Used 2008 Fender American Standard Jazz Bass 3-Tone Sunburst With OHSC
For the low end players, you can own a special version of the iconic Fender American Standard Series with this Fender American Standard Jazz Bass in Sunburst from 2008. In 2008, Fender revamped the American Standard series, they didn't just tweak the logo; they went back to the drawing board to bridge the gap between vintage soul and modern reliability.
Here we have one the first Jazz basses from the first run. It was made as a rep sample for the Fender District Sales Manager and "won" by the Fender Inside Sales rep. 3 years later, that Inside rep became the District Sales Manager. 7 years later, he became the owner of Truetone. Now, 8 years later, it's available on the market.
This 2008 American Standard is a prime example of why this relaunch was so successful. First, let’s talk resonance. Fender introduced a thinner undercoat this year, allowing the Alder body to actually "breathe" and vibrate more freely. You can feel it in your chest when you dig into the E-string.
The neck is that classic, slim Jazz profile we all love, but with a satin finish on the back that feels like a well-worn pair of jeans—fast, smooth, and never sticky. The rosewood board adds that touch of warmth and "thump" that complements the 3-Tone Sunburst aesthetic perfectly.
Loaded with two American Standard Alnico V single-coils, this J-Bass does exactly what it’s supposed to do: it growls. Whether you’re looking for that bridge-pickup "burp" or the wide-open scooped slap tone, it’s all here.
It also features the High Mass Vintage (HMV) bridge. It gives you the classic look of a top-load bridge but with the rock-solid sustain and punch of a through-body design. Combined with the Hipshot lightweight tuners, this bass balances perfectly on a strap without the dreaded "neck dive."
This bass is in excellent condition, comes with a case, and has been through our shop, fully inspected, and set up by our professional repair shop. This one is ready to go.
