From Our Research Team:

An Affordable Jazz Bass with a Modern Twist

The new FENDER® Modern Player series brings classic models with modern appointments to an affordable level. The Fender Modern Player Jazz Bass® brings you many of the classic features such as an offset waist and a slim fast neck, but also boasts modern touches like brass saddles, jumbo frets, and dual humbucking pickups. You won't believe that a bass this affordable can play and sound this good.

Fender Modern Player Jazz Bass at a Glance:
  • Lightweight, "offset waist" alder body
  • Maple neck with modern "C" shape
  • Rosewood Fingerboard


Lightweight, "offset waist" alder body
Bass guitars are big and that can mean heavy, too. So the Fender Modern Player Jazz Bass comes with the distinctive "offset waist" body design, but made from alder, which is resonant, but relatively light, which you'll appreciate after two or three hours up on stage.

Maple neck with modern "C" shape
You'll marvel at the comfort of the nicely balanced maple neck with a modern "C" shape. The ease of playability will amaze and inspire you.

Rosewood Fingerboard
While almost all the early Fender instruments had maple necks and fingerboards, the company quickly realized that some players preferred the slightly warmer sound and feel of a traditional rosewood fingerboard. For the 4-string Modern Player Jazz Bass®, it's the perfect match. Whether you are laying down a smooth groove, rocking the night away, or keeping the funk flame alive the Modern Player Jazz Bass is the bass for you.

Fender Modern Player Jazz Bass Features:
  • Alder body

Our Customers Say...

My Sales Engineer knows all his products. I can call and ask him anything and he's on top of it. Some other places just want to sell you something, but I've found Sweetwater to be a helpful, professional company to work with.
