A Fender Jazz is an excellent choice for virtually any kind of music. It would be nice if your profile was a completed so we could make specific recommendations.
What you are looking for is a Spector!
First off, what is your first bass? Are you looking to get the same feel and sound? Fender Jazz' are nice and their are a ton of companies making Jazz basses that are expensive and super nice.
You may need to leave a little more info as to what youre looking for in a bass to get recommendations. And what are you calling "expensive"? You have to remember, some guys on here have no prob dropping 3 grand on a bass. I shudder at the thought. My $900 used Spector was enough.
Give us some more info. Just a thought.

I'm not sure where you live, but in Canada, the '62 reissue Jazz is about $1850 and the '75 is $50 more. Both are terrific all-round basses.
For north of two large, There's always the Sadowsky Metro series, but they have a more unique, modern voice. The Fenders have a more familiar sound -- kind of like old, comfy slippers.
For the Fender sound at a better QC level, you can't go wrong with a Lakland Skyline Joe Osborn. Alleva Coppollo has many fans around here as well, but I don't know what they tend to cost.
And you should *definitely* check out a Valenti. Nino's on this forum quite a bit, and he can make an axe to your needs.
