V-Mod II Jazz Bass Pickups

At the heart of this bass are Fender's proprietary V-Mod II Jazz Bass pickups. These aren't vintage reissues - they're modern interpretations voiced for today's players while maintaining classic Jazz Bass character. Each pickup can be blended independently, allowing you to dial in everything from warm, round neck pickup tones to bright, cutting bridge pickup sounds, or blend both for the signature scooped Jazz Bass voice with enhanced clarity and output.

5-String Extended Range

The low B string extends your range down to B0, opening up new sonic possibilities for modern music. Whether you're playing heavy rock, contemporary R&B, or jazz fusion, the extended range gives you access to deeper bass tones while maintaining the classic Jazz Bass feel and playability. The 5-string configuration is perfectly balanced with proper string spacing and a comfortable neck profile.

3-Color Sunburst Finish

The classic 3-Color Sunburst finish is timeless - a beautiful blend of amber, red, and black that highlights the alder body's elegant contours. This iconic finish has graced countless legendary Jazz Basses and looks stunning on stage or in the studio. The gloss polyester finish protects the body while allowing it to resonate naturally.

Modern Playability

The Deep C neck profile strikes the perfect balance - substantial enough to feel solid and supportive for a 5-string, slim enough for fast playing and comfortable fretting. The Super-Natural satin finish on the back of the neck eliminates stickiness, allowing your hand to glide effortlessly up and down the fretboard. Combined with narrow tall frets and a 9.5" radius fingerboard, this bass plays as good as it looks.

Perfect For:

Whether you're a professional player demanding extended range and reliable performance, a modern bassist needing low B for contemporary music, a recording artist seeking versatile Jazz Bass tone with 5-string capability, or a Jazz Bass enthusiast who wants American quality with professional appointments, this 3-Color Sunburst beauty delivers. Its combination of iconic tone, extended range, and premium features makes it the ultimate 5-string Jazz Bass.
