This 1998 Fender Standard Series Jazz Bass is in overall very good cosmetic condition. There are some signs of play wear throughout including some pick scratches, a few dings here and there and a scratch on the bass side horn (see photos). This bass has a typical Jazz Bass neck profile and feels excellent in hand. The frets show hardly any signs of play wear. This instrument has been set up and plays very good up and down the fingerboard. The two pickups in this bass sound fantastic and deliver a round warm bottom end and have plenty of punch. This series of instruments is no longer being produced by Fender and these have always been regarded as excellent playing and sounding instruments at an affordable price. These truly are work horses and this one is no exception. A gem of a bass shipped out safely and promptly from our little shop here in Clarksville, Tennessee, to your front door.
