The Working Player’s Five-String, Refined
This isn’t just another bass. The Fender American Professional Jazz Bass V is the culmination of over sixty years of listening to players and refining an icon. Finished in a deep, alluring Oxblood, this bass has a presence that’s felt before you even play a note. It’s built for the musician who needs that extended low-end range without sacrificing the clarity and punch that put the J Bass on the map.
Modern Feel, Classic Soul
From the moment you pick it up, the Slim “C” neck profile feels like an old friend. Fender’s “Super-Natural” satin finish on the back of the neck is pure buttery bliss, offering zero resistance as your hand glides up and down the fretboard. Combined with a 9.5″ radius maple fingerboard and narrow-tall frets, it provides a perfect platform for both intricate melodic lines and solid, foundational grooves. This neck is built for long nights on stage and in the studio.
Sonic Versatility on Tap
The heart of this bass is its pair of V-Mod III Single-Coil Jazz Bass V pickups. Fender voiced these pickups specifically for their positions, resulting in a sound that is both articulate and powerful. You get all the vintage warmth and growl you expect, but with an added layer of punch and presence that cuts through any mix. Whether you’re laying down a subtle foundation or stepping out for a solo, these pickups deliver the nuance and power your music demands.
Rock-Solid Foundation
Every piece of hardware is chosen for performance. The 5-Saddle HiMass Pro bridge offers serious sustain and rock-solid tuning stability, with the option for string-through-body or top-loading to dial in your preferred tension and attack. Up top, Fender’s lightweight vintage-style tuners with tapered shafts provide smooth, reliable tuning. It’s a professional tool, through and through, ready for the road.
