Full Description

Effortless playability

The Fender Player II Modified Active Jazz Bass V is built for smooth and comfortable playability. Its Modern "C"-shaped maple neck is designed for effortless movement, featuring a satin urethane finish on the back for a fast, frictionless feel. The 9.5"-radius maple fingerboard offers a balanced surface that suits both intricate runs and solid groove work, while rolled fingerboard edges add a broken-in feel straight out of the box. With 20 medium jumbo frets, every note is easily accessible, making this bass a joy to play for both rhythm and lead work.

Powerful noiseless tone

The Player II Noiseless Jazz Bass V pickups deliver the iconic Jazz Bass growl with the added benefit of hum-free performance. Playing live or recording in the studio, these pickups ensure a clear and articulate tone without the interference of unwanted noise. From deep, warm lows to punchy mids and crisp highs, they provide a versatile tonal palette that adapts to any genre. Designed to retain all the character of classic Fender basses while eliminating single-coil hum, they offer a clean and powerful foundation for your sound.

Active preamp with versatile tone control

Equipped with an all-new 18V active preamp, this bass offers incredible flexibility in shaping your tone. The 3-band EQ provides control over treble, mids, and bass, allowing for precise sculpting of your sound to suit any playing style or mix. The active/passive mini toggle switch ensures that you’re never limited by one tonal approach—engage the preamp for extra punch and clarity, or switch to passive mode for a more traditional Jazz Bass feel. With transparent unity gain when set flat, the preamp enhances your sound without colouring it, giving you full command over every note.

Reliable hardware for stage and studio

Designed for stability and longevity, the Player II Modified Active Jazz Bass V features a 5-saddle HiMass™ bridge that enhances sustain and resonance while ensuring rock-solid intonation. The bridge’s additional mass transfers more energy to the body, resulting in a fuller, more resonant tone. Tapered-shaft tuning machines improve tuning stability by increasing the break angle at the nut, reducing slippage and enhancing sustain. A Graph Tech® TUSQ® nut further ensures precision tuning and a consistent tone across all five strings, making this bass an incredibly reliable choice for any performance.
