Jazz bass

A Jazz bass is a type of electric bass guitar commonly used in jazz music, designed to provide a warm, rich, and resonant low end. It typically features a shorter neck and a smaller body than other electric basses, with a focus on precise, expressive playing. The instrument often has multiple pickups and tone controls, allowing musicians to craft a variety of tonal colors. Its design and sound facilitate nuanced playing styles, from walking basslines to improvisational solos, making it a versatile foundation for jazz ensembles and adaptable to other genres.
