The 40th Anniversary Jazz is a superb bass with a modest price tag that features a slick look and all the bells and whistles you’d want, with all the tone of an expensive bass
Over three decades after Leo Fender established Fender Guitars in 1946, the demand for his instruments was so high that in 1982, the company decided to offer a new line of basses and guitars that fit anyone’s budget, released under the brand name Squier. Forty years later, Squiers are still the most popular instruments for entry-level musicians, eager novices, and even pros who want reliable gear that can take the wear and tear on the road. Since 2020, largely due to the COVID lockdown, over 16 million people picked up instruments for the first time and started playing — making beginner-level basses and guitars more important than ever before. Fender’s foresight 40 years ago is now benefitting a whole new wave of musicians of all ages from all over the world.
To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Squier line, Fender has released the limited-run 40th Anniversary Jazz Bass Gold Edition, with elevated details and features. Offered in stunning Olympic White and Ruby Red Metallic
