The Fender Jazz Bass has been a popular bass guitar, and is considered as the most modern in Fender's line up. But that didn't stop them from knocking it up a notch with their Blacktop treatment of gorgeous ultra sleek black pickguard, HiMass bridge and spilt coil pickup that back a serious punch. This is the perfect bass for bassists who love the Fender look but want something edgier and more agressive and modern.

Features include an alder body, maple neck with modern C shape and gloss urethane finish, rosewood fretboard with 9.5” radius and 20 medium jumbo frets, three-ply black-white-black pickguard, open-gear tuners and chrome hardware.
