Fender Player II Modified Active Jazz Bass, Rosewood Fingerboard, Dusk

Description

The Player II Modified Jazz Bass blends the historic design of the Jazz Bass with modern features by combining high-quality tonewoods, high-performance hardware, and revised electronics. Its classic design elements give the Player II Modified Jazz Bass the modern comfort and playability that Jazz Bass purists would prefer not to be without. You get a modern "C"-shaped maple neck with rounded fretboard edges and a contoured alder body that can deliver a clear and articulate Jazz Bass tone.

To enhance and amplify this tone, Fender has introduced an all-new preamp with a refined 3-band EQ, optimized to deliver a more transparent tone, as well as active/passive functionality that gives the bassist more options when shaping their sound. The Player II Modified Jazz Bass also features a set of newly developed Noiseless pickups that can deliver a full and low-noise signal. In addition, Fender has upgraded the Player II Modified Jazz Bass with a 1.5" TUSQ nut, Tapered-Shaft tuning keys, and a HiMass bridge to improve intonation, sustain, and stability.

To isolate the controls and deliver a more even tone, Fender has equipped the Player II Modified preamp with three individual gain stages. By combining this design with a mid-Q knob—a narrowing of the bandwidth of the treble and midrange controls—and by changing the center frequency of each band, Fender has succeeded in creating a Jazz Bass with a more focused low end, a punchier midrange, and clearer highs. You still get a traditional tone control that works in both active and passive modes.

The Player II Modified Jazz Bass has two Fender Noiseless pickups that are calibrated to capture the natural Jazz Bass tone while suppressing hum and noise. These Noiseless pickups form the foundation for the Player II Modified's preamp to deliver a highly dynamic sound—clear, articulate, warm, and growling.

Sometimes it is the small details that can elevate a bass. Fender has therefore equipped the Player II Modified Jazz Bass with a TUSQ nut, Tapered-Shaft tuning keys, and a HiMass bridge to ensure proper intonation, improve tuning stability, and enhance the bass's overall resonance.

Fender introduced the Player II Modified Jazz Bass to offer bassists a classic Jazz Bass with modern features. With new Noiseless pickups, improved electronics, and innovative hardware, the Player II Modified Jazz Bass is an excellent option for the bassist who wants a Player II Jazz Bass that is more hot-rodded!
