Prepare to use Player II Modified to elevate your performance to the next level. These adaptable instruments are made to withstand anything you can throw at them and have important enhancements for today's guitarists and bassists. The Fender Player II Modified Active Jazz Bass V 5-String Right-Handed Guitar in Dusk is a timeless instrument designed with today's players in mind. The entire neck is made to play quickly and fluidly, from the comfortable 9.5-inch-radius slab maple fingerboard with smooth rolled edges and 20 medium jumbo frets to the modern ‘C’ profile with a smooth satin urethane finish on the back. In addition to offering iconic Fender punch, the alder body comes in several intriguing new finishes. The all-new active preamp with active and passive tone control and an EQ section gives musicians the ideal tool to dial in their favorite tones, while the Player II Noiseless pickups deliver the classic Jazz Bass V growl while removing unnecessary noise. For even the most demanding performances, tuning remains remarkably stable because to the combination of the 5-saddle HiMass bridge, tapered-shaft tuners, and TUSQ nut. The Player II Modified Active Jazz Bass V is a great addition to any arsenal.

Neck, Fingerboard, and Pickups

With a modern ‘C’ profile and a smooth, satin back, the maple neck is made for incredibly comfortable performance. The hand-rolled fingerboard edges create a very appealing broken-in feel, and the 9.5-inch-radius fingerboard allows for smooth leads and choke-free bends. The noiseless pickups eliminate unnecessary noise while delivering the trademark Fender thud and growl. These are the most natural-sounding noiseless pickups Fender has yet, and they are ideal for any performance.

Newly-Designed Preamp

The brand-new Player II Modified 18-volt active preamp is the ideal match for the newly designed pickups and was created with professional players' demands in mind. With its 3-band EQ, revised mid-Q, and center frequency, as well as its new active and passive tone control, this preamp - which is transparent when at unity - gives musicians even more sonic freedom and improves their ability to shape their sound.

Bridge, Tuners, and Nut

The four strengthened chrome-plated zinc saddles on this top-load bridge fit neatly inside saddle grooves for rock-solid intonation and tuning stability, while the plate's increased bulk adds resonance and sustain. The tapered shaft of these tuning machines draws strings in the direction of the headstock, creating a sharper break angle that enhances tuning sustain and stability. The Graph Tech TUSQ nut generates more midrange harmonics and offers unmatched tuning stability.
