Classic Jazz Bass 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 Fender Custom Shop Custom Classic Jazz Bass bears that out.

Quartersawn neck for stability and playability
The neck is one of the most important aspects of any instrument, which is why the 5-string Fender Custom Shop Custom Classic Jazz Bass features a quartersawn maple neck. Besides looking good, the straight grain of quartersawn necks is about 50% more stable than plain-sawn necks, and less likely to warp, twist or shrink. You'll also love the playability and feel of the Custom Classic Jazz Bass's contoured heel when you're playing higher up the fretboard. Down low, your fretting hand will appreciate the 9.5" radius that keeps things nice and comfortable for natural, relaxed arpeggio work.

Fender Custom's Nitro Relic finish looks, feels, and sounds incredible
The Fender Custom Shop Custom Classic Jazz Bass wears a juicy relic'd nitrocellulose lacquer finish that gives the instrument a classic, well-played look. Nitro finishes - standard back in the '50s and '60s - are significantly thinner than today's polyurethane finishes, allowing the axe to "breathe." Nitro finishes not only look vintage-y cool; they also enhance the bass's tonal qualities - so your 5-string Custom Classic Jazz Bass sounds every bit as wicked as it looks!
