Northern Pickups

After the Precision Bass® came the Jazz Bass®. Originally introduced in 1960 as the Deluxe model, it was soon renamed the Jazz Bass® to appeal to Jazz musicians ad because it borrowed the offset contour waist of the Jazzmaster®.

With two bi-pole single-coil pickups, the sound is traditionally brighter than the Precision Bass® due to the positioning of the two pickups and the ability to control the two. The two pickups are RWRP to cancel hum when both are at full volume.

​

In 2005 Fender also introduced the Jaguar Bass®, with similar specs to the Jaguar guitar, it borrowed the Jazz Bass® pickups with Jaguar guitar style controls.
