1997 Fender American Standard Jazz Bass Olympic White 100% Original

Up for sale, a 1997 Fender American Standard Jazz Bass in 100% original condition and in perfect working order. An early example of Fender's “modern” USA incarnation of the Jazz Bass, this bass balances modern and vintage tastes, with the same growl, midrange grind, and burp that has made this model a classic for decades.

Weighing 9lbs 14 oz, tonewoods include a string through alder body, a maple neck, and a slab rosewood fretboard with a modern 9 1/2” radius. This American Standard Jazz Bass benefits from a professional setup here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar, with fresh Thomastik-Infeld JF344 flatwound strings, easy-playing action, and accurate intonation.
