I bought this bass second hand. The first thing I felt was the balance. It seems to balance well in all positions.
The sound range for a passive bass is enormous.. from a twang that we'll never use through a growl to a boomy bass. I have not set my amp beyond flat and still get the palette.
This is a beautiful bass in all respects, an extension of the body, and a worthy embodiment to leo F's original vision. Great fun.

The Fender Standard Jazz Bass has been time-tested and musician-approved. Leo Fender designed and built the world's first electric bass guitar in late 1951 and every electric bass made since then is unquestionably a direct descendent. But Leo was never satisfied, so in 1960, he introduced the "deluxe model" Fender Jazz Bass. So inspired was that design that it has changed little over the years in appearance, though its evolution continues today with the 4-string Standard Jazz Bass. A shielded body cavity for quieter operation and a pair of pickups with surprising tonal versatility make the Fender Standard Jazz bass a smart buy.
