Khruangbin's Laura Lee Ochoa Unveils Her Signature Fender Jazz Bass

Laura Lee Ochoa, the bassist for the acclaimed band Khruangbin, has partnered with Fender to create her very own signature Jazz bass. This instrument, inspired by Ochoa's original customized knockoff Fender Jazz Bass, offers a unique blend of accessibility for beginners and the distinctive tone that Ochoa has become known for throughout her career.

The key features of Ochoa's signature model include DiMarzio Ultra Jazz humbuckers, which help reduce buzzing and deliver a clear, buzz-free tone. The neck boasts a custom "U" profile with a rosewood fretboard and 21 jumbo frets, providing a comfortable and familiar feel for players. Vintage-style concentric volume and tone knobs are also included, offering more options for shaping the tone of the pickups.

Ochoa's first bass was a budget-friendly knockoff of a Fender, which she still uses today. Over the years, she's made modifications to her instrument, such as the DiMarzio Ultra Jazz pickups, that have become integral to her sound. Fender has taken these modifications and recreated them for her signature model, ensuring that it captures the essence of her original instrument.

The stacked concentric knobs on Ochoa's signature Jazz bass not only add an aesthetic appeal but also provide more flexibility in shaping the tone. These knobs were chosen for their functionality and visual appeal, reflecting Ochoa's commitment to both sound and style.

It's worth noting that Ochoa's signature Jazz bass is free of advertisements, a testament to her focus on the music and the playing experience. In 2025, Ochoa and her bandmate Mark Speer collaborated with Fender on their own signature bass and guitar respectively, further cementing their partnership with the iconic instrument manufacturer.

While details about interviews with Kiki Wong and Billy Corgan were not provided, it's clear that Ochoa's signature Jazz bass is a testament to her passion for music and her dedication to her craft. For bass players looking to emulate Ochoa's distinctive tone and feel, her signature Jazz bass offers an accessible and high-quality option.
