Fender Standard Jazz Bass - Olympic White, Laurel FingerboardSerial Number: ISFA25001453 , Weight: 9 Lbs. 5 Ozs.Electric Bass with Poplar Body, Maple Neck, Indian Laurel Fingerboard, and 2 Single-coil Pickups - Olympic WhiteFender’s Standard J Bass Returns!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.Impressive tonal versatilityWhile preamp-equipped models of the Jazz Bass with active EQ may offer the ultimate tonal customization, the classic passive Jazz Bass provides a surprisingly broad sonic palette without having to deal with added complexity and dead-battery angst. With both pickups full up and the instrument’s tone pot fully open, the Jazz Bass produces a wide-range, hum-canceling signal with blooming bottom, sparkling highs, and slightly scooped mids. It’s this tonal richness that funk players exploited with the new playing techniques that emerged in the 1970s. On its own, each pickup brings something different to the tone party. Whi
