Fender Standard Jazz Bass Aqua Marine Metallic Electric Bass Guitar

Quick Product Summary

The Fender Standard Jazz Bass in Aqua Marine Metallic combines classic Jazz Bass versatility with comfortable modern playability and a striking metallic finish. Its poplar offset body is paired with a Modern “C” maple neck and maple fingerboard, creating a familiar feel suitable for developing players, working musicians and experienced bassists alike.

Two Fender Standard ceramic single-coil Jazz Bass pickups provide clear, punchy and articulate passive tones. Independent volume controls for each pickup let you blend warmer neck sounds with the tighter definition of the bridge pickup, while the master tone control provides quick adjustment of the overall brightness.

What Makes the Fender Standard Jazz Bass Special?

The Jazz Bass has become one of the most versatile electric bass designs thanks to its comfortable offset body, slim-feeling neck and flexible two-pickup layout. The Standard Jazz Bass keeps that formula straightforward, pairing dual ceramic single-coils with intuitive passive controls that make it easy to find useful sounds for everything from rock and pop to funk, soul and indie.

The Modern “C” maple neck, 9.5" fingerboard radius and slim 1.5" nut width provide an inviting playing experience, while the Aqua Marine Metallic finish, maple fingerboard and contrasting white pickguard give this version a distinctive contemporary Fender appearance.
