Fender American Jazz Bass, maple (w/case) The Fender Jazz Bass debuted in 1960, and has become a staple for players of all genres. It has set the standard for bass tone in the decades since. The J-Bass features the original body radius and contours: slimmer neck, offset-waist body and two single-coil, bi-pole pickups, and offers player-friendly refinements such as detailed fret and nut work, a parchment/black/parchment pickguard and a graphite-reinforced neck with rolled edges. To enhance tone, American Series basses are crafted from solid, premium alder. This guitar is featured with a chrome red finish.
