DESCRIPTION:
The 5-string American Deluxe Jazz Bass V is Fender bass at its best. It delivers the classic iconic Jazz Bass body combined with modern electronics that meet the demands of any serious bassist. An updated preamp circuit and the powerful-yet-quiet N3 Noiseless pickups pump out active and passive tone with more clean headroom, extended EQ range and tighter low-end response. You can also easily move between active and passive with the toggle switch. It's crafted with an alder body for maximum sustain and tonal clarity and a maple neck for strength and stability. The modern C-shape and gloss polyurethane finish provide the ultimate comfort and optimum playability. The high-mass vintage Fender bass bridge and vintage-style saddles offer compressed and focused bass tone with more mid range punch and retain the Fender articulation and sparkle as well as that classic Fender vibe. Other features include a Stealth "B" string retainer, tinted neck, rolled fingerboard edges, highly detailed nut- and fretwork, genuine bone nut, flathead screws on battery compartment (for easy changes with a coin or pick), and a gloss urethane body finish to dress the Fender American Deluxe Jazz Bass V 5-string in ultimate style and beauty.
