Description
Lefty players know the struggle of hunting for a bass that isn’t just a converted righty, and the Player Jazz Bass Left-Handed puts that problem to rest. This is a proper southpaw build with the same alder body, Modern C maple neck, and dual Player Series Alnico 5 single-coil pickups that make the Jazz Bass a low-end staple from studio dates to loud stages.
The tone here is that unmistakable Jazz Bass thing – punchy in the mids, tight down low, with a growl that cuts through a dense mix without needing to fight for space. Two independent volume controls (one per pickup) plus a master tone knob give you real control over the blend, from a scooped, funky snap to a fuller, rounder thump depending on how you dial it in.
Playability is where this bass earns its keep on long sets. The pau ferro board sits on a 9.5-inch radius with 20 medium-jumbo frets, comfortable under the hand whether you’re walking lines or digging into faster passages. A 4-saddle bridge keeps intonation locked in and makes action tweaks straightforward when you want to personalize the setup.
Details that add up: synthetic bone nut, vintage-style disc string trees, open-gear tuners, and the four-bolt F-stamped neck plate that marks it as genuine Fender. Finished in 3-Color Sunburst over a gloss polyester body with a 3-ply parchment pickguard for that timeless look.
