A Jazz Bass Reimagined for Today's Bassists
The Jazz Bass is an essential reference for its precision, comfort, and ability to fit into any mix. This Player II Modified Active retains Fender's DNA (Jazz Bass shape, familiar ergonomics) while adding modern features: full active electronics, active/passive switching, and Noiseless pickups for a more confident stage and studio experience.
For Which Bassists and Styles?
This bass is aimed at intermediate to advanced bassists seeking a Jazz Bass capable of shifting from vintage tones to a more modern, cutting sound without changing instruments. It excels in pop, funk, rock, R&B, gospel, and studio settings, thanks to the pickup pan control and 3-band EQ that allow quick adaptation of the bass's place in the mix.
The Sound
The pair of Noiseless pickups delivers a classic Jazz Bass response: clear attack, precise lows, and articulate mids, with appreciable noise reduction especially when pushing gain or playing under stage lighting. The pan control allows fine blending of bridge and neck pickups: more bite and definition on the bridge side, more warmth and depth on the neck side.
The alder body provides a natural balance (firm lows, present mids, clean highs), while the maple fingerboard enhances clarity and attack, ideal for slap and dynamic lines. In active mode, the 3-band EQ helps boost punch, scoop mids, or brighten the top end; in passive mode, it offers a more direct and organic approach. The HiMass bridge contributes to a solid note feel and generous sustain.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To maintain the original feel and balance, a replacement set of Fender USA 7250M Nickel Plated Steel (.045-.105) strings (PN 0737250406) is a safe choice. A Deluxe Gig Bag is included for everyday transport and protection.
