The Modern Player J-Bass Is Back and Better Than Ever!

The Fender Modern Player Jazz Bass gives you classic tone and playability in an affordable instrument, juiced with Fender ingenuity. This 4-string electric bass sports two humbuckers and a cool 4-position rotary pickup selector. It serves up a powerful quartet of pickup combinations covering everything from vintage growl to modern scoop. The contoured, offset-waist alder body and fast rosewood maple neck let you rock all night in comfort, while the hi-mass bridge delivers monumental sustain. You simply can't go wrong with the Fender Modern Player Jazz Bass!

Fender Modern Player Jazz Bass at a Glance:
  • Two beefy humbuckers and 4-way switching deliver an arsenal of tone
  • Light, offset-waist alder body
  • Rosewood fingerboard boasts warmth, comfort, and speed
Two beefy humbuckers and 4-way switching deliver an arsenal of tone

The Fender Modern Player Jazz Bass lets you take the stage with a secret weapon. In the pickup department, you get two beefy humbuckers whose coils, if you take a closer look, consist of two Jazz Bass single-coil pickups put together. How cool is that? You get to mix this potent elixir through an innovative 4-position rotary selector. It gives you full middle and bridge pickups, full middle pickup and bridge pickup outer coil, the full bridge pickup and middle pickup outer coil, and the outer coil of both pickups. With these four selections plus separate volume pots for each pickup and a master tone control, you get a weapons-grade tone arsenal that has you covered for any style of music.

Light, offset-waist alder body

Bass guitars are big. That can mean heavy, too. Supremely comfortable whether you're seated or standing, the Fender Modern Player Jazz Bass comes with the distinctive offset-waist body. But it's made from alder, which is resonant yet relatively light, which you'll appreciate after several hours up on stage. And with its elegant satin finish, your Modern Player Jazz Bass will command the eyes as well as the ears of your fans!

Rosewood fingerboard boasts warmth, comfort, and speed

While 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're 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:
  • Offset-waist alder body with elegant satin finish
  • Maple neck with rosewood fingerboard
  • 2 humbucking pickups
  • 4-position rotary pickup selector
  • 4-saddle HiMass bridge
  • Jumbo frets

You simply can't go wrong with the Fender Modern Player Jazz Bass!
