Classic Lines

The smooth contours of the offset body of a Fender Jazz Bass is instantly identifiable, as are the classic Fender finishes, from sunburst to custom colors. The Player Plus Jazz Bass V is a proud carrier of that tradition. Made of resonant alder, these J-Bass models carry that signature tone, and in your choice of several classic finishes, plus the new Belair Blue linear burst finish, they’re a standout at any show, large or small.

Maximum Playing Comfort

The biggest upgrades for the Player Plus Jazz Bass V lie in the neck. A neck may be the single most important part of any bass, since it serves are the direct interface to the instrument for any player. The traditional 34″ scale is the same, but the new 12″ fingerboard radius makes for quicker, easier playing and rolled edges add to long term playing comfort. Medium-jumbo frets add to both precise intonation and easier fretting.

Electronics That Sing

After the neck, the pickups are the center of any electric instrument’s tone, and the Player Plus Jazz Bass V is endowed with the latest generation of Fender’s Noiseless Jazz Bass pickups. With the ability to go from smooth and crystal-clear to growling and aggressive while eschewing any background hum, these pickups carry the signature Jazz Bass tones to new worlds of tonal satisfaction. Adding to the bass’ versatility is Fender’s 3-band active EQ. With cut and boost for highs, mids and lows, it’s easy to dial in any precise tone, and, for occasions when passive is preferable, flip the mini toggle switch and bypass the EQ altogether.

Built From the Bottom

Sustain, precise intonation, resonance and tuning stability are some of the most important attributes of any bass. The Player Plus Jazz Bass V has all these, thanks to Fender’s HiMass bridge and traditional open-gear tuners. The mass of the bridge and saddles couples easily with the body while adding a solid foundation for increased sustain. Intonation adjusts smoothly and precisely with the chrome-plated zinc saddles. Fender’s bass tuners have been a touchstone for stability and remain one of the simplest and best tuning machine designs.
