Classic Vibe, Modern Muscle
Meet the Fender Player II Modified Active Jazz Bass V, a five-string powerhouse that perfectly melds iconic J-Bass feel with the expanded sonic palette that only active electronics can provide. This isn’t just another vintage reissue; it’s a hot-rodded classic built for the modern player. From its resonant alder body to the re-voiced Noiseless pickups, every detail is engineered for performance. The stunning ‘Dusk’ finish gives it a custom-shop look that’s ready for any stage.
Voiced for Versatility
The heart of this beast is the potent combination of two Player II Noiseless™ Jazz Bass V pickups and a brand-new 18V active preamp. This setup delivers the warm, growling single-coil tone you love, but without any of the 60-cycle hum. Need to cut through a dense mix? The three-band active EQ gives you powerful control over your bass, mids, and treble. Prefer a more old-school sound? Just flip the mini-toggle to passive mode for a classic, mellow vibe.
Effortless Playability
Fender knows how a bass should feel. The Modern “C” neck profile is slim, fast, and comfortable, finished with a silky satin urethane that never gets sticky. The maple fingerboard features a modern 9.5″ radius and smooth rolled edges, making it feel perfectly broken-in right out of the box. Whether you’re laying down a simple groove or flying across the 20 medium-jumbo frets, this neck is built to keep up.
Rock-Solid Hardware
It’s the little things that make a big difference. A Fender HiMass™ bridge provides rock-solid tuning stability and enhances sustain, ensuring that the low B-string stays tight and articulate. Up top, a genuine TUSQ® nut and tapered-shaft tuners work together to keep you perfectly in tune, no matter how hard you dig in.
