and slender neck design, the Fender American Jazz Bass sports some incredible new features, including Custom Shop pickups and a new satin neck finish. A pair of Fender Custom Shop '60s Jazz Bass pickups gives the American Standard the thump and growl you want and need. You also get a high-quality SKB hard case and accessory kit with this great-sounding, easy-playing American Standard Jazz Bass!



Fender American Standard Jazz Bass at a Glance:
  • Classic design
  • Custom Shop pickups for huge tone
  • The perfect neck finish

Classic design
Leo Fender brought us the first Jazz Bass in 1960, and its offset-waist body, balanced design, and smooth-playing, narrow neck continue to give today's American Standard version excellent playability and a distinctive look. Players from all genres have embraced this bass, and you can see it on stages everywhere and hear it in countless recordings. As with so many of Fender's original designs, the man got the essence of the Jazz Bass right the first time, and the new American Standard Jazz Bass bears that out.

Custom Shop pickups for huge tone
One of the biggest improvements on the American Standard Jazz Bass is the addition of Fender Custom Shop pickups. You'll love the Custom Shop '60s Jazz Bass single-coil pickups in this J Bass®. Fender over-wound these pickups to give you more punch, mid-range, bass and output. Perfect for all styles of music, these pickups give you a fat low end, tons of thump, and that iconic Jazz Bass growl.

The perfect neck finish
Players are very particular about many aspects of their instruments, but none more so than the neck. Fender has incorporated a great-feeling satin finish on the American Standard Jazz Bass neck. The back of the Jazz Bass's neck has a slick-playing satin finish that feels worn in and ready to go. The headstock has a tinted gloss finish, and the rosewood fretboard has been buffed to perfection. Once you play the American Standard Jazz Bass neck finish, you won't be able to go back to anything else.

Fender American Standard Jazz Bass Features:
  • Classic bass sounds and amazing playability
  • Custom Shop '60s Jazz Bass pickups give you awesome tone
  • Satin neck finish feels and plays great
  • Made in Fender's USA factory
  • Includes Hardshell SKB case, cable, strap, and polishing cloth

Our Customers Say...

I can talk to my Sales Engineer about any piece of equipment, and he always steers me in the right direction. He truly knows what he's talking about, and he never tries to over-sell me on anything. If he worked in the Nashville area, I'd probably owe him about 20 dinners by now!
