Mellow, offset, iconic. The original Fender Jazz Bass has been a favorite of countless players - Jaco Pastorius, Noel Redding, Geddy Lee, Marcus Miller and, more recently, Flea among others - for its rich tone and comfortable playability. The made-in-Mexico (since 1995) Fender Standard Jazz Bass offers all of that for an incredibly affordable price. Whether you're looking for a starter bass or a reliable workhorse, this is it. Don't let the name fool you - it can handle any style.
