The 34-inch scale length and 20 frets provide familiar feel and excellent access across the fretboard.

What does "Modified Active" signify in the Player II Jazz Bass?

The "Modified Active" designation refers to the advanced electronics system in this bass. It includes newly voiced Player II Noiseless Jazz Bass single-coil pickups, which deliver classic J Bass tone without hum. Crucially, it also features an all-new 3-band active preamp with a refined EQ for sonic transparency and an Active/Passive functionality, offering players ultimate flexibility and precise sound shaping beyond traditional controls.
