Equally current and timeless, the Player II Modified Jazz Bass V beautifully blends the J Bass's storied heritage with modern flair in the form of quality tonewoods, high-performance hardware, and reimagined electronics. Featuring a classic construction, the Player II Modified Jazz Bass V offers contemporary comforts Sweetwater's Fender loyalists cannot do without, such as the modern C-shaped maple neck with smooth rolled edges that pairs with the rosewood fingerboard to deliver rich, articulate tone. To enhance and amplify that tone, Fender has introduced an all-new preamp with a refined 3-band EQ optimized for sonic transparency and an Active/Passive functionality that offers players ultimate flexibility when shaping their sound. Likewise, the Player II Modified J Bass V sports a set of newly voiced Noiseless pickups that serve as the bedrock for versatile Jazz Bass growl. Alongside these upgrades, Fender added some touches it knew the discerning player would appreciate — namely, a 1.875-inch TUSQ nut, tapered shaft tuners, and a HiMass bridge for enhanced intonation, sustain, and stability. For over half a century, the J Bass has masterfully held down the low end on countless records and performances — the captivating Player II Modified Jazz Bass V assuredly carries that legacy forward.
