Fender Standard Jazz Bass - Aqua Marine Metallic, Maple Fingerboard Reviews
The Fender Standard Jazz Bass is back and poised to take your bass playing higher! A performance- and value-packed instrument for a new generation of players, the Standard Jazz Bass is powered by updated ceramic single-coil pickups to deliver the iconic J Bass tone that rocked the music world when the model was first introduced in 1960. At the time, Fender felt that the instrument, with a thinner neck and greater tonal flexibility than the Precision, would appeal to jazz bassists — and indeed, it did. In addition, it caught the attention of rock, funk, and fusion bass wizards such as Led Zeppelin’s John Paul Jones, Sly and the Family Stone’s Larry Graham, and Weather Report’s Jaco Pastorius, who famously removed the frets from his axe, and in the process created a new instrument category: the fretless Jazz Bass. As different as their music was, these musicians (and countless others) were drawn to the Jazz Bass for its fast, slender neck and the expanded tonal spectrum offered by its two single-coil pickups, which can be blended to taste using the individual volume controls.

A Very Pleasant Surprise
I wanted a maple neck jazz but didn't want to spend too much money so I took a chance on the new Standard Jazz Bass and I'm glad I did. This is a truly wonderful instrument, especially for the $$$. It has a very comfortable modern C satin neck, frets are nicely done, the fit and finish are very good and it really sounds terrific! The ceramic pups are very hot compared to my other Jazz with alnicos. Very quick and aggressive sounding. I like em.
So, hats off to the Fender Indonesian crew.
And my sales engineer, Colton Smirwicky is always courteous and helpful. Thank you Colton. Finally, Sweetwater did a fine setup on this bass. Only very minor adjustment to the bridge saddles were needed to get it playing to my satisfaction. Well done!
Love this bass! Thank you Darcee!
Was looking out for bass after wanting one for a while. Decided now was a good time and I was looking for something around the $ range. . She sent me 3 options for choose from, a good, better, and best option. While Fender Standard Jazz Bass was a little over my price range, I was able to get it slightly cheaper because of an open box item so I took a chance.
Received it yesterday and I absolutely love this bass! Feels so good to play and love the tone and it's lightweight!
Thank you Darcee!
