Fender Player II Modified Active Jazz Bass V, Rosewood Fingerboard, Electric Blue

A five-string Jazz Bass with active electronics and a modified pickup setup — this is a working bassist's instrument. The five-string configuration extends your low range down to B, giving you access to notes that simply aren't available on a four-string. The active preamp expands your EQ control and gives you a hotter, more versatile signal than a passive J-Bass.

Electric Blue is a vivid, stage-ready color that photographs well and stands out without being outlandish. The rosewood fingerboard adds warmth to the naturally bright Jazz Bass tone. The wider five-string neck takes adjustment if you're coming from a four-string, but the additional range it provides is transformative for certain playing styles. A strong option for modern rock, metal, and extended-range bass players who want Fender quality and Jazz Bass feel.
