Fender

Fender is an American maker of electric guitars, basses, and amplifiers, founded in California in 1946. Its Telecaster, Stratocaster, and Precision Bass are among the most influential solid-body electric instruments ever built.

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 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 Frank Bello Bass

Electric bass · Mexico

A signature Jazz Bass built for Frank Bello, bassist of the thrash metal band Anthrax. It is based on the four-string Jazz Bass platform, set up for the fast, aggressive playing his style demands.

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.

Fender Geddy Lee Jazz Bass

Electric bass · Japan

A signature model based on Rush bassist Geddy Lee's prized 1972 Jazz Bass, typically finished in black with a maple fingerboard, block inlays, and vintage-style pickups. Long offered at an accessible price, it became one of Fender's most popular signature basses.
