Fender Jazz Bass

Electric bass

Launched in 1960 as a more refined companion to the Precision Bass, the Jazz Bass uses a slim, offset body, a narrow tapered neck, and two single-coil pickups. The result is a punchy, growling tone with a wide range of blended sounds that made it a studio and stage standard across countless genres.

Fender Mark Hoppus Jazz Bass

Electric bass · Mexico

A signature Jazz Bass for blink-182 bassist Mark Hoppus, built around stripped-down simplicity. It uses a single split-coil pickup in the middle position with one volume control and no tone knob, delivering a punchy, focused pop-punk sound.

Fender Aerodyne Jazz Bass

Electric bass · Japan

A Japanese-built take on the Jazz Bass with a bound body that omits the usual forearm and belly contours, most often finished in gloss black with a matching painted headstock. Instead of two Jazz single-coils it uses a Precision/Jazz pickup pairing, giving a more aggressive, modern voice while keeping the slim Jazz neck profile.

Fender Jazz Bass Special

Electric bass

A Japanese-built bass of the 1980s combining a Precision-style body with a slim Jazz Bass neck and a Precision/Jazz pickup pairing. Its punchy, versatile voice is closely associated with Guns N' Roses bassist Duff McKagan, whose later signature models grew out of it.

Model

Fender Precision Bass

Electric bass

Introduced in 1951, the Precision Bass was the first mass-produced electric bass guitar and effectively defined the instrument. Its fretted neck let players fret notes precisely, and the split single-coil pickup adopted in 1957 gives the deep, punchy tone that anchors recordings across nearly every popular genre.

Model

Fender Prophecy II Bass

Electric bass

The Prophecy II is an electric bass that Fender sold in the early-to-mid 1990s, built in Japan under Fender's short-lived Heartfield line. It has a double-cutaway body, a bolt-on maple neck, active electronics, and a P/J pickup pairing, with a more modern, sculpted look than Fender's traditional basses.

Model

Fender Jaguar Bass

Electric bass

A bass built on the offset Jaguar body shape, introduced in 2006. It typically carries a Precision/Jazz pickup pairing and active/passive switching, blending the look of the Jaguar with a versatile modern bass voice.
