The Fender Jazz Bass from the 1960s and 1970s represents one of the most iconic eras in electric bass history. Introduced by Leo Fender in 1960, the Jazz Bass quickly became famous for its slim neck, versatile tone, and distinctive offset body. Vintage models from this period — especially pre-CBS and early CBS instruments — are highly sought after for their exceptional craftsmanship, Sunburst finishes, and rich, dynamic sound that defined countless rock, funk, and pop recordings.

Today, vintage Fender Jazz Basses (1960–1974) remain prized by musicians and collectors worldwide, celebrated as timeless symbols of quality, tone, and design innovation.
