A standard in the music world since it's introduction in 1960. Equipped with 2 single coil pickups, separate volume controls and a single tone control the Fender Jazz is the single most popular bass guitar in the world. It followed Leo Fender's wildly popular Precision bass and became a standard on stage and in the studio. Fender became famous for their solid body electric guitars, a concept laughed at by earlier guitar makers such as Gibson.
