Full Description

Fast and comfortable playability

The Fender Player II Modified Active Jazz Bass MN is built for effortless performance, with a modern “C”-shaped neck that fits comfortably in the hand. Its satin urethane finish ensures a smooth, friction-free feel, allowing for quick movement up and down the neck. The 9.5" radius fingerboard strikes the perfect balance between vintage comfort and modern precision, making intricate runs and complex grooves feel natural. Rolled fingerboard edges add an extra layer of comfort, giving the bass a broken-in feel straight out of the box. From fingerstyle grooves to high-energy slap lines, this bass delivers a fluid and responsive playing experience.

Powerful, noise-free tone

At the heart of this Jazz Bass is a set of Player II Noiseless pickups, engineered to deliver the signature growl and punch of a traditional Jazz Bass without the hum. These pickups maintain all the warmth and clarity of classic Fender tone while eliminating unwanted interference, making them ideal for stage and studio use. Tight, articulate mids bring funk and fusion to life, while deep, resonant lows provide the power needed for rock and blues. The bridge pickup cuts through the mix with precision, while the neck pickup adds warmth and fullness, letting you shape your perfect sound with ease.

Versatile active preamp

The newly designed 18V active preamp gives this bass an impressive level of tonal control, making it one of the most versatile Jazz Basses available. The 3-band EQ lets you sculpt your sound with precision, offering treble, mid, and bass adjustments that allow for everything from bright slap tones to deep, rumbling lows. A refined midrange Q and center frequency add extra clarity and responsiveness to your tone, ensuring every note is well-defined. The active/passive mini toggle switch provides the flexibility to switch between modern active power and a more traditional passive Jazz Bass sound, making this bass a powerhouse for any style.

Enhanced stability and sustain

Built for reliability, this bass features premium hardware designed for maximum stability and sustain. The Fender HiMass™ bridge increases resonance and enhances sustain, ensuring that every note rings out with clarity. Tapered-shaft tuning machines create a sharper break angle at the nut, improving tuning stability and helping the strings stay in place during aggressive playing. A Graph Tech® TUSQ® nut adds further consistency to the tuning while enhancing the bass’s natural harmonics. Whether on stage or in the studio, these hardware upgrades ensure that this bass remains rock-solid, letting you focus entirely on your performance.
