Fender Jazz Bass V Active Player II Modified MN Olympic Pearl

A Jazz Bass V Designed for the Stage: The Fender Spirit, Today's Precision

This Player II Modified Active Jazz Bass V embodies a decidedly modern approach to the Jazz Bass: it retains Fender's ergonomics and sonic identity while adding performance-oriented features (active electronics, noiseless pickups, more substantial hardware). The result: a 5-string ready to handle rehearsals, studio work, and stage performance, with fine sound control and easy adjustment.

Who Is It For, and What Styles?

Ideal for intermediate to advanced bassists seeking a versatile and reliable 5-string without complications. Thanks to the passive mode and pickup pan control, it covers funk, pop, rock, R&B, gospel, and modern contexts requiring a clean and clear low B. The Modern "C" neck and 9.5" / 241 mm radius offer a good balance between fingerstyle comfort, slap technique, and pick precision.

The Sound

The alder body provides a classic balance: solid lows, present mids, and a clear attack, ideal for cutting through a mix. The two Noiseless pickups retain the Jazz Bass character (definition, articulation, and tone) while minimizing background noise, valuable in stage lighting or high-gain settings. The active preamp with 3-band EQ allows quick fine-tuning of low-end foundation, high-end bite, and midrange presence. In passive mode, it delivers a more organic and direct response, perfect for traditional sounds. The HiMass bridge enhances the feel of stability, tuning hold, and sustain, especially useful on a 5-string.
