Description
If you live for expressive tone, smooth playability, and modern flexibility, the Fender Player II Modified Active Jazz Bass is built with you in mind. This isn't just a refreshed take on a legendary instrument; it's a bold, feature-packed evolution of the Jazz Bass formula, made for players who demand more from their gear. Onstage, in the studio, or anywhere creativity strikes.
At its core, this bass stays true to the classic J-Bass spirit, with an alder body that delivers that unmistakable Fender clarity and punch. But where it really shines is in its tone-sculpting power. Outfitted with a set of Player II Noiseless Jazz Bass pickups, it dishes out all the growl and articulation you expect from a J-Bass-minus the hum. The all-new active preamp offers a full suite of EQ controls, plus an active/passive switch for instant tonal flexibility. Whether you're chasing tight slap tones, warm fingerstyle textures, or gritty rock edge, this bass has you covered.
From the moment you pick it up, the neck feels built for speed. The Modern "C" profile and satin urethane finish on the back make for fluid movement up and down the fretboard, while the rolled edges, 9.5" radius, and 20 medium jumbo frets give it a comfortable, broken-in feel right out of the box. Hardware upgrades like the 4-saddle HiMass bridge, tapered-shaft tuners, and a TUSQ nut ensure rock-solid tuning stability and enhanced sustain no matter how hard you dig in.
Visually, the maple fingerboard adds a punchy aesthetic that pairs perfectly with the bold new finish options Fender introduced with this series. It's sharp, clean, and undeniably modern while still tipping its hat to tradition.
The Player II Modified Active Jazz Bass brings premium features to an accessible platform, making it an ideal choice for pros, weekend warriors, and ambitious players alike. It's a workhorse with style, soul, and the kind of tone that inspires you to play just a little longer.
