Fender's "Deluxe" Jazz Bass Redesigned and Refined
The Fender Standard Jazz Bass has been time-tested and musician-approved. Leo Fender designed and built the world's first electric bass guitar in late 1951 and every electric bass made since then is unquestionably a direct descendent. But Leo was never satisfied, so in 1960, he introduced the "deluxe model" Fender Jazz Bass. So inspired was that design that it has changed little over the years in appearance, though its evolution continues today with the 4-string Standard Jazz Bass. A shielded body cavity for quieter operation and a pair of pickups with surprising tonal versatility make the Fender Standard Jazz bass a smart buy.

Bass guitars are big and that can mean heavy, too. Not so with the Fender Standard Jazz Bass. It comes with the distinctive "offset waist" alder body, which is resonant but relatively light. You'll appreciate after grooving for two or three hours up on stage.
Maple neck with modern "C" shapeLeo Fender wasn't actually a guitar player, so he didn't really know that guitars weren't supposed to have maple necks. Eventually, the blond maple necks became a Fender trademark. This standard Jazz Bass has a nicely balanced maple neck with a modern "C" shape.
Dual, single-coil Jazz Bass pickups in a shielded body cavityFender's early electric basses had just one pickup. So naturally, if one was good, two was even better. The Standard Series Jazz Bass has two single-coil Jazz Bass pickups in a shielded body cavity for quieter operation, both on stage and in the studio.
