Serial Number: MX25058510 Weight: 9 lbs 10 oz

A Jazz Bass That Melds Classic Feel and Hotrod Mods

Equally current and timeless, the Player II Modified Jazz Bass beautifully blends the J Bass's storied heritage with modern flair in the form of quality tonewoods, high-performance hardware, and reimagined electronics. Featuring a classic construction, the Player II Modified Jazz Bass offers contemporary comforts Fender loyalists cannot do without, such as the modern C-shaped maple neck with smooth rolled edges that pairs with the rosewood fingerboard to deliver rich, articulate tone. To enhance and amplify that tone, Fender has introduced an all-new preamp with a refined 3-band EQ optimized for sonic transparency and an Active/Passive functionality that offers players ultimate flexibility when shaping their sound. Likewise, the Player II Modified J Bass sports a set of newly voiced Noiseless pickups that serve as the bedrock for versatile Jazz Bass growl. Alongside these upgrades, Fender added some touches it knew the discerning player would appreciate — namely, a 1.5-inch TUSQ nut, tapered shaft tuners, and a HiMass bridge for enhanced intonation, sustain, and stability. For over half a century, the J Bass has masterfully held down the low end on countless records and performances — the captivating Player II Modified Jazz Bass assuredly carries that legacy forward.

A 3-band active preamp — reimagined

Three individual amplifier stages exist within the Player II Modified preamp in an effort to silo the controls and deliver the most consistent tone possible. When combined with the addition of a mid-Q switch — a narrowing of the treble- and mid-bandwidths and changes to the center frequency of each band — you get a much more focused low-end, a punchier midrange, and a clearer high end that reduces muddiness and allows the J Bass to cut straight through the mix. Along with enhanced transparency and defined dynamics, the Player II Modified Jazz Bass also houses a traditional Tone knob that functions in Active and Passive modes, so whether you enjoy the earthy, organic grooves of a passive bass or the snappy, bright sound of an active circuit, you’ll never lose your scalpel-like tonal precision.

All voice, no noise

The Player II Modified J Bass houses two single-coil, Alnico V Fender Noiseless pickups that have been meticulously re-voiced to capture the natural Jazz Bass tone and eliminate unwanted hum and noise. These pickups form the backbone of the nuanced J Bass sound and work in tandem with the all-new Player II Modified preamp to achieve the most dynamic low-end possible. Clear, articulate, warm, and growling, this 2-pickup setup delivers the iconic Jazz Bass versatility whether onstage or in the studio.

High-performance hardware

Sometimes, it’s the finer details that can elevate a bass to that next level of superiority. Knowing this, Fender outfitted the Player II Modified Jazz Bass with a 1.5-inch TUSQ nut, tapered shaft tuners on the headstock, and a HiMass bridge to ensure proper intonation, improve tuning stability, and solidify the bass’ overall sonic resonance. These upgrades further prove that even when reworking a classic design, the skilled artisans at Fender never settle for “good enough.”
