Classic Jazz Bass tone with modern versatility

The Fender Player II Modified Active Jazz Bass MN delivers the legendary Jazz Bass sound with cutting-edge upgrades for enhanced performance. Its alder body provides the signature warmth and punch that has defined countless bass recordings, while the Player II Noiseless pickups ensure a clean, articulate tone free from unwanted hum.

This bass keeps the classic Jazz Bass growl intact while offering a noise-free experience, making it perfect for both stage and studio use.

Powerful 18-volt active preamp for tonal control

At the heart of this Jazz Bass is an all-new 18-volt active preamp designed for maximum tonal flexibility. This powerful system features a 3-band EQ with refined midrange shaping, allowing you to dial in everything from vintage warmth to modern clarity. The active/passive toggle switch gives you access to two distinct tonal personalities, ensuring you have the right sound for any genre or playing style. Transparent at unity, this preamp allows the natural character of the bass to shine through while giving you the option to sculpt and refine your tone with precision.

Effortless playability with a comfortable neck

The modern "C"-profile maple neck is built for speed and comfort, making long playing sessions feel effortless. The satin urethane finish on the back of the neck provides a silky-smooth feel, preventing sticking and allowing for fluid movement across the fretboard. With a 9.5”-radius fingerboard, 20 medium jumbo frets, and rolled fingerboard edges, this bass offers a broken-in feel right out of the box. Fast runs, intricate grooves, and smooth slides all feel natural, ensuring an intuitive and comfortable playing experience.

Reliable hardware for rock-solid performance

Designed with stability in mind, the Player II Modified Active Jazz Bass features a 4-saddle HiMass™ bridge that enhances sustain and resonance while providing excellent tuning stability. The tapered-shaft tuning machines create a sharper break angle over the nut, improving sustain and keeping the strings locked in place. A TUSQ® nut from Graph Tech® ensures precise string spacing and enhances the bass’s overall resonance. With these high-quality hardware upgrades, this bass stays in tune and performs flawlessly, even during the most demanding gigs.
