God Bless the Lone Star State! This 1970 Fender Jazz Bass, the Cadillac of jazz basses for its custom, car-inspired Sonic Blue color, shown here aged to a delicious cream white-green with blueish undertones, features all the original CBS-era specs and wear to match. Watch as our guy Mike takes it for a drive.
The Fender Jazz Bass (often shortened to J-Bass) is the second model of electric bass created by Leo Fender. It is distinct from the Precision Bass in that its tone is brighter and richer in the midrange and treble with less emphasis on the fundamental frequency. The body shape is also different from the Precision Bass, in that the Precision Bass has a symmetrical lower bout on the body, designed after the Telecaster and Stratocaster lines of guitars, while the Jazz Bass has an offset lower bout, mimicking the design aesthetic of the Jaguar and Jazzmaster guitars.
