September of 2021, Fender comes out with a more “advanced” or “modern” instrument building off the Player Series, called the Player Plus Series. The Player Plus series consists of seven models, three of which are basses, and only one of which is a 5-string, which we review here. The upgrades above the Player Series are a preamp (with new voicing specific to the Player Plus Series), noise-cancelling pickups, a flatter fingerboard radius, the Hi-Mass™ bridge, rolled fingerboard edges, and yet again, some more new colors. 
Details

This review bass has an alder body with a gloss polyester finish over a fiesta red finish. As far as color options go, pretty standard for a Jazz Bass®. The Player Plus series has some nice finish options. Go check them out! The hardware is straightforward chrome, except for the Hi-Mass bridge, which is based on the same upgraded bridge that goes on Ultra models. Otherwise, the tuners are standard chrome clover leaf, the strap buttons are of the typical conical fare, and the knobs are classic black plastic J-bass style. The neck heel plate is chrome over a standard 4-bolt attachment, and the neck heel is not contoured on this model. The neck shape is a “modern C,” 34” scale, with a 12” fingerboard radius. It incorporates medium jumbo frets, white pearl dot inlays, and a 1.875” wide synthetic bone nut. The preamp configuration is master volume, pan (blend), bass/treble stack (boost and cut), midrange (boost/cut), and an active/passive mini-toggle switch. The pickups are their own Player Plus Noiseless™

Fit and finish

All the hardware works smoothly and reliably, and the bass takes a great setup (the fret level is really quite good for this price range). The fingerboard has nicely rolled edges, and the fret ends are also nicely finished –  The neck fit is surprisingly tight on this bass, also comparable to much higher end models. the finish or fitment of the pieces parts, and the wood selections seem particularly nice.This bass weighs in at 10.8 pounds. Based on what I’ve seen online for this model, 10+ pounds is pretty typical for this model. the bass has the familiar classic Fender contoured body shape, and the newer neck profile is very comfortable to play. The noiseless pickups sound really good , very even across the strings, with a good dynamic range and breadth of tone. Also, the preamp – which they say is newly voiced for this model – sounds pretty comparable to the Elite and Ultra series. Lacks tone control in passive mode.
