Comments about Fender American Standard Jazz 4 String Bass (Assorted Colors):
After playing the Fender American Standard Jazz Bass, I have found the bass for me that does it all. The sound is amazing. This Fender American Std. Jazz has passive pick ups, but has more out put than a Fender Standard Jazz. A great boom sound, and the rounded neck and finger board is the finishing touch to a top of the line bass. Extremely clean and smooth action on the neck. This bass is the one you want to definitely try for yourself. I had the Fender Precision and the Jazz Bass plugged in, and chose the Jazz with 3-Color Sunburst, Maple finger board. The finish is flawless as well. Great job Fender. The SKB Fender Case is a great protection for it as well. Go for it, a real Jazz Bass.

Comments about Fender American Standard Jazz 4 String Bass (Assorted Colors):
This '08 Jazz is a slight improvement over my '03 in weight, fretwork and bridge. Both have their own vibe and both sound wonderful but I feel more presence from the '08. I also like the flat pole pieces that don't chew up your fingers. A very fine instrument; not perfect but close.
