Introduced by Fender in 1960, the Jazz Bass became a staple for bassists worldwide due to its distinct tonal characteristics and versatility. The key features of the Jazz Bass include its two single-coil pickups(as opposed to the precision bass’s humbucker pickup configuration), which deliver a bright and articulate sound, making it an ideal choice for various musical genres.
