The Player Plus Series - an Improved Jazz Bass

First introduced in 1960, the Fender Jazz Bass has withstood the test of time to become one of the most played and recorded instruments. The Fender Player Plus Series Active Jazz Bass celebrates this heritage with upgrades that working musicians will appreciate. With its offset alder body and fast-action maple neck, this J Bass is incredibly comfortable to play and lets you pull off extremely tight runs and grooves with ease. It also delivers the legendary J Bass punch and growl, courtesy of two Player Plus Noiseless Jazz Bass pickups. Get your groove on with the Fender Player Plus Series Active Jazz Bass.

Vintage vibe, modern edge

For their new Player Plus Series basses, Fender went back to the drawing board with updated radii for more historically accurate body shapes, new vintage-inspired finishes, and a classic logo that harkens back to the Fenders of yesteryear. But these smooth-playing instruments also look to the future with new Player Plus Noiseless Jazz Bass pickups that crank out legendary Fender tone by the boatload. There's never been a better time to get into a genuine Fender bass. And with a 3-band active EQ and a toggle switch for active and passive modes, you’ll be laying down sweet grooves with the touch of a modern classic.

The timeless J Bass sound

Whether you play rock or country, funk or blues, or (naturally) jazz, the Player Plus Series Active Jazz Bass will deliver the tone you need. This J Bass comes loaded with a pair of Fender-designed Player Plus Noiseless Jazz Bass pickups that deliver the classic J Bass sound with improved clarity. And with the Player Plus Series's master volume, pan pot, and active/passive toggle, you'll be able to dial in the exact sound you want.

Shaped for comfort and performance

One of the things that made the J Bass an instant hit with working bass players was its unique offset-waist body shape. Perfect whether playing standing or seated, the classic Jazz Bass contoured body will make those marathon gigs and sessions much more comfortable. With its modern "C"-profile maple neck and 12-inch-radius fingerboard, this instrument not only facilitates the fluid execution of fast, complex bass lines, it's also perfect for any musical style  which is why you hear the Fender Jazz Bass in every genre of music.
