Product Description

The instantly recognisable Jazz bass has been updated for Fender’s Player series of guitars, taking the mantle over from the Mexican-made Standard range.

It combines classic style with modern playability to make your life as comfortable as possible whether practising, recording or playing live.

Modern comfort

The modern ‘C’-shaped Maple neck is a staple of Fender’s basses, offering that smooth playability we know and love. The difference this time round with the Player Jazz is its satin finish. There will always be the debate between gloss and satin necks and sometimes it does come down to preference, but rest assured the Jazz sports luxurious-feeling woods also used to build American-made models.

A 9.5” Pau Ferro fretboard is comfortable to explore, and the 20 medium jumbo frets are suitable for almost any playing type. Meanwhile, the Alder body offers a nice balance between weightiness and deep growl that made this bass so well-renowned.

The four-saddle bridge and synthetic bone nut ensure you have accurate intonation and easy access to adjust the action in line with your playing preferences. Two volume knobs and one tone knob are also close-to-hand for crafting your perfect sound. The whole package is extremely reliable for working musicians who don’t want to pay almost twice as much for its USA cousin.

Authentic Fender tone and looks

Bassists after fat, rumbling bass tones will love the newly-designed alnico 5 single-coil pickups, both in the bridge and middle positions. These have a slight vintage tinge to the tone, with great versatility and nuance to be punching above its price range. 

The Player Jazz’s body-shape, combined with the swirling three-ply pickguard, vintage headstock and blooming tuners make this bass a vintage classic. Trust Fender to produce sturdy instruments with high-quality hardware, capable of surviving wear and tear on the road for years to come.

Bass arrived with a straight neck, dialled in bridge and after a quick tune sounded great. Paint job is impeccable and looks great hanging on my wall when not in use. Could this be love?

Mr. Daniel Eades8th Aug 2019

Stunning colour and sounds awesome with the alnico 5 magnets, the down side is it needed a truss rod adjustment and set up, it was straight from the factory boxed sealed so fender qc was a bit lacking that day , the satin neck is something to get used to as my others are all gloss, didn't come with a gig bag but wasn't a deal breaker, guess it helps them reduce costs
