Fender Player II Modified Active Jazz Bass V, 5-String, Electric Blue

The Fender Player II Modified Active Jazz Bass V is a contemporary five-string electric bass that builds upon Fender's iconic Jazz Bass design. This instrument combines classic aesthetics with modern performance features, making it suitable for a wide range of playing styles from vintage to contemporary genres. Its offset body shape and familiar Jazz Bass contours provide both visual appeal and practical playing comfort during extended sessions. Key features include Fender's specially designed Noiseless Jazz Bass pickups, which deliver the quintessential Jazz Bass tone without the hum and interference often associated with single-coil designs. The bass incorporates a switchable active/passive preamp with a comprehensive 3-band EQ (bass, mid, treble), allowing players to shape their sound with precision or revert to traditional passive operation. The modern hardware includes a HiMass bridge with chrome-plated zinc saddles for enhanced sustain, resonance, and string stability, along with tapered-shaft open-gear tuning machines for precise tuning. The neck features a comfortable Modern C profile with a satin urethane finish and rolled fingerboard edges for exceptional playing comfort. The instrument is constructed from a classic wood combination: an alder body paired with a maple neck and rosewood fingerboard. This combination provides a balanced tonal character with clear articulation, warmth, and sufficient brightness. With its 34-inch scale length and 20 medium jumbo frets, the bass offers familiar playing feel with modern refinements. This model is particularly well-suited for intermediate to professional bassists seeking a versatile, performance-ready instrument that can handle diverse musical situations, from studio recording to live performance, while maintaining the essential Jazz Bass sonic identity.
