The iconic Fender Jazz Bass

A Fender Jazz Bass can be found in the collection of thousands of bassists around the world for its playability and the way its tone sits wonderfully in a track while providing plenty of low end. Fender's Deluxe Active Jazz Bass V stuck closely to the Jazz Bass tradition with dual J-bass pickups that deliver the famous blend of warmth and attack. The contoured, offset body stays true to the original's balanced and comfortable feel. And at 34", the Deluxe Active Jazz Bass V's scale length will be immediately familiar to devotees of Fender's original design.

5-string versatility

The Fender Deluxe Active Jazz Bass V added a great-feeling low-B string to their J-bass design because many of today's music genres demand the power and low-end punch that only a 5-string electric bass guitar can deliver. This offers Fender players greatly extended versatility. Whether used for the floor-rumbling sounds of dub or the punchy tones needed for today's slap bass techniques you'll be able to achieve it easily on the Deluxe Active Jazz V. This is one of the most popular 5-strings at Sweetwater for its low-end abilities and vintage character.

And the 3-band active EQ section can quickly and effortlessly tune the character of your bass to the demands of your gig.
