Personally I had a jazz 2 two years ago it was a generic one ($499) got rid of it ( regrets) and went P bass all the way but if I were to go back to one I would look at these....

Ibanez SR500 or higher with the Bartolini pick-ups. That's my suggestion.

I cant believe how nice those Squier CV's are. Especially the modified 70's jazz. You can get some nice slap tones out of it. I couldnt believe it was a Squier the first time I tried it out

 

[EagleMoon]

Get the CV Jazz bass and you'll have a set. I love the necks on those. Next best thing to a Geddy Lee jazz.

If you like your P bass, you might consider a modded Squier jazz with a P neck. Best of both worlds! I've got a project under way to do just that!

I have a 87' Signature Jazz that would rock your world!!!!

You didn't mention what your budget was. I've owned Fenders, and they were great, but I really enjoy my Lull:

If you really dig the jazz tone, his basses are worth a look.

I'd get a MIM Fender. About $400.00 in your country

yeah, looking around for a cool funky but awesome jazz bass with great fast action...not sure which way to go since there are soooooo many out there...do i really have to pay a fortune for a pro quality and awesome sounding but jazz bass with a cool funky vibe to it? i want one that i can play out and not worry about it failing breaking some how or in need of work...just a good solid and fast action awesome jazz bass!

The CV 60s Jazz is really nice. The neck on mine appears to be quartersawn.

i have an Fender American Standard Jazz Bass:

simple
no nonsense
passive
solid
sounds ridiculous

 

[JSK5String]

That's funny, I happen to have one I'd part with. PM'd...

 

[Stranger Danger]

I just got an American Special JB black n maple and I can't recommend this bass highly enough. Like any Fender you have to try a bunch. I played about 10 in different stores and different cities looking for "the one" and I found it. Allsome bays!

Some '62 or Classic 60's or 60's Road Worn. Quintessential vintage Jazz tone. If you want modern Fender Jazz tone look at the American Deluxe series.

I'd urge you to buy something other than Southeast Asian models. Support as domestically as possible. USA, Japan, or Mexico if you realllllyyy have to..
