In that case, the Fender Classic '60s Jazz Bass RW with its Sonic Blue urethane finish is definitely worth your attention.

Classic '60s Jazz Bass RW: a clear, balanced sound with harmonic overtones

This Jazz Bass's rosewood fretboard is attached to a maple neck, which in turn is bolted onto a basswood body by means of four screws. This construction provides the sixties Fender bass guitar with a full, balanced core sound with well-toned mids and a creamy, rounded punch in the trebles. A set of vintage-style Fender Jazz Bass single-coil pickups ensures that the harmonic overtones and mid range are clearly audible. Finally, two tone knobs and a master volume knob give you full control over the timeless output of this Sonic Blue solid-body J Bass.
